Toledo Tech Events

See the ULTIMATE Maker Machine and meet the local inventor behind it. This machine does it all- 3D printing, CNC routing, laser engraving, and digitizing.

Piranha Fx is the Make Anything machine: carve, laser engrave and 3D print - all with one easy-to-use machine and user interface. By Tim Owens.

His Kickstarter campaign made its funding by Day 3.

Event Location: BiG Fab Lab in The Woodland Mall, between the movie theater and the old Steve & Barry's (East wing). Park in the SE lot, enter the SE door, and walk straight through the atrium.

3D Scanning Lunch & Learn: 3/19, 11:30AM to 1:30PM. $5 Registration. Call the BiG Fab Lab at 419-971-4244 to RSVP.

Join us at BiG Fab Labs to check out this makerspace facility as it continues to grow and develop.

The BiG Fab Lab in BG hosts the Arduino meetup every 4th Thursday.

Let's talk about some of the code that was written. More Hydroponic discussion depending on progress other groups have made. Free HC-SR501 for motion detectors. John will show us some of the work he as done on the internet enabled project he has been working on. Bring your laptops and arduinos if you want to follow along on how the motion detector is coded.

This meetup group will absorb the previously established group called "Bowling Green & Toledo Arduino & Embedded Computers Meetup".
