I'm terrible with names so I suggest name tags, as silly as they may look. Handy to help associate the username to the face 
I can take care of tags if needed.

Yup the 10th, doors open at 6:30pm.
Currently the plan is to give everyone about half an hour to set up and mingle, then those interested from the aerospace club will show up at about 7pm. Then if anyone wants to give a short talk there will be a projector and a white board if needed
Otherwise, I'll give a brief intro.
If you'd like to do the intro, post here so I know if I need to prep anything. I'm sure people will mostly want to look at printers and chat to each other.
Also, if you are planning on bringing your printer (which would be great!) could you pose here as well? just to make sure when have enough tables (though I think we will be ok)
Sadly, I probably won't bring my mendelmax as I blew up my last pololu stepper driver for my extruder and probably won't have a replacement before then
look forward to meeting you all next week

Thanks Alizier I managed to source a stepstick and it seems to be working so I'll be bringing my max and its huge birdsnest of wiring
By my count we have probably 4 printers or more coming along so we will have plenty of space.
See you all tomorrow

Hi all
I think the reprap meetup evening went very well. I certainly learned a lot and have since managed to improve my prints (moar cooling )
There has been some talk of running another meet up. I think it is a good idea, giving the success of the last one. However, there are only 3 weeks left of teaching at uni, after that it is exams and summer break.
Do you think we should run another so soon? We could run another on a weekend in two weeks time if we want students at uni to show up and have a look, or we could run it later in the summer but we won't get many students coming by (I should still be able to book a room though)
I would be running the event as an aerospace club event, the club is interested in technology and this fits right in. From my perspective, it would be better if there were more students around when we run it. However as a reprapper I would also just like to meet up again at some point
Thoughts?

Hi All
The University of Canterbury Aerospace club is looking at running another 3D printer evening on march 14 at 6.30pm onward . It would be awesome if some of the Christchurch reprap community could make it. We will be running it in the Electrical Engineering department. At some point in the evening we might be able to do a tour to the mechanical wing and have a look at some of their 3D printers (2 UP! printers and one Dimension machine).
It would be great to see you there If you are planning on brining a printer just let me know so I can make sure we will have enough tables and power points available.
Cheers
Andre
