Hardware Hacks: 3D Printing Secrets Pt. 2

​​Looking for a space to work on your hardware project? Searching for the right tools, people, and new ideas?

​​​​Hosted by Santiago Del Solar at Akatos, 7:00 PM, with plenty of camaraderie.

​This Monday:

​He’ll teach you everything you need to get started with 3D printing, from using a 3D printer and the software to finding quality 3D files online. It’s one of the best ways to bring your ideas to life for art, engineering, and creative projects.

​​He’ll walk you through his personal workflow (refined over 8 years) and a few practical tricks he’s picked up along the way. At the end, you’ll print a 3D file of your choice on any of our five machines at Akatos.

​​See you there! :)
