Topic: Showing your printer
Had a blast yesterday. Over the past 10 plus years I have exhibited my mini simple "Steam engines" at various model engine shows . Yesterday rather than my engines I took my Prusa I3 and a bunch of stuff I 3d printed.
I felt like the exhibit was well received and well attended even by fellow exhibitors.
Many people had never seen a 3d printer before. and it was not uncommon for folks to stand and watch for 15 minutes.
So lots of fun.
A young college student that I have seen at many shows and is from the area volunteered to help. He is a member of the Make 717 group out of Lancaster PA . That makerspace has IIRC, 5 printers and uses simplify 3d . So my setup was a little different . But Steve has a keen eye and a love for 3d printing and was a great asset to have available . And he had lots of fun as well.
And I did display a 3D printed engine . It needs a heavier fly wheel to run .
