Hey all. os1r1s and I have been brewing up a big get together for all the crazies out there. Calling it the Midwest RepRap Festival (MRRF) for now. It's going to be March 15-17th, here in Elkhart Indiana. We've got a huge warehouse heated, secure set for the weekend, we'll be supplying tables/chairs/power entertainment of some kind etc...

Have a few ppl set to present some live braodcast video interviews, some pre-recorder, and even some In person speakers at the event! No firm names yet, but we'll be posting more as they get on board. First off, it's free, no tickets, no fees. If you want to set up and sell products at the fest, we're aksing for a donation. That's pretty much all there is too it?

If you can make it to the event, take a minute and fill out the form, to help us know how many tables/chairs/power drops etc... we will need to have

Thanks guys, hope to see a bunch of you there!

10 hours away and I'm still considering showing up. Anyone living closer who doesnt show needs an excuse better than "work" or "bone protruding through skin."

I'll be there, probably with my family in-tow!

Oh dear. I live in NY, it's drivable. Hmmmm Now to ask the wife...

What is the actual address for navigation. I'm leaving from NY and don't want to get lost.

YAY!! I'm in Fort Wayne. If she lets me I will be there. How many coming with printers so far?

1willc, ill get the address posted up soon, its going to be on Johnson St and south of CR6 in elkhart.

Foshon, we have over 40 ppl registered for the weekend already! Thats just the ppl coming to hang. We have ~20 local people who will be there, with 10 or so printers, plus UltiMachine is coming, a birdie tild me a guy named joseph might be coming, and then our build event has 10+ ppl already coming.

Cant wait guys! Getting closer!

have you guys contacted the people at pumping station one? If not you really should.

Yep. Some of them as well as kalamazoo and indys maker/hacker communities are coming.

I can't make it-- this year-- You all have fun :-(

But maybe next year I will have more time to get a plan together. Ya see kids will do that to ya.

Don't mean to appear stupid but what is a "ppl"?

ppl == people

Room is booked. Looking forward to meeting you all.

See ya there! I just read that there is a mendel90 build the same weekend in the uk? Have to have a video link or? Could be pretty cool. Maybe this is a trend? Have simultanious build events all iver the world, all on the same weekend!

You would be surprised what you and your FDM printer can do if you, your printer and your software get good enough...

Is there a schedule or agenda for the show?

Something to see on Friday night?

Will be coming in from near Cleveland, Oh so would like to know how to plan trip.

Thanks

Nick

Everything still looking good for this?

I called today to ask if it was still on, and it is. It starts on Friday March 15th at 4pm and goes til around 2am, then starts up early Saturday and does the same, and Sunday is early until???

Sounds like a lot of fun.

I still need to book my room, but I'm planning on attending. It is right at 12 hours away from NW Arkansas. On the way back, I'll have a Rostock Max in tow. See everyone Friday.

Sweeeeeet!


See ya there!

Getting all primed and ready for the event, we're down in Louisville @ LVL1's hackerspace, os1r1s has the build event, 10 new Mendels coming to life

Anyone coming from Chicago that would be willing to rideshare? Message me!

Must I send in registration if I will only be an observer?

Nope, no registration required, come on down!

FYI, I set up some dropcams for the event

They are all streaming live all weekend, so anyone that can't come, stop by, and jump on #reprap in IRC, people always on somewhere

I plan on attending but due to a previous engagement I won't be able to get there until about 7pm which looks like dinner time. Will the dinner be at the hall or somewhere else? If it's going to be somewhere else could you post where?
