I was just informed by a friendly Noisebridge member that they are shifting the space around and expanding it. It is sort of taking over the side corner and leaking out the way that Manhattan's china town is eating up little italy. There are no hard feelings and it is all good vibes. | ||

_I'm going to start out with a rough draft, linking existing highly excellent existing Noisebridge wiki pages that already exist. I was actually pretty surprised at how extensive and friendly some of the 3D printing pages were--the only thing is they just aren't all consolidated in one place -- [[User:Romyilano|Romyilano]] | _I'm going to start out with a rough draft, linking existing highly excellent existing Noisebridge wiki pages that already exist.

Really one of the friendliest! I'm not sure what's going on because the last update from May 2013 says that the Makerbot is no longer working but we have seen people use it. It's also confusing because there is more than one MakerBot 3D printer... I think ther eare fouro f them, one of them is labelled Peter K Suk so I'm worried about messing with it because it might belong to someone. | |||

This is an easy to use 3D printer. They are from China and have been extremely aggressive about hiring people from the hacker community to evangelize, but I haven't seen people be very open about this. They have good firmware, it is produced by elite university students. They are not part of the open source community. | This is an easy to use 3D printer.

* Update june 2013 - I think this thing is broken. There is a message not to mess with it. Do not mess with the UP! printer or its boyfriend will come back and whup your ass! | * Update june 2013 - I think this thing is broken. There is a message not to mess with it.

* I do not feel like doing free documentation for a private company that is giving checks to hackers. if someone is into that you can do it. | |||

You don't have to actually work with the 3D printers at noisebridge to get started. A big mistake a lot of beginners do that I see is getting overly obsessed with learning the CAD 3D software and then giving up. I recommend doing that stuff at home and then focusing on doing the 3D printing hardware when you are the space. | You don't have to actually work with the 3D printers at noisebridge to get started.

The MakerBot people put up some great software so I'm lifting a lot of the text directly off there. | |||

3D printers need drivers. Think of the printer driver that you download and use to print on your laser printer or inkjet printer. If only you could get software drivers for online dates but--whoops that was unprofessional. | 3D printers need drivers.

Luckily the open source community has provided many great 3D printer drivers. These are also called firmware. | |||

* Full disclosure: I am thinking about making a 3D printing guide printed as a zine or book. This could possibly be offered as a tangible object so that people could give donations to Noisebridge or sudoRoom but I haven't fleshed out the details yet. | * Full disclosure: I am thinking about making a 3D printing guide printed as a zine or book.
