Here’s the pictures from the latest meeting.
We began the build starting at around 7:30pm and ending at 9pm. We’ll be meeting again on the 12th March for a long day of working on the project and hopefully complete it then! Jean-Marc will be at the Maker Faire in Newcastle and we’re intending to connect up with him there via Skype or some such so that we can track our progress.
Things we’ve learnt so far are that you will need super-glue and extra screws!
The meeting on the 12th is for people who attended our last meeting only (otherwise it might get a bit crowded and confusing) however, we will be having an open hour afterwards 4-5pm so if anyone would like to come in to see it printing or ask about the build they’d be more than welcome.
