 +As implr likes to say, this is now a true GEM (Gaming Electron Microscope) ([[https://social.hackerspace.pl/@implr/116590511058868823|credit]]).
 +==== Evaporation Coated 3D-Print (2026-04-25) ====

 +
 +We used out [[equipment:edwards-306:start|Edwards AUTO 306 Coating System]] to thermally evaporate aluminum onto a 3D-printed PETG part. It doesn't stick well, but it was a fun exercise to see what happens when a 3D-print is placed into a vacuum chamber.
