Zortrax and the workshop building 3D printer

   I was used to use 3D printer in France, but only on cheap printer like Prusa i3, cartesian printer or microdelta from Emotiontech... But when i arrive in this makerspace they had only one 3D printer an Zortrax m200... Professional look all in black steel... and ZORTRAX !!! Sound like the name of a dragon in Dungeon & Dragons roleplaying games.
   The fact is the machine is sold with an software Z-suite the software is not realy open you don't have choice for many settings but it's working and availalble in English. Oh ! yeah ! The company is Polish like the menu on the machine not so easy for the beginning but an good way for catch some new polish words. Finally it's easy, also for not polish speaker so it's good. the bad point it's there is only ABS for print (ABS is from petrol so... not so good) i will encourage them to buy some PLA better to everyone and easy to print.

   Last weekend i have also particpating to an workshop animate by Cyryl Sochacki for build our own 3D printer under 250€ you can find the tutorial on internet, the name of printer it's GIMLI XL.
   Michal was my partner for this workshop all in polish hopefuly i found the english tutorial on internet for helping us during the bulding.
   2 days of building and it was not so easy because sunday morning there was no electricity in all the village, so the first task was to find an generator and connect it for have some lights and electricity for soldering machine or computer.
