Your experience starts right here. While it is not necessary to do anything prior to you showing up on August 12, except for filling out our Logistics Form so we can coordinate all the participants.

			Just bring a laptop to run the 3D printer. If you have a cordless drill, it will also be useful. And if you have a time lapse camera app on your smart phone, and a tripod - bring that as well. Build timelapses are good.

	We like to involve our workshop participants in development as well. If you would like to join our dedicated Development Team - which is the engine behind our ambitious open source product development effort - the requirement is 10 hours of volunteer time per week. This is a serious commitment - for those who are interested at more in-depth participation in Open Source Ecology. The reward is meaningful learning and open source product design. Please see http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/OSE_Developers.		We like to involve our workshop participants in development as well.

	1. To get you started, please download FreeCAD (http://freecadweb.org/wiki/Download) - and feel free to explore our 3D CAD files for the D3D 3D Printer: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:D3D_CAD_Assembly.fcstd. Note that all of the CAD is being cleaned and finalized to make for seamless experience - so you can download new versions of the CAD design as they become available. But we like to publish early and often - so you can see what we have already. The current version does not include all the details and has minor design changes. We will be producing more detailed video instructionals for navigating D3D in FreeCAD prior to the workshop - but you can also see our FreeCAD 101 right now to learn some FreeCAD basics - http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/FreeCAD_101. We will go over FreeCAD basics in the workshop.		1.

	2. ~~We build things in a modular way - here you can download some~~ of the ~~individual modules in FreeCAD. The modules are hyperlinked in the presentation:~~ http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/~~D3D_Integration~~		2. Download of the control software - OSE Marlin - http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:OSE_Marlin.zip

	3. ~~Download of~~ the ~~control~~ software - ~~OSE Marlin - http~~://~~opensourceecology~~.~~org~~/~~wiki~~/~~File:OSE_Marlin~~.~~zip~~		3. To upload the software to your 3D printer, you will have to have the Arduino Environment, v1.6.8 (not the latest version, as the latest version can crash) - https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftwareReleases#previous . Arduino Environment is used to upload the Marlin code to the Arduino Mega controller that we use. If you are savvy and have an Arduino Mega in your drawers, you can test the upload of the OSE Marlin prior to the workshop.

Hello ________,

Thanks for registering to OSE's One Day Extreme Build of the D3D 3D Printer. Your experience starts right here. While it is not necessary to do anything prior to you showing up on April 29 - except for filling out our Logistics Form so we can coordinate all the participants - http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_Logistics_Form. Just note that you should bring your own laptop (with USB port) to run the 3D printer.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to meeting you. More preparation notes are below.

Thanks,
Marcin and the OSE Team

--------------------------------
Here are some things you can do to be more prepared, which we encourage if you have the time. We intend to bring the software for you to the event on a USB stick. Since software can be tricky sometimes, it is recommended that you download the software to your laptop. You will need a laptop with a USB port to run your printer.

1. To get you started, please download FreeCAD (http://freecadweb.org/wiki/Download) - and feel free to explore our 3D CAD files for the D3D 3D Printer: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:D3D_CAD_Assembly.fcstd.

We will be producing more detailed video instructionals for navigating D3D in FreeCAD prior to the workshop - but you can also see our FreeCAD 101 right now to learn some FreeCAD basics - http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/FreeCAD_101. We will go over FreeCAD basics in the workshop.

2. We build things in a modular way - here you can download some of the individual modules in FreeCAD. The modules are hyperlinked in the presentation: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/D3D_Integration

3. Download of the control software - OSE Marlin - http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:OSE_Marlin.zip
