# 3D Fuel September Meetup - Meeting Announcement
## Email Subject Line
Join Us in September: 3D Printing Meetup + Practi"FALL" Prints Challenge!
---
## Email Body
Hey everyone!
Join us for the **September 3D Printing Meetup**.
For more information about the meetup and community events, visit [www.fargo3d.com](https://www.fargo3d.com)
**Date: Wednesday, September 16th, 2026**
**Time: 6:00 - 8:00 PM**
**Location**: West Fargo Public Library, 215 Third St. E., West Fargo, ND 58078
Come join us to catch the latest industry news updates from John and share your practical 3D prints!
### September Challenge: Practi"FALL" Prints
As we head into fall, it is time to show off the practical side of 3D printing! Bring in a functional print that solves a problem, repairs something broken, or makes everyday tasks easier.
**Challenge Requirements:**
- Bring your **practical/functional print** (anything from a simple door stop, hook, or clip to a complex bottle/can opener, tool jig, or custom bracket).
- Be ready to share what problem it solves, how you use it, and what slicer/material choices you made (infill, perimeters, material strength)!
Whether you designed it yourself or found a great model on Printables/MakerWorld/Thangs, we want to see how you use 3D printing to fix real-world problems.
See you there!
