I am an versatile mechanical engineer based in eastern Slovakia interested in 3D printing technologies and product development, I would like to setup an virtual "3D printing club" (poetically called Pandora Moon Club) in order to bring 3D printing closer to people outside of the 3D printing domain. I can hep people without technical skills to understand the technology and facilitate the development of 3D printed objects.
In order to do that I have setup an Discord server:
https://discord.gg/pmmAnwyT
However I am in the beginning of the undertaking and wish to shape it according to the needs of the "club members". Feel free to reach out to me if you think you have such a need:
