The next part of the Zoom meeting will be a presentation by Phillip Burnside of determining the best temperatures for 3D printing materials by using a Temperature Tree.  Not all 3D materials are the same.

​

We will have the Zoom open before 6 pm and our introductions and program will start at 6:00 pm. New to Zoom? never fear we have helped a lot of people get up and running before the Meeting. That is one of the reasons we open up early. "Try it, you will like it." 

 

We also have time for updates and your project progress reports. What is on your workbench, Any new ideas or methods? Unsuccessful project information is also welcome for the benefit of all the rest of us. Pictures to share? Also allowed.

 

Future events: The CID plans to continue with monthly Zoom events and an in person event once a month

Additional Information:         

1. CID Annual Membership Meeting

2. Using the Temperature Tree to determine the best temperatures for 3D printing materials by Phillip Burnside.

3. Our Zoom Track Talk gatherings are not recorded or shared.  Respecting the privacy of members please do not make other arrangements to record Track Talk.  If we do have a special segment of value for repeating we will let everyone know when recording.

4. If another family member is using your computer, you can always join by phone but you will not see the screens.  Most of us use the computer microphone and speaker.  A headset and separate microphone are better for presentations. Computers work better than cell phones. 

Please do the following before/during the meeting:

1.  Please keep your introduction short:  Name, Location, Scale.  We have more people and we want to get to the program.  Your comments are always welcome during show and tell.

2. Please update your on screen name to include your first and last name and location, e.g. Eric Peterson Carmel, IN, O scale 2 rail        

3. Please mute your computer when not talking.  Your space bar will also open your microphone when held down.  Zoom will mute you when you join the meeting.  As the host, I will mute your connection if there is background sound interrupting the Zoom Conference.

4. Be sure to open your chat window, as links and other important information will be shared through that window. You can also type in questions here to be answered by the presenters.
