Hello all
I'm In the process of finding some good forums to join. My goal is to increase my knowledge base learn some new tricks and hopefully help out where I can. A good chunk of my job is 3d printing, maintaining our printers, keeping stock of printer material and even more so 3d design based in Creo. I also have Solidworks and Inventor, but they are rarely used. Also at my disposal is a ScanShark, 4 foot 3d scanner with Polyworks as the post processing software. That too is unfortunately rarely utilized due to lack of calibration and the need of a parametric model to import into Creo.

I have a Connex 500 (polyjet) and a Dimension 1200es (FDM).


My imitate goal is to be pointed in a good direction for a DIY printer, open source, free, with SLT files. I want to be able to build most of the parts from the printers I have and utilize a Raspberry Pi.

I just quickly glanced at a few posts and saw mention of what i'm looking for. But i wanted to say hi and if anyone has a particular post they think i should look at that would be great.
