        <title>Introductions</title>
        <description> Who is interested in a RepRap Users Group in the Monterey Bay area? Please introduce yourself here. :)

My name is Jim.  I live in northern Monterey county, near Watsonville.  I&#039;m a software engineer with way too many years of experience.  I&#039;m still researching different designs, but will probably build a Prusa variant.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Looks like I'm a little late to the party! In case there's anyone still here, I'm a semi-retired electrical engineer in Pacific Grove.  My first/current printer was a Marlin-based DeltaMaker, but I'm currently building a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/voroncorexy" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">Voron CoreXY</a> that I plan to use with the Duet WiFi I've had sitting around for the last few months... <br />
<br />
I'd say on the 3D printing skill scale I'm on the intermediate side - thought I had it all figured out for most of last year then couldn't get a decent print for the last few months after changing my extruded to an E3D Lite6.  Ah, hubris!  All good now.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I'm here and ready for printing my good sir!!! I've been looking everywhere for a hack space because I do not have my own desktop 3-D printer yet and I'm really interested in the technology... <br />
I like to fly remote control drones and they require a lot of plastic parts and a lot of the time they're pretty expensive. <br />
I have a bunch of great ideas, not just drone stuff.<br />
I'm really into animals and I have a fantastic idea for a dog harness that will require a couple of plastic parts.<br />
I am hoping to get my own machine but I would love to meet up with some folks that already do this.<br />
Email me, I'm Bryan :)<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Greetings from PG (work in Santa Cruz)<br />
Bought a Printrbot at the Maker Faire that I have given up on due to bad/missing/wrong parts and no customer service. Looking to build/buy a Mendel. My main interest is in prototyping a number of projects as well as building replacement parts for my day job. I'd be interested in a Rug. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi All:<br />
<br />
I live in Bonny Doon, I'm currently building a CNC router to do PCBs based on parts salvaged from an HP scanner and various printers plus parts I design and make myself for the project.  I have spent a lot of time reading and studying about different RepRap designs and have decided to try and build a modified aluminum frame Mendel after I finish my router.  I would be very interested in meeting up with other RepRap enthusiast !<br />
<br />
I agree that it would be great to start a local groupe, count me in also !]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi All:<br />
<br />
I am a Reprap user that has been lurking around the boards for a few years. My name is John Andberg, and I live by UCSC. I built a Techzone kit, and then in frustration designed and built my own Mendel. It is listed under "Simplified Ball Bearing Mendel" in the wiki.<br />
<br />
I am currently upgrading electronics from gen 3 to something more modern, and duplicating printers. A recent project I have yet to to post is a 35K RPM drill press for PCBs. Next up I start on a travel size design Mendel and something along a Mendel 90 machine. Keeps me off the streets....<br />
<br />
It would be great to start a local group. Count me in.<br />
