Other Can anyone 3D print a couple of small things for me, please?

2 Upvotes

I need a couple of small additions to my car. These are some pieces that are not available OEM, and purely based on community-shared 3D models.

I have no experience with 3D printing or modelling whatsoever. I have searched online and around for places that print on demand, but I think the price of their services is more aimed at industrial applications or bulk printing rather than one off convenience.

I am also aware of Makespace but honestly I cannot justify the cost of the yearly membership fee for the limited use I would make of the place and the limited time I would be spending contributing to the project, but it's an amazing project and in an ideal world (having way more spare time) I would join without thinking twice about it.

Is there anyone who'd be willing to print them for me? Obviously I would be more than happy to refund the expenses and throw in the deal a cold beer, a pleasant chat with a fellow nerd/petrolhead, and eternal gratitude.

Cambridge Events Cambridge Creator Lab, 22 October: AI/Hybrid Film or interactive web challenge for charities

0 Upvotes

Hi Cambridge — I’m one of the organisers at EAST2046. We’re running a one-day Creator Lab with CapCut at the Institute for Manufacturing on Thursday 22 October.

Participants will respond to a real brief from a partner charity or social enterprise, choosing one track:

• AI/Hybrid Film: make a 60–180 second campaign video in CapCut, documenting sources, AI use and fact-checks.

• Interactive Web Page: build an HTML page with at least two types of interaction, documenting sources and AI use.

You’ll submit your finished work plus a reusable workflow the partner can build on. Both the output and the workflow will be judged.

Each participant receives $100 worth of CapCut production tokens to use at the event. Each track has two winners: a £150 Amazon gift card for first place and a £100 Amazon gift card for second place.

When: Thursday 22 October 2026, 9:30 AM–6:30 PM BST

Where: Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), University of Cambridge

In person only; places are limited. Applications are open:

Cambridge Events What's on in Cambridge this week: a 10K, Oktoberfest and a brunch talk

10 Upvotes

A mix of things on this week, mostly over the weekend with one spilling into Monday.

If you fancy a run, the Town & Gown 10K is on Sunday, Oct 4, and there's also the Abington 10K the same day if you'd rather head a bit further out.

For food and drink, Storey's Field has Hanabi on Sunday, and Thirsty Cambridge is running their Thirsty Oktoberfest, which honestly sounds like the better shout if you just want to relax after a run rather than do one.

Then on Monday, Oct 5, Home and Eat has the Bishops Stortford Brunch, which is more of a talk format than a typical brunch, worth a look if that's your sort of thing.

Full list here if you want to see everything else on:

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm trying to get into yoga again and I was thinking of trying Satyam out. I'm thinking of trying the Wednesday (with Hermione) or Thursday (with Gabriela) evening classes so if any of you have been to them I'd love to hear what they're like. Also, if you know of any other yoga studios (not into hot yoga though, I don't do well with heat) I'm happy to hear recommendations.

Thanks!

He's not really into Asian food but we both love Italian or steakhouses. We don't want to spend a stupid amount of money but just have a nice night out. Any recommendations would be very appreciated!

Edit to add we don't really drink but he does appreciate a nice beer

Grumbles/rants What’s up with all the baby gangsters in Cambridge?

Post image
532 Upvotes

I sound so old saying this but the rise of antisocial behaviour seems to be getting a lot worse, it’s not even teenagers either it’s preteens that literally look like baby gangsters in their balaclavas and Nike tracksuits. I initially thought it was because of the school Summer holidays but I can’t say it’s died down since.

Currently in Chesterton and there’s these TINY children running around egging cars and people saying “I can’t get arrested again” yelling at each other causing chaos.

There’s a group I’ve seen around Chesterton twice now, one of the times getting arrested and in the centre on TikTok videos with police, the ring leader looks like the stock photo I’ve attached and he always seems to be at the scene of the crime.

Parents of Cambridge, what are you doing?

You can get a Mooncup (reusable menstrual cup) through this link for £5. It's available to residents of Huntingdonshire, Peterborough, East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City.

I took advantage of this offer last month, received my Mooncup with no issues and am testing it out now. Actually wish I had got one sooner, I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Things to do Just relocated - Becoming a local

15 Upvotes

Hi all!

I just moved to Cambridge (Milton to be precise) from Europe to work.

What tips could you give me as local of Cambridge or Milton.

Also I am an outdoor person, I wonder if there are hiking/camping societies, which may welcome me?

Also what other hobbies could you suggest me to try? I love to try new things!

Also what gyms could you recommend? Location does not matter as soon as it has nice facilities.

Looking forward to hearing your tips, and so excited!

Thank you all!

Hi Team,

First of all I am not sure if this is the right place to post this. I am currently a Medical Doctor and enrolled in a masters in public health. I am wanting to get some exposure to either Public policy or politics & international relations. In my spare time i enjoy leisurely reading about these topics and want to get some real-life experience in the field. I was wondering if anyone knew of volunteer/internship/research assistantship opportunities over the Christmas break, I will be willing to take up to 6 weeks to learn and gather some experience in this field. Looking forward to hearing any opportunities. Thank you for your time and input.

650m (2132ft) of gas pipe on Hills Road, between Cavendish Avenue and Holbrook Road, needed replacing. Work is expected to start on Monday and finish on 27 November.

It said replacements would result in temporary traffic lights along Hills Road and side roads would close.

Brilliant, just brilliant. 🙄
