Happy February Hackers!

If you have an affinity for fixing or maintaining 3D printers, or just wanted to see the innards of one and didn't want to take your own apart, our friends at the UF Marston Science Library Makerspace are bringing out some of their old and broken printers, with the goal of getting a few of them back up. Come visit this Saturday on the UF Campus at Marston Library between 5pm and 9pm to take a look.
