[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

[Thomas Parry]

Yeah, the printer only had a 420mm and a 410mm rod, so I've marked them
down for the 2x350mm rods on the BOM but there's also 2x406mm rods needed,
so they might be better used for that? I also got a couple of stepper
motors out of the printer if we need them for anything in the future
although they are quite small and not in the NEMA standard.
