Totally respect if you decide not to move forward, but you should take some pride in acknowledging you actually got this thing to play music off a disc YOU MADE!! Incredible. Really, having the exact right algorithm to play the notes is less important than actually making the dream a reality. Back when first dreamed, you didn't even have a 3D printer, and now you made some music, if only a few notes. SUPER COOL!!! I can't speak for Kev, but I know I'm very proud of you! Amazing work!

I've been getting more acquainted with the joy and sorrow of hot-end assemblies lately, and this is a good insider look at the vicissitudes of the process. Now I don't feel so alone in my little disasters. I look forward to seeing more of your progress over the past 15 months. Good work on your hot-end and extruder!

Before giving you the link, I'll clarify a bit more what my position was in the video. To throw a bit more context on what I said re:Makerbot, I said that while I can understand why Makerbot feels they need to close off their product, it doesn't affect me much since it was already outside of my area of interest because it wasn't self-replicating. So as long as they weren't doing anything that affected the ideals of open source (such as trying to test whether something that was previously open could be closed), I don't care (because it's already less than a RepRap which can self-replicate). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umllwB4ou40 And here’s the last of the interviews that I remember doing, which just came out today, from International Business Times (produced by Nick Deel).

My printer is initially visible at 0:18, which leads into Chris talking about RepRap. Then Marco Perry talks about the wire bending bot he'd made - he's the guy I mentioned in the post above that designed the OXO lazy susan that my RepRap is on. The commenter is clearly confused after that when in the lead-in to me at 1:25 he describes me as having 3D-printer-envy - I think he thought the RepRap was Chris's, not mine (Chris left his home this year). This was on Sunday - you could hear how badly my voice was mangled.

Sat, 06 Oct 2012 07:40:33 +0000 http://www.keegan.org/reprapblog/?p=2924#comment-71080 I barely got to speak to Erik during the faire, but luckily I ran into him and the rest of the Ultimaker crew when I visited the MBI store on Monday to take pictures for my post about it. We had time to have a nice talk then. Setup occupied most of my time on Friday (our machines were largely disassembled for transport, and needed a bunch of replacement parts to repair the damage the TSA and airline did), and teardown after the faire on Sunday, when I would have liked to be able to walk around and talk to you guys. There was a party at NYC Resistor on Saturday where I was hoping to run into more 3d printer people, but the group I went with (Rob, Aaron, and Diego) seemed to be the only ones there (at least by the time we arrived). Thursday evening, Saturday evening, and Monday morning are probably the times when the most people will be able to meet up without booth duties to attend to, so I suggest we schedule something for one of those times. I agree that it's good to have some separation between the hobbyists and the big corporate printers like MBI, but several of the booths on our side were people like us who were basically hobbyists whose hobby had produced a product to sell. There is a continuity between the hobbyists and the "professionals" that was not reflected by separation between the two areas.

I need at least a month to decompress, and I promised I'd get the MoS their RepRap back complete by the end of the year (still never attached endstops or an extruder, or wired up the heated bed). We should schedule something after that. Maybe one year after the last New England RepRap event, which was somewhere around January-February if I remember right? I'll have to look it up.

People aside, personally I liked having at least a little separation of the hobbyists from the companies, so that the DIY stuff wasn't overwhelmed by teams of people manning commercial booths.. but it did suck that you and Tony Buser were so far away (and I didn't even get a chance to meet Erik de Bruijn). Agreed, we need to work out some real get-together next time, maybe a whole day earlier or something.. Saturday we were so tired.. Yeah I’m sorry you were away from us.

Fri, 05 Oct 2012 05:01:15 +0000 http://www.keegan.org/reprapblog/?p=2924#comment-70857 There were a lot of people I didn't get to talk to as much as I would have liked. We arrived to set up early on Friday, and didn't realize until all of our neighbors started showing up that we weren't in the 3d printer village where most of our friends would be, but had instead been banished to the 3d printer pavilion with MBI, UP, and the like. There were some other cool people on that side, like Ultimaker, QU-BD, Type-A, etc., but I wish they had put us with you guys instead. Next year, we'll have to set aside some time before and after faire hours for those of us with booths to have time to talk to each other. I'm also hoping we can get them to put the "professional" and hobbyist printers closer together next year so that we get more of a chance to talk when we do get a few minutes away from the booth.
