Our Objet Eden 333 3D printer has been installed. We had some snafus with a busted print head, and the system only works with Windows XP 32-bit, but it's nearly ready for use.
Start dreaming Tulsa...then design your ideas and come print them at Fab Lab Tulsa!
While all of our other computers and equipment can be used freely, our 3D printer will require some additional cost considerations. Resin is expensive, and its not geared for mass production. We don't know what it'll cost yet but we're working out an arrangement for users.
Maybe users can print something small for free, while larger designs will be priced at cost (plus a nominal handling fee)? We're not sure yet, but feel free to offer your comments. We'll figure it out.

More on creativity + ShopBot + 3D Printer
The website for Tulsa's Creativity Summit was just launched here. Register now. Looks to be a fun day hosted at Circle Cinema.
So Fab Lab Tulsa's shopbot is up and running now. It took a few days longer than expected because the electrician who helped do the renovation was rather busy. All that said, it's operational. We're just squaring the machine and getting it set-up.
We're really lucky...who knew there was Shopbot user community in Tulsa, OK? I didn't. It turns out there are quite a few local users, one of whom is already developing beginning, intermediate and advanced classes for us. His name is Dana Swift...when you meet him thank him for his help.
Lastly, our Objet 3D Printer arrived yesterday. It's still in the crate because Objet is really strict about the set-up. That should be done next week. It's a pretty sweet piece of equipment and I'm exciting to begin using it. By the way, I've been remiss...I need to recognize Engatech...they're a local engineering consulting firm who also sells Objet printers. They made an amazing contribution by arranging for the donation of our 3D Printer! Isn't that awesome?! Special thanks to Clay Slaton and his team.
