When: November 15, 2017 8PM (7:30PM for Q&A) Topic: 3D Printing Moderators: Algot Runeman Location: MIT Building E-51, Room 315 *** Note new Time **** As a result of the new MIT parking regulations, we will be holding our meetings later than usual. There should be plenty of metered parking available. In Cambridge the meters are free after 8PM. See parking note below. Summary: 3D printing ranges from being a hobby like the presenter's work to engineering prototyping and soon, functional tissue/organ printing, depending on the materials and printers used. Abstract: You will get a look into the hobby level of 3D printing using PLA plastic filament and a $1250 printer (Lulzbot Mini). The projects you will see run from frivolous to practical. The example projects have all been developed using OpenSCAD, with occasional support for outlines made using Inkscape. Both are well-respected Free Software. For further information and directions please consult the BLU Web site http://www.blu.org *** Parking Notice *** *** MIT just changed to new parking regulations *** Parking at MIT without a Permit MIT parking permits are required for all vehicles on MIT property. Vehicles without MIT parking permits parked in any MIT parking area will be subject to ticketing or towing. ? After Hours Anyone with a valid MIT parking permit can park his/her vehicle in any parking facility on campus after 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends and MIT holidays. Please note that parking is only allowed in spots that are not otherwise reserved. ?Change here is that permits for any lot now valid in all lots after 2:30; previously permits were not required per website after 5 and in reality after 3, but now no. Parking is at risk. Cambridge meters and the pay lots and garages are the only safe options. Note also that Cambridge meters in the Kendall area. The Passport app is only usable in Harvard Sq. Parking meters are free after 8PM. before that they cost $1.25/Hr, and only take quarters.
