Make your own custom, one-of-a-kind 3D printer filament!

Are you interested? All you have to do is complete your purchase here. Flying in? PDX Airport is a short drive away. Also, Heathman Lodge (https://www.heathmanlodge.com/) is one of many wonderful, local lodging options.



We're limiting the group size and compressing the schedule a bit to allow for more socializing with the Proto-pasta team and attendees after filament-making.

Here's a tentative schedule:

9:00 - Arrive at Protoplant in Vancouver, WA - coffee and tea provided plus donuts from local favorite Donut Nook

9:00 - 9:30 - Introduction and tour of Protoplant

9:30 - 11:30 - Design and make a PLA filament - choose a base and color of choice - everyone gets a spool of their filament to take home!

11:30 - 12:00 - Break for lunch - with great local pizza from Pied Piper

12:00 - 14:00 - Duplicate, redesign, or design and make a new PLA filament - your choice - another spool for you!

14:00 - 14:30 - Wrap up. Shop for Pasta.

14:30 - 16:30 - Afternoon social - talk shop & reflect on the day with the Proto-pasta team & other attendees without the distraction of making filament.
