It is awesome to see MakerBot and Prusa Mendel at Maker Faire. A couple of years ago I had never heard of 3D printing. I am still amazed by the digital fabrication process that is 3D printing. I'll admit, I have trouble grasping the science and mathematics behind these machines. Of course you do not have to completely understand something for it to be fun! I enjoyed putting together our MakerBot. I wasn't exactly sure how it was going to work, until I saw the plastic coming out of the extruder. I am still learning about 3D printing all the time. If you would like to learn more about it check out the information and links below. The MakerBot TV video is especially cool.
The RepRap 3D printer made an appearance at the NYC Maker Faire this past weekend. Josef Prusa gave a presentation on the history of RepRap. If you were unable to attend you can check out the slideshow. Also MakerBot was at the Faire and recorded some goodies on their new show MakerBot TV.
