MakerBot Operator Stewart Starbuck let us know about his experience last weekend at the inaugural UK MakerFair. He’s provided a nice pack of photos from the event to check out. In the tradition of MakerFaire, it looks like a good time was had by all, and there was an abundance of 3D Printers!
Here’s a snip from Stewart’s report.
“I’ve completely worn out, but here they are, some of the pictures taken from MakerFaire: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stewartstarbuck/sets/72157626113449241/ It was an amazing event, which I would recommend to everyone. I was really pleased to see such a huge interest in 3d Printing. There were a number of stands with printers, including a strong contingent from the RepRap folks, and all reported having had lots of positive feedback from the public….We were printing out keychains (taking around 3 minutes each) that proved to be very popular. We couldn’t print them fast enough to keep up with demand. Seeing peoples faces when they watched the MakerBots print a piece all the way through then to take it with them was just simply awesome. The wealth of other projects at the faire is just too great to put into words. There are lot of amazing people out there with some truly remarkable ideas, many of which will hopefully go on to change the world for the better!”We hope so too, and thank you Stewart and Nick, and congratulations to everyone at UK MakerFaire!
