Howdy there everyone!! It's been too long sorry about not posting lately life for the RepRap Kid has been quite busy! We went to Maker Faire NYC all weekend and it was fantastic, we had so many interviews from places like NBC, Wired Magazine, and Hack a Day! From the makers that started the 3D printing revolution in the US with the first Darwin RepRap, and the 3rd in the world presented their latest and greatest creation the Gigimaker. We were deciding on a name for our machine on the way to NYC and came up with the idea of calling it this. Oh and speaking of which be sure to look at the photos attached of the machine inside our CRV, that was a tight fit! But it was worth bringing it down to NYC, we met a lot of our friends from our 3D Printing group including our good friend Joseph Prussa the inventor of the Prussa 3D Printer. We also met up with our friends from Ultimaker who we were so glad to see, they thought our printer was a work art and they were proud to have their robot logo on the front panel. On top of seeing all of these incredible people we saw yet another, Ben Heck! This man is the inventor of the Xbox 360 Laptop and he has his own TV show, this man is awesome he thought our project was incredible! Overall tho this event was fantastic and I just wanna give a shout out to the two guys who that made this event possible! First off I would like to thank James Barkley yet again for taking the time to come and help us present our machine at both maker faires, and lastly I owe the biggest thanks to my dad who essentially made this dream of mine a reality THANKS DAD YOU ROCK! Hope you like the pictures and be sure to check us out on all of the websites and places I mentioned we are out there now!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your experience building your large format 3D printer.
I have some experience with large format printing and some questions about your project regarding the early large format printing designs.
