3D printers bestaan al jaren. Tot voorkort waren het dure apparaten, die
slechts voor grote bedrijven betaalbaar waren. Niet iets waarmee een
kunstenaar, ontwerper of uitvinder zelfstandig aan de slag kan. Dankzij
de ontwikkeling van Open Source hardware is dat aan het veranderen.
Online Communities werken aan de ontwikkeling van Do-It-Yourself
alternatieven.

Inmiddels is er een bouwpakket 3D printer op de markt voor 750 euro en
kan je op internet diverse ontwerpen vinden die je zelf kan nabouwen.
Besturings-software, voorheen vaak nog duurder dan de printer zelf, is
gratis beschikbaar op internet.

In deze workshop vertel ik over mijn eigen ervaringen met de bouw van 3D
printers. Ik laat zien wat er nu aan software en hardware beschikbaar is
en waar we aan werken.

Computer Hardware Restoration

command line workshop

flaier

Tuesday 16 March, 19:00 until late at the present SLUG headquarters. If this is evicted then we can fall-back and meet in the Ruysdaelstraat squat.

The evening will start slow with a presentation of command line basics (beamer aided and all).  After the introduction, the computer terminal will be released to the public for a “turn-based showcase” (breakdance style). Everyone is encouraged to demonstrate their favourite command line techniques.
