At the NESIT Makerspace (in lovely downtown Meriden, CT in the 290 Pratt St. Building) there’s a Zeus 3D Printer. As it’s not always obvious how to use it Dave R. has created a video on the subject.
We’ve also added the video to a section of the website we’re entitling Hardware at the NESIT Makerspace And How to Use It.
NESIT is holding our bi-weekly open house. Stop by and check out what everyone’s working on. Or just say Hi!

Tickets are free and can be acquired through the fair’s Event Brite page.
