This Saturday evening, the 3DEA Popup at the Eventi hotel will be inviting folks from a number of area fablab and makerspaces to share about the services and facilities they offer for makers interested in exploring 3D. Sign up here for this free talk:

Saturday December 1, hack out, print up, and go inside New York City’s fabrication revolution at the 3DEA Fab Lab. We’ve brought together cutting-edge innovators from the School of Visual Arts’ Fine Art and Visual Futures Labs, New York College of Technology, Parsons The New School For Design, Greenpoint-based Alpha One Labs, ModeLab, 3dx Max User Group and NYC Makery . Interested in 3D printing, scanning, haptic control, laser-cutting, wood milling and more? Hear from experts like Parsons’ Mo Shahadat, SVA’s Erik Guzman and Carlos Cruz, City Tech’s Brian Timothy Ringley. There’s no better place to meet likeminded inventors and makers and uncover what New York City schools and labs have to offer. Whether you’re interested in user experience and interfaces, the subtleties of Rhino, mechanical engineering or parametric modeling, we’ve got you covered.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has thrilled us at Adafruit with its passion and dedication to making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed that our community integrating electronics projects into 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you take considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless EL Wire and LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you have a cool project you’ve made that joins the traditions of 3D printing and electronics, be sure to send it in to be featured here!
