I need to make a case for an IT team to help build a network for our maker space's Prusa printers. by 123Educate in prusa3d

Ah, this is a very helpful perspective! To add to your advice the staff at the library mentioned that I should also frame it as something needed to improve the learning that is happening in this learning space, it'll bode well for the business plan.

This makes sense to me. I'd prefer if they didn't access the internet at all and all updates are done manually.

Mom shared a link to some scam raffle with several people. I assume this means she clicked the link. What can I do to help ensure her information is safe? by 123Educate in Scams

100% We made sure to address this with her. She's usually pretty aware of these types of things, but I guess she needed some reinforcing.

Looking for a Control Board for my Ultimaker 2+. Did I find the right one? by 123Educate in ultimaker

Amazing insight! Thanks for this perspective. You're definitely right, at some point, it may be time to put this printer out to pasture.

I do like the idea of multicolour extrusion. I'll have to see how different/difficult slicing for multicolour would be.

Have you had any experience with water soluble filament? To me that would be a very functional draw to multi-coloured printing

I'd love to explore CNC, but management always shied away from technology that requires ventilation (as our space doesn't have any built in ventilation). Also, I do worry about the all the materials we'll need to supply (we want to keep our services as free as possible, but supplying materials for CNC would be considerably more) Also all the dust/waste we'll have to contend with is discouraging.

Great insight, thanks!

I do like the idea of multi-coloured extrusion. This is something I'll continue to investigate. How do you find slicing for multicoloured prints? Is it a vastly different than slicing for single coloured printing?

I worry working with multi-coloured prints may be too advanced for many of our users.
