3D printed Quadcopter at MRRF

Midwest RepRap Festival: Video 3 of 6 | 6:02



While at the Midwest RepRap Festival I was able to sit down (while standing) with Russ Reese and get some information on his quadcopter. I don't know what it is about quadcopters, but it's a must have for every robotics loving maker! Russ did a beautiful job on the quadcopter he demos for us!

The new pico Hot-end by B3 Innovations

Midwest RepRap Festival: Video 2 of 6 | 5:02



While at the Midwest RepRap Festival I was privileged to sit down with Will and Mike from B3 Innovations. They have a new hot-end design that is about to hit kickstarter. I'm really excited because it looks like a flawless hot-end design! I'm hoping to get their hot-end in a few months and no longer have hot-end issues on my reprap 3d printer.

You can stay in the loop through their website, http://b3innovations.com.

3d Printer Guinness World Record Attempt

Midwest RepRap Festival: Video 1 of 6 | 3:01



I traveled to Elkhart, Indiana last weekend for the first annual Midwest RepRap Festival. I brought my camera equipment in hopes to capture a piece of opensource hardware history. As it turns out, I did just that! And got to know some amazing people in the process.

This is a Guinness World Record attempt at the most 3d printers printing at once. The attempt was held on March 16, 2013 at the First Annual Midwest RepRap Festival in Elkhart, Indiana, USA. We would like to thank the following people for making this possible:

Vacation at Midwest RepRap Festival

Last weekend I took a vacation day so that I could spend the whole weekend at the first annual Midwest RepRap Festival. It was a blast! I thought about bringing my printer, but it's practically an antique and I didn't know if it could manage the trip. Instead, I brought my cameras! All of them! Stay tuned for some amazing footage!

In this episode I use the ACS714 Current Sensor to attempt to measure battery use of my dogbot leg. But will it work?
