Midwest RepRap Fest this weekend!

fustini

The Midwest RepRap Fest is this weekend: today, tomorrow and Sunday!

Are you interested in 3D printing?  Do you want to see what you can make with a 3D printer?  Do you already have one? Then the 2014 Midwest RepRap Festival in Elkhart County Indiana is the place to be March 14-16th. This event is totally FREE to come and attend, there are no tickets, no entry fees just come hang out all weekend with other 3D printer guys and gals.

I'm looking forward to the list of speakers tomorrow:

  • Hi Drew,

     

    Its very tempting, but I an doing final edits on my book.

    Luckily, there is a 3D printing event very close to me and we have already signed up.

    I am getting closer to pulling the trigger and buy one.

     

    So little time, so many toys.

  • I'm very happy I went.  The Midwest RepRap Fest 2014 was excellent!  The RepRap community is very welcoming, collaborative and innovative.

    I really enjoyed seeing Nicholas Seward's innovative new RepRap designs (he's only been working with 3d printers for less than 1 year!):

    Hi Drew,

     

    Thanks for the post.  I will have to make time next year to see if I can get to this event.

    Looks like a lot of fun.

    Went through your photo gallery and It does indeed look like a lot of fun!

    Too bad there aren't similar events around here (that I know of ?) ...
