Where are people?
December 03, 2007 05:39AM
I figured it'd be helpful to know where people where, just in case I might be living next to a reprapper (can I say that?).

I'm living on campus at the University of Surrey, but over holiday's I move back to Kingston, near London. How about you guys?

University of East London, SMARTlab,
The machine shuttles between this lab and the arts building (the AVA).
SMARTlab has some jolly toys if anyone needs milling or laser cutting work done.

It looks like there are a few of us up North. I am about to undertake making a reprap with a friend (buying parts ASAP) anyone want to work with us? My friend is a specialist electrician so we think it will be a matter of time before we have ours made.

Anyone interested would be more than welcome to join us smiling smiley Or if anyone could help us out that would be great smiling smiley

Around Leeds area?

HydraRaptor it looks like you could help us out with some difficulties which we might get in to?

Hi Adam,

I live in York, and have just ordered the Arduino PCBs from rrrf and the mechanical kit from bitsfrombytes. Am currently try to decide whether to go down the slow path of working out all the RS component part numbers I need or just ordering everything from Mouser. Have you placed your components order yet?

Question

Is it worth having a meet at some place centrally up north ??

Just for a chin wag and a pint if nothing else ????

I am not picky about where/when.. Just a thought.

There does look to be enough common ground to make it worth while.

I'm down south but if a meet was happening and it could be the South end of the North (if that makes sense) I would travel up (good excuse to get the bike out smiling smiley)

How far south are you Ian ???

Sheffield is sort of south for us up north but may not be south enough ??

(Sheffield is fairly convenient for Manchester, Leeds, Doncaster and York at least good rail links and motorway wise, I am not suggesting in any way that folk should drink and drive)

Yes I can make Sheffield, Manchester or Leeds. York and Bristol are a bit more of an undertaking.

Sheffield looks to be a current hot favorite.

Current suggestions for days (not actual dates) is either a Friday or a Monday evening. I guess this makes it easier for folks who are coming from farther a field to juggle work commitments.

If we have enough folk ( 6 - 8 ) I will approach Sheffield Uni (not sure who or how yet) and see if we can loan a meeting room or some such.

Initial suggestion is Meet, Eat & Pub.

What do you guys think ????

As this is getting quickly off topic.

In order to save myself a kicking. I have taken the liberty of moving the thread to a topic called meetings but still in the UK reprap area.

[forums.reprap.org]

Please post furthers to this discusion there.

Cheers

I live in London (Honor Oak). I am currently studying electronic Engineering at Durham. I have only really just found out about RepRap but I am slowly getting more serious about beginning a build very soon (also happen to have 3 stepper motors lying around!).

I'm in Hertford, Hertfordshire, my reprap is finished apart from the extruder playing up. d4m13nb3rry, my msn is james.n.glanville@gmail.com if you ever need help on making a reprap.

I'm in Rotherham South Yorkshire. haven't started a RepRap yet as only just stumbled on to it. I do have a background in engineering, rapid prototyping and too many other things to list. Would like to team up with someone local to build with.
