Well, we now have our own forum, now time to get people here. If you are browsing through and are from the OKC area, (Or even Oklahoma for that matter) go ahead and say hello. I'm looking forward to getting some RepRaps here locally. - Matthew --KE5AFU https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,18119#msg-18119 Sat, 18 Apr 2026 15:32:28 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,70465#msg-70465 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,70465#msg-70465 here for more info.

I'm also going to need access to an accurate drill press, as I've got some hole saws to notch pipe with.

O, and I designed a cable tie today. No clue if it works but it should be printable!]]> Lawrence Kincheloe Oklahoma City RepRap User Group Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:37:40 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,40195#msg-40195 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,40195#msg-40195

The meeting was a success and notes were taken and emailed by Lawrence.
If anyone didn't get the e-mail with the meeting notes, please send either myself or Lawrence an email and we will get your address added to the list.

Ok, so on to the point of this post,

While our first meeting boasted a large turnout, the second did not fare as well. Obviously with only two meetings under our belt it is difficult to establish a trend, however I would like to see larger numbers (or at least even) in the next meeting.

It will be held on 4.10.2010 time and place TBA. I believe we are shooting for a morning meeting again if that works for everyone.

Also in this next meeting I would like to propose either a workshop, or show and tell of projects, or something along those lines to add to the itinerary.

Lawrence demonstrated a friction welding technique at our last meeting that could prove quite useful for quick fixes and rapid prototyping.

While the RepRap project has certainly drawn interest from many parties, the fact remains that until we have more then one operating unit there is little point in sitting around discussing the merits or techniques of how it runs. I believe that if we inject other activities into these meetings it will help draw others and as the RepRaps multiply then we should start seeing them (and their creations) at the meetings as well.

Well that's my $0.02

I am looking at Sat the 13th at ? time.
Does that work or do we need a different date?

Chime in...]]> KE5AFU Oklahoma City RepRap User Group Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:22:45 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,36773#msg-36773 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,36773#msg-36773
-We have a plan for solving the tractable problem of building and distributing Mendel parts which fulfills the needs of the community.

-We overcame the distance issue with hacker spaces by creating a community that can ask for specific help with problems and resources.

-We ignited lots of good discussion which should help add value to the community.

If we keep up the community atmosphere, we could seed the Oklahoma area with cheap-ish $500 dollar Mendel kits and get more people the tools they need to expand this community. I would really like to see everyone who came today with a Mendel within the next three months.

On top of that, a group that is doing things, attracts more people which will make the prospects of having vibrant hacker spaces around Oklahoma possible.

If anyone is interested in discussing the pro's and con's of different organizational arrangements, I have lots of input, ideas, and examples.]]> Lawrence Kincheloe Oklahoma City RepRap User Group Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:20:27 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,36770#msg-36770 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,36770#msg-36770 KrashKing405 Oklahoma City RepRap User Group Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:04:25 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,36750#msg-36750 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?119,18119,36750#msg-36750
So, I have a sign saying Rep Rap and have long hair, wearing a blue tee-shirt.

Hope this helps,

If there are no objections...

The first meeting of the Oklahoma RepRap interest group will convene February the 20th, which is a Saturday, at Java Dave's which is located at 10 Northeast 10th Street, Oklahoma City.

We'll meet for at least three hours from 2:00pm - 5:00pm (please note if this time doesn't work).

Agenda:

• Meet and Greet like minded individuals
• Identify the needs of the community. Be it time, motivation, or resources.
• List resources and connect people together who can help each other.
• Decide what as a group we could accomplish to best meet the needs of our nascent RepRap community.
• Determine the next meeting time.

The agenda is just a list of things I feel need to happen for me to consider this upcoming meeting successful. Add things you want to see happen.

Also, if you want to bring samples of the things you build, cool pictures of cnc machines you own, repstraps/repraps, or other toys, do show and tell about them!

Cheers!
