December 11th, 2025 – “Ashley’s Crash Course to 3D Printing (Faster)”

Written by  on December 10, 2025

Hello Hackers!

This month we are joined again by Ashley Gay who will be presenting her talk “Ashley’s Crash Course to 3D Printing (Faster)”:

Have you ever considered getting a 3d printer? Have you ever been bored waiting for a 3d print to finish? Well, this talk will cover a variety of 3d printing related topics, including practical 3d printing/basics, impractical 3d printing (going really fast), alternative uses of a 3d printer (including cooking), PCB assembly, and more. This talk will also cover both ways I managed to have my 3d printer on fire, and how not to make the same mistakes.

Bio: Ashley is a cybersecurity professional specializing in hardware, reverse engineering, and cyber operations, with a wide variety of interests (aka a massive nerd). She is also a federally certified drone pilot. “If you can break things, you can also almost break things, and I think that’s neat”

Meeting will be on Discord. If you need an invite, look no further.

Talk starts at 6:12 PM U.S. Central, but feel free to hop in early and chat.
