How Would You Slice That? Backpack Printers and More with Mitch Cerroni
Channel: TGAW
Date: 2024-04-03

Our guest in this episode, Mitch Cerroni, has some impressive day job creds. He's worked on automation systems. He's traveled internationally to install and repair the likes of CNC routers and laser cutters. He's taught 3D printing for STEM programs, libraries, and schools. In addition to all that, you may have seen him on BattleBots! He was the "Electronics Wizard" for the Team XD and the BattleBot "Sub-Zero". If you have been to any of the RepRap Fests or perhaps Bay Area Maker Faire you may have seen him sporting one of his trusty backup printers (yes, plural!).

About How Would You Slice That?
-=-=-
"How Would You Slice That?" is a 3D printing talk show combined with slicing strategies, tips, and tours. Episodes will air live on YouTube and Twitch on Prime Tuesdays (a.k.a. Tuesdays that are Prime Numbers). Each episode, we'll be joined by a guest from the 3D Printing Community. We'll get to know them better and hear about their latest projects. Then each episode we'll pull up a model and talk about how we would go about slicing it for 3D printing. Through those discussions, we may get exposed to different slicers, different features, different settings, or maybe just a different way to think about approaching a model.

Community participation is encouraged! If you would like to suggest a 3D model for a future episode or sign up to be a guest, please visit https://howwouldyouslicethat.com.
