a
East Coast RepRap Fest is a great gathering of 3D Printing companies, makers, and influencers alike.
First - what is reprap, well its a few things:
1) Essentially the first affordable 3d printer - such as the Prusa Mendel my old office had. https://www.reprap.org/
2) A firmware, you have 3 firmwares primarily in FDM (Reprap, Marlin, Klipper). RepRapFirmware.org
3) Fantastic Forums - RepRap Forums
Anyway this was a great event, I got to talk with some people that I know, look at some new products such as the Peopoly Magento-X, which had a super cool motion system but was not printing, Prusa XL with 5 Tool changers working, Props, projects of love such as bottle recycling machines. I recommend if anyone can get to the Bel Air area next October they go - you have a wealth of information available.
UPDATE**** I WILL HAVE A BOOTH @ ECRRF 2024 AS IT STANDS (LOL LIKE PEOPLE READ THIS)
