3D Printing Meetup Topic: Advanced Slicer Features at HartSmart Products in Urbandale, IA on Monday, July 20, 2026.
Last updated Jun 27, 2026Report incorrect info
3D printing slicer programs used to do just that--slice a model into layers and tell the printer how to produce each of those slices to make a part. But modern slicers have gone waaaay beyond that now. Many have super sophisticated features that most users either don't know about, or don't know how to use them. So let's discuss it and figure out as a group which features are interesting, which ones are still a bit too "beta" and how to take advantage of what these new slicers are capable of. Also for our July meetup, our Print-of-the-Month is "Gears!" As a fan of mechanical systems, I love different gear mechanisms, so printing out interesting gear systems is super cool. Find your favorite gear models and print them out to show off at our meetup! Need some inspiration? Here's a great place to start: https://www.printables.com/search/collections?q=gears Meetup Address for in-person attendees is: HartSmart Products 9850 Douglas Ave. Suite 200 Urbandale, IA 50322
