There’s something amazing happening at Jigsaw every day. Today, we captured some pics of Jigsaw Member Tamara Clammer’s R&D process for a Concord International Elementary School project.
Tamara is developing headdresses for Concord’s Spring production of Swan Lake.
Looks fantastic!

Today is Pi Day everyone! Jigsaw celebrated in style thanks to Monica’s famous Pi Pies!
Member Pat also brought in celebratory Pi fruits and Pi ice creams.
In all the fun, we noticed that one of Pat’s fruits laid across one of Monnica’s pies along the diameter nicely, and we decided to do a little measuring. We found that the pie’s circumference was exactly 22 centimeters, and the fruit was just over 7 centimeters. For some irrational reason, we can’t seem to exactly measure the fruit, but Michael’s promised to bring in a higher precision calliper which might do the trick. In the mean time, here’s where we’re at so far with our equation:

Jigsaw Renaissance was fairly buzzing with activity this afternoon. Ben & co. were feverishly preparing for this evening’s screening of a rough cut of Gamers. There was some cross-pollination going on between Team Elcano and RaaSIO. Scott was getting yet another 3D printer up and running. And those are just the folks I managed to take pictures of.

Also, there were circuit board cookies! Don’t miss the next meetup.

Monica is busy making circuit board cookies for tonight’s Arduino meetup.
They’re so realistic!

Space is limited for Scott’s inaugural 3D printer workshop on Saturday. Over the course of five hours, you will build your very own 3D printer. Email Scott for more information and to reserve your spot. Don’t worry, there will be other workshops if you can’t get in this time.
In the video below, you can see one of Scott’s printers printing parts for the printers that will be built during the workshop. Crazy!

New Jigsaw desk member Scott is a 3D printing enthusiast. He brought in practically all the components of a Prusa printer, shown here laid out on his desk. Note in particular the extra-powerful NEMA 17 stepper motors, the Smoothie controller board, and the roll of <hushed tone>nylon 618</hushed tone>. (Oooooh.)
If none of that made any sense to you, come down and let Scott tell you all about it. He’ll be assembling those pieces into a working 3D printer, letting anyone who’s interested watch. He’ll also be leading workshops in which people will build their own printers and controller boards. Exciting stuff! Stay tuned for details.
