September Meeting: 3D Printing Basics – One Way to Get Started

The next meeting of the Amateur Radio Experimenter’s Group will be held this coming Friday, September 17th, starting at 7.45pm ACST. We will be featuring a presentation by Scott Testi VK5TST who will talk about 3D Printing Basics – One Way to Get Started.


The brief presentation will provide an introduction to filament based 3D printing. While the technology is large, and there are many ways to use and enjoy it, this is based on one person’s experiences. I approached 3D printing as getting a new tool to help with other hobbies, rather than my hobby being build and development of the printer.

The presentation will discuss the technology, the process, equipment (software, printer and consumables) with some tips on how to get started. Not to mention a few lessons over a year or so of playing with the hobby.


The meeting will also be streamed for members via Zoom and we are hoping to also make it available via YouTube via the HamRadioDX Channel. (TBC)

The group meets at the Fulham Community Centre, off Phelps Court, Fulham. Doors open at 7.15pm. A general business meeting will be held after the presentation.

Visitors are most welcome!
