Hackaday is settling in with the action at the Midwest RepRap Festival in Goshen, Indiana. Already it’s turning out to be a great weekend; an hour after the doors opened at 6:00 pm on Friday, with a freight train blocking traffic for half the town, there were more than 100 people through the doors. I have since stopped counting.
As far as who’s here, Lulzbot, the guy behind the Smoothieboard, Ultimaker, [Josh] from MakerJuice, [Jo Prusa], [Nicholas Seward], creator of the RepRap Wally, Gus, and Simpson, and the folks from MakerHive and Maker’s Tool Works.
Everybody is having tons of fun and I’m currently giving away Hackaday T-shirts in return for a contribution to the beer fund. The real show starts Saturday morning with a waffle breakfast, talks from famous reprappers, and hours and hours of fun.
Pics of some cool stuff below, here are two live streams, videos of awesome stuff up tomorrow.
So I misread the Twitter post to as the “rap festival.” That being said, I’d love to see a combined Rap/RepRap festival.
Possibly N*E*R*D could perform?
Did you see the Sir Mix A lot tweets from a couple weeks back? This is a distinct possibility.
Or that one character from… was it Black-Eyed Peas?
Ok, it was Will.i.am. I had to look it up. But really: http://upstart.bizjournals.com/entrepreneurs/hot-shots/2014/01/09/william-is-new-3d-printing-chief.html?page=all
Get MC Frontalot and end up with throngs of screaming fans who come just for him.
How I’d love to attend.. But, I’m a third of the globe away in new zealand. ;(
Hey enjoy people!
