Title: Glad to join the club!
Post by: winnie9200 on January 17, 2023, 08:28:11 pm: Hi everyone,

My name is Winston and I'm an Engineering student at Georgia Tech. I attended my first meeting this past Saturday and it was a pleasure meeting everyone in person! I own a white 88 GT which is back in NJ but down here I have an 85 Vette as well which needs a lot of work if any of you guys are vette guys and willing to provide assistance. I make the gated shift plates and some custom shift knobs that you may have seen on Facebook and I've been working on carbon fiber scoops for the car, as well as some other interesting projects. I have access to a lot of complex machinery including 3D printers, water jets, and CNC machines so if I have the time and there is interest, I might be able to create some pretty interesting stuff. Thanks for the warm welcome to the club!

Winston,
I recently purchased a 3D printer, some "bed mats"(?), and a roll of PLA filament. (All still in packages.)
I have some ideas for some pieces I'd like to print. Theoretically, the printer I purchased is quite sufficient for the task.
This one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165435268504
Was highly recommended as an "intro" printer, by some people who I would trust to know. :D
Obviously, I need to print some test pieces (thingiverse has lots of stuff) in order to figure out the printing aspect, but other than that, I have no idea how to construct/design the pieces.
There are lots of 3D CAD programs out there, but I'm clueless.
Any advice will be welcomed.
