The First Dayton, Ohio Maker Fair

DAB
DAB
17 Jul 2016

Hi all,

 

I managed to attend the first, hopefully annual, Maker Fair.

 

Both my wife and I had a great time and from my observation, so did everyone else.  Nice turnout.

 

So without further ado, the pictures.

image

Carollon Park is a great venue for the event.  Lots of wide open spaces.  They were even launching model rockets.

 

image

These guys made a liquid fuel rocket motor test stand.

 

image

 

image

Here we had an old mechanical Teletype printer.

image

 

They had two teams doing a junk build vehicle, though I  noticed that they had seeded the area with just what they needed.

 

image

They also had some drivable robots.

I

This guy makes steam powered engines.  Very cool.

 

image

 

A nice CNC machine.

image

 

3D printers galore.

 

image

 

image

The park is also full of technology developed in Dayton Ohio over the years.  Here is a real woody, with real wooden parts.

image

This man built his own propane fired steam motor bike.

image

There were also lots of arts and crafts.

 

There were two blacksmiths showing how to bend metal the old fashioned way.image

 

image

Here  we have a robot strawberry harvester prototype.

image

A 2D pancake maker.

image

More 3D printers.

 

image

A robot arm waving a flag.

image

A display demonstrating how to use conductive ink to make an interactive display.

image

Sponser MCM booth.

 

 

image

The MCR cash register museum.

image

 

And the ubiquitous Raspberry Pi.

 

That is all for now.

 

If you can get to a maker fair in your area, by all means go!
