Maker 3-d hangout

   Today we will be covering the recent google hangout Maker hosted for their summer camp. Yes, you can attend a summer camp virtually this year through Maker and Google Plus. I took notice last year and many of the technical arts and crafts were beneficial for technical knowledge. I followed on the outskirts, as some of you are doing and found the comments after events encouraging.  

    There is a supportive Maker community that I hope to be a part of one day, when I get my writing chops back. This hangout was 3-d printer centric with 2 speaker and 2 interns. The star of the show was the actual 3-d print that you could view during the hangout. The speakers would reference it's project as they were given topics and fielding questions.   

     Software was the first topic and the preferred choice was 123D catch by Autodesk and takes 10-30 minutes link directly to Shapeway. Next tips for 3d photos were shared. This consisted of moving every 5 degrees in a 360 degree circle. You want some overlap so there are no gaps.
