    Also – MMPL’s 3D printing group drop-in

    All welcome – 1st Sunday of the month at 10am – Almonte Branch meeting room

    Greeting makers! A 3D print group has formed at Almonte branch. The purpose of the group is to bring together 3D print enthusiasts of all levels to collectively learn more about 3D printing. A group facilitator will provide some structure to the group, but the group will be able to define its own agenda. This is not a printing class: it’s a gathering of assorted like-minds where you learn by sharing. The session is scheduled for one hour but there is the option for follow up discussions afterwards. Come check out the group! Learn and share.

    The library’s printer is a Prusa i3 MK3 that uses PETG filament. FREE 3D printing at the library is funded by the Elizabeth Kelly Foundation www.ekellylibraryfoundation.caThe library’s Youtube channel has videos about choosing, using & maintaining a 3D printer, and click here for a few further resources.
