Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival 2023

So much was discussed. Pasted some of my notes below, a subset of the overall content am currently most interested in.

  • 06:00 Jason from LDO. Interesting “Positron” open source 3D printer, super compact, upside down, 90 degree hotend, currently synchronous mesh belt but switching to conventional belts.
  • 32:50 Shane from Prusa3D.
  • 58:20 Vishal SliceWorx, have bunch of products including filaments that very closely match Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee and Ryobi. Useful if you want to pimp out storage/accessories for your favorite tools toys.
    • Disclosure: Vishal and I chatted for a bit, he kindly gave me a free not Dewalt “Vault Yellow” spool to try out.
  • 1:03:50 Tim from Voron, history and various showcase models, including Yuge, trident (darkrock185), double panel high temp ( PanDOOMra by Doug ), Tim’s flip lid, TridEX = Trident + Dual extruder,
  • 1:16:30 Steven from 3DQue, 3D printer/farm automation, via ML/AI. Dynamic setting tuning during job to maximize successful yield (e.g. temp and flow tweaks during the print based on camera observations).
  • 1:24:15 Apex from Fabreeko Snake Oil, open source projects
    • Neat panel clips/mounts, am probably stealing those for my MP3DP v4
    • CAD/Docs/Firmware and more for SnakeOil-XY 3D printer.
