[Discuss] Boston Linux Meeting Wednesday, November 15, 2017 - 3D Printing

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

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.

*** 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.
