I have had nothing but continuous questions at my day job, about all things 3D printing. What better way to help my co-workers understand and witness the printing experience than an actual devoted day!!
My idea is simply to showcase the basics, but I would love to hear anyone’s ideas for how best to represent 3Dhubs and 3D printing!
Cheers!
Hi Trevor! i would ask for permission from the overlords to bring in a printer so you can show it in action!
i find Trex Skull The T-Rex Skull by MakerBot - Thingiverse
or print in place platform jack to be impressive prints
This is a very good idea. I think I will do the same in my office. I hope you don’t mind if I borrow your idea.
The company bought a 3D printer and it sits in a cubicle near me. I will let everyone know that I will have a demo and answer questions on that day. I have a number of printed pieces and will make more for people to look at.
Since the company bought the supplies - I think I’ll build a bunch of Marvins to hand out. That or keychains with the company logo.
I think I will paper the cubicle with mini-posters about 3D printing and the different types of printers. And a poster or two about 3D hubs.
Let’s have a great 3D Printing Day - even though we work on that day.
Totally. My team here is highly supportive of this. Just have to setup a conference room.
Nice idea!! Can either of those be done within 8 hours @3dprintingguy?
the jack takes 4 hrs
and I usually use this smaller version of the trex that takes 45-75mins depends on the resolution i choose
Definitely! I hope you do too!
Thats a great one in person. I think I will either do lots of small prints to hand out, or the jack.
Sounds good! I want to do that jack, or small prints to hand out. Cheers!
demand usually outstrips supply if you are printing the small parts, make sure you preprint heaps before hand
Very true. Platform jack it is!
One small update, guys! The 3D Printing Day map is vroom-vroom ready http://maps.3dhubs.com/3dprintingday/index.html
Haha! Well beginnings are always rough, but most of the time they lead to great things Nice touch with 3D printing that thong with the company logo, loved it!
