Wednesday is the day for that.  'Care and Feeding of your makerbot' (
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Reprap_class ) was solid for June, and is
now an informal sporadic Wednesday get together for working with the cupcake
cnc's at Noisebridge.

I'll be there today starting after 7pm to work with engsoc and get some
CCCamp equipment, but perhaps other printistas and printmeisters such as
theruttmeister, Gian-Pablo, snailtsunami or Elijah will be around.

If you want to work on printing objects with Nutjob, the original
Noisebridge MBI cupcake cnc, or scotch, another MBI cupcake cnc in residence
at Noisebridge, then get a system with replicatorG on it (
http://replicat.org/ ) to start, and congregate on wednesdays between 6-9pm
(or later).



Other 3D diy printing resources:

AMT has cupcakes, clonedels, printistas, and printmeisters in residence:

The bay area reprap group has met at the Menlo Park techshop:

The SF techshop has some devices but no classes on 3D diy printing!

The Autodesk gallery includes some 3D printers (one was built by a
noisebridger) and Wednesday is the day to visit:
