November 3D Printing Meetup on Nov 18th: AI CAD Follow-Up + Thanksgiving Table & Kitchen Prints!
Email body
Hey everyone!
Thanks to everyone who came out to our October meetup and brought objects to test out the photo-to-CAD workflow. We are back on our regular third-Wednesday schedule for November.
You can always check the schedule and past challenge details at www.fargo3d.com.
Date: Wednesday, November 18th, 2026
Time: 6:00 to 8:00 PM
Location: West Fargo Public Library, 215 Third St. E., West Fargo, ND 58078
John will kick things off with industry news, followed by show and tell, a second round of building CAD with AI, and judging for our November print challenge.
Special session: Building CAD with AI follow-up
Last month we started testing an AI agent skill that generates 3D models from photos. We learned a lot about what works well and what trips it up, so we are continuing the experiment this month.
- If you printed a model generated during the October session, bring the physical print and the original object so we can compare them side by side.
- If you missed last month or have another broken part, bracket, or household item you want to model, bring it along and we will run it through the updated workflow.
November challenge: Thanksgiving & fall table prints
With Thanksgiving the following week, our November challenge focuses on the kitchen and the dinner table. Bring a print that helps with cooking, serving, or decorating for the holiday meal.
Ideas for entries:
- Table decor. Napkin rings, place card holders, autumn centerpieces, or candle holders.
- Kitchen and serving tools. Pie crust shields, cookie cutters, measuring scoops, utensil holders, coasters, or trivet stands.
- Any model works. You can design your own part from scratch, use the AI CAD tools, or print a community file from Printables, MakerWorld, or Thangs.
Voting and prizes
- Everyone at the meetup gets a vote for their favorite entry based on usefulness, print quality, and how well it fits the Thanksgiving theme.
- The winner takes home a free spool of filament.
See you on Wednesday, November 18th at 6:00 PM!
