What time is it? It’s Midwest RepRap Festival time, and it’s happening this weekend in beautiful Goshen, Indiana. It’s free, it’s open to everyone, and it’s the greatest 3D printer convention on Earth.
What’s so great about MRRF? This is where the latest products in the 3D printing space are launched. A few years ago, E3D announced their dual extrusion head at MRRF. This is where the world first got a look at the Bondtech extruder. This is where E3D announced their Titan extruder, and this is where the world got its first look at the Lulzbot Taz 6. If you want to check out the latest 3D printing gear, this is where you go.
How about showcasing what 3D printing can do? Well, how about 3D printed molds for resin casting? There will be 3D printed droids from Star Wars. Want to learn about bioprinting? Sure thing. How about non-Nerf guns? How many filament changes are too many? This is not the limit.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a RepRap festival without the latest new designs for 3D printers. [Nicholas Seward] usually makes it out to MRRF, and he’ll probably be bringing a few of his weird innovations. There are strange RepRaps built for STEM-driven curriculum. Last year, we saw what is probably the greatest advancement in 3D printing in years. The infinite build volume printer is exactly that — it can print an infinitely long beam in one axis. How about a color mixing, CMYKW filament-based printer?
The Midwest RepRap Festival is the greatest 3D printer convention on the planet, and I’d say one of the top two or three cons I go to every year. It’s a fantastic time that you can’t miss. Join us!
Sadly we won’t be able to make the 1200 mile trip to Goshen this year so the M2 won’t be there at least. I’m totally bummed about it too, but life happens.
If anything from Arcus3D is there, it would be one of the other open source projects and because someone else built it, so that would be cool though..
Someone snag me a sticker please!
Will there be a live stream again this year?
We’re coming. And we’re bringing our toolchanger. E3D is excited for MRRF.
Excellent! Cant wait to see that.
I’ll be there, showing my kids the possibilities that printing offers :)
I’m about 3 hour away, came from North Carolina – looking forward to networking.
I’ll be there Saturday all day hanging out with Ryan Zellars, the guy who invented the MPCNC. He’ll have one, and I think his MP3DP as well.
