DC404 Hybrid Meeting – February 21st

Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 by narknet

Saturday February 21st is your DC404 hybrid meeting

.

All ages/skill levels welcome. No dues, feel free to bring new friends.

DC404 is experimenting with running hybrid meetings, so like all hacking, we expect issues, but we will improvise, adapt, and overcome.

Our in person meeting is at Manual’s Tavern and our online meeting is via Big Blue Button.

The meeting speaker (when we have one) will be streamed to both the in person and online meetings.

.

Stephen Kraus (CommieGIR) and Wesley (CCrashZer0) will be presenting: 3D Printing and CAD

.

Stephen Kraus – Security Engineer, Automotive Tinkerer and Engineer, and Physics enthusiast who designs and prints replacement auto parts for the Audi Quattros.

Stephen has been doing 3D printing for 15 years from the original Makerbots to modern Creality K2 and Bambu P1 series 3D printers.

.

Wesley (CCrashZer0), is a cybersecurity enthusiast, ethical hacker, mentor, and maker. His passions run deep and wide, whether he’s diving into security research, developing scripts, or exploring the world of 3D printing. Wesley loves getting down into the nitty-gritty of a new challenge.

Wesley is always on a mission to expand his knowledge and sharpen his skills. You’ll often find Wesley in his lab, solving challenges on platforms like TryHackMe and HackTheBox — usually with a podcast playing in the background. But just as easily, you might catch Wesley jamming to music while fine-tuning a 3D printer.

.

We will have time after the presentation for people to share what they are working on. Your project doesn’t have to be complete and slides are not required (like show-n-tell).

.

The in person meeting and online meeting spaces will open at 13:00 on Saturday so that people will have time to connect and work out any technical issues.

The meeting will start at 14:00.

DC404 meets in person at Manuel’s Tavern in either the First Level room or The Eagle’s Nest. Free parking is behind Manuel’s and across North Highland, next to the laundromat.
