In nine hours, I'll be at #3DPrintopia. The last 3D printing show I went to was MRRF 2018*. So I'll wear my MRRF 2018 T-shirt today.

I sincerely hope I don't buy a new printer this weekend.

#3DPrinting

I’m not the only one. #3dprintopia

They say they're moving to a bigger venue next year. Once we made it through the front gate, it wasn't too crowded.

Spousey and I only saw about 60% of the show today. We're going back tomorrow.

#3DPrintopia

Key takeaways from 3DPrintopia:

Prusa, Positron, and LDO Motors were the only printer vendors I saw with booths. SnapMaker had some posters for their U1 kickstarter. The most common printers in the booths were Voron-likes, Bambu, and Prusa.

Lots of filament vendors. Lots of Youtubers.

Surprising numbers of huge prints (like, too big to transport in a car). Huge variety in surface finishes and colors.

Everybody had MakerCoins.
