- Xcarve - kit by inventables - https://www.inventables.com/technologies/x-carve
- Not in a makerspace
- Email list -
- Google - programming.
- Has a makerspace at Work - at Google
- Host an event at Google?
- Imagined what uses before 3D printer -
- Didn't know how much you had to know about design to make useful objects
- It's not advertise that "you need to learn 3D modeling"
- "I want to make unique parts, but it requires CAD skill to do it" - stephen.
- If I need it - it will happen
- If it's not unique - I'll just buy it
- Example of having to make it - hose adapter for a shop vac, 2"
- What did you do to learn 3D design? Took tech drawing in high school. Udemy has a couple good classes. Udemy 3D printing class. Vladimir. About designing a spoon.
- Main takeaway for Stephen - how to use the software to get the end result. Workflow of designing. Not super intuitive to get there.
- After a couple Udemy courses - designed a hose adapter
- Stephen has a 3D printer at work. But never uses the one at work - as they have no reservation time. Just the inconvenience when people are already using the 3D printer.
- Home machine: convenience of using it.
- Maker Nexus - group that tried to fill in after TechShop folded.
