Hello all, this is your friendly reminder that our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 6th from 7 to 9 PM.  Doors open around 6:45 PM, we recommend you arrive early to facilitate starting on time.  

At August’s meeting, Maurizio Laudisa will be sharing photos and impressions of his May visit to some of Japan’s great hobby shops. This presentation is a follow up to last month’s report on the 2025 Shizuoka Hobby Show by Soo Gane and Ming.  If you enjoy travel, Japan should be on your list for many reasons, like great food, wonderful shopping, an amazing rail transportation system, history, nature, and of course a substantial presence of our hobby that is hard to match anywhere else in the world.

MODEL CLINIC

We have received two submissions for the Model Clinic, thank you!  We would like to receive a few more, so that once we have received at least three, we can schedule a live clinic session at an upcoming meeting.  We had given a July deadline for submissions, however, feel free to email us anytime with photos and descriptions of any work you’d like to be considered.  

MIGHTY 8K 3D PRINTER FOR SALE WITH CURING / WASHING STATION

After some serious consideration, Harvey Low has decided to sell his Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K 3D Resin Printer and Curing/Washing Station set. The printer is still new (less than 10 prints) and only purchased two years ago directly from Phrozen in Mississauga. This machine has one of the largest plates on the market, with ultra-fine 8k resolution, and retails in Canada for $650. The included Elegoo Curing and Wash Station retail for about $200. A leather cover (to prevent light seeping through while printing) and some resin are also included, an additional ~$100 value. Harvey’s asking price is a firm $650, all sales final. Buyer picks up or he can meet you somewhere convenient in the GTA.

If interested, please contact Harvey directly at lowharvey@hotmail.com.
