This is forked from http://3dprintervillage.posterous.com/, because I couldn't figure out how to comment on the posts. And wiki pages make Sebastien happy.

NYC World Maker Faire

http://makerfaire.com/newyork/2010/ Maker Faire is being held Saturday, September 25th - 10:00 a.m. to 7 p.m.and Sunday, September 26th - 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.. It is at the New York Hall of Science in 47-01 111th Street, Queens, NY 11368-2950.

JohnA submitted the application for two 10ftx10ft booths with Power and WiFi/Internet, which was accepted.

We are looking to setup a 3D printing village, with all types and variations on the RepRap designs.

Printers

So far we have people bringing the following printers...

JohnA (Makerbot, Mendel)

Steve (Isaac, possibly a mini Mendel)

Sebastien and the Canadians (???)

  • Rob (Mendel, possibly more)

Supplies

This is a list of things that will be needed for support equipment. Hopefully the people local can bring most of these things on the list, so the people traveling won't have to pack and bring as much.

   * Signage
   * Power strips (lots)
   * Table coverings
   * Extra chairs
   * Extension cord(s)
   * Ez-up tent (if we're outdoor?)

Transportation

Post in one of the forum threads to try and coordinate a carpool. It is probably easier to do it on the forum than on here. Taking the LIRR is probably not feasible with large and delicate robots as well.

Downloads

Let's get a zip or tarball set up with all the images and flyers.

Photos and Drawings

These are things we can enlarge and put on posters/business cards/flyers.
