I live in North Orange County and I have a Prusa kit waiting to be assembled. Are there any meet ups in the area?

Nothing regular, afaik. Everyone seems to be a bit too spread out to get something going. I'm in Anaheim, and I know there are some people in south county and IE, but no good central meeting place. Congratulations on your purchase, I'd be happy to give help and experience; let me know if there's anything you need.

I just jumped into 3D printing with a Printrbot Simple and I'm located in N. Orange County. I'd be keen on doing a meet up for knowledge transfer.

I live in La Habra so Anaheim is pretty close. I think 3-4 people is a good start. Now all we need is a place to meet. Maybe there is a hackerspace or something around here.

I live in Huntington Beach and just ordered my first printer. I would be down to meetup. I think there is Hackerspace in Pasdena at Deezmaker's Shop (http://deezmaker.com/3d-printing-meetup-monthly-starts-january-6th-2013/) but I haven't gone yet.

Deezmaker is too far north for me. 23b, in Fullerton, it free to use as long as a paying member is present (although i've never been there myself). If someone there is interested in RepRap, we may be able to meet there.

I've emailed 23b, and they seem interested. Given some of the posts on their blog, I would suspect there are several RepRap-ers there. I'll make a new thread once something solidifies.

There will be a RepRap meet up on Saturday, January 25 at 2:00 PM at the 23b shop in Fullerton. 23b is a hackerspace in Fullerton, CA, that has milling machines, electronics workstations, meeting space, etc.

Their address is:

418 E. Commonwealth Ave Unit #1
Fullerton, CA 92832

Cross street is S. Lawrence Ave, a few blocks east of Harbor.
The shop is directly behind Pizza Hut and Stages theater.

Once again, thats January 25th at 2:00PM. Hope to see you there.

Thx, I'll put it down on the calendar and try to make it. I'm in N. OC so it's not far.
