They were having some extruder teething pains, but were still the center of a lot of attention.Ĭocoa Press was there with the happy news that it is now possible to order a kit for its chocolate 3D printer. Peopoly showed an engineering model of their new printer, the Magneto X. Likewise, Printers For Ants had scaled-down Voron designs. (The photo shows a black one folded on the left, and the machine in action on the right.) The printer is designed so that it will fold up into a filament box for travel. LDO Motors had a fun printer prototype, the Positron, which prints on the bottom of a transparent heated bed. On the other end of the spectrum were novel tiny printers. Prusa (both the company and the man himself) were showing off their XL larger printer, and there were others ranging up to refrigerator-sized boxes. The first theme that emerged was that many of the new introductions were at the extremes of 3D printer size: very big and tiny.

This year there was a second upper deck loop of booths to expand the available exhibit space beyond the arena floor. The 2023 event featured about 100 exhibitor or sponsor booths and about 2,000 attendees over the two days. The Bel Air, Maryland event, held at the APGFCU Arena, was in its sixth year. By the time the doors opened on Saturday September 30th, they had already sold as many tickets as they did for the entire event in 2022. We had a great time at the East Coast RepRap festival, as did many others. Gift the gift of Make: Magazine this holiday season!
