[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

[Clive Mitchell]

I think glass is often used because it's a good balance between laying
down the first plastic and then separating the finished object
afterwards.  It's also a good insulator, so that allows the heating
element to be placed in direct contact.

The PCB based heating plate looks neat.  By specifying a standard
copper thickness and fine tuning the track width and length they seem
to have come up with a very simple and consistent heating plate.
