  • 3D printer (eg, could show large print jobs in progress)

Things to do

• Karl is going to contact ShopBot for a loaner machine
• Check availability of semi-permanent displays at the museum
• Become better connected with Museum
  • keep informed of future plans, so we can contribute stuff that fits in to future exhibition plans
  • maybe we can contribute to ongoing technical work
