Here is RepRap (and me) at Pop!Tech - one of the most eclectic and entertaining conferences in the world. Thanks to them for the invitation to present the project. RepRap was in a session with Matt and Jessica Flannery's Kiva, which is another extraordinarily good idea - visit their website too.
We made an impression, and got a RepRap version 1.0 "Darwin" set up and working in the conference coffee area, where it excited considerable interest (especially when the extrude head jammed for a few minutes with an expensive crunching noise...).

ReplyDeleteAwesome interview! The explanation with the glue gun at the beginning is probably the clearest explanation of what these machines do that I've heard to date.
