I’ve started a playlist on the Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival channel called RMRRF 2023 and its public, hope it works out.

Most of us didn’t see any of the behind the scenes stuff, but even if you left it as is, with the amount of contact you gave to everyone, it’s pretty perfect as is.

try searching RMRRF 2023
Official RMRRF youtube channel isn’t showing up in my search results.
https://rockymountainreprapfestival.com/ has links to FB and https://twitter.com/rmrrf but no YouTube link
youtube.com/@rmrrf doesn’t work, maybe it should…

I’ve just gotten back to this today. So much good stuff has been said, of course, but my offer of $0.02 is that 1) if invited again, I’ll REALLY focus on finished work examples. This time, I mostly had test pieces, etc. There is much more possible, just as the 3D printer booths had tons of finished pieces. 2) I would have some partly assembled subassemblies. I suspect that for the average visitor, it’s tough to wrap their head around how this whole thing works. As an example, consider the substantial interest in work holding and artwork prep. We take that stuff for granted but, it’s actually really important. And 3) I would have a “demo” schedule. We’d have to think about how to pull this off, but I’ve been to many woodworking equipment shows through the years, and one of the MOST popular elements are the scheduled demonstrations. We’d only need to do 2 or 3 a day, with each lasting 15-20 minutes, but they would draw a crowd of interested people. And, it could be accompanied either by a video or coupled with a live camera feed of some detail and a large-ish display. (Which I can bring! I also have a battery operated PA system to help with sound.)

Absolutely 100%.
I would love to do a few demo cuts. I have been doing a few 4 minute cuts today. That would demo a lot. It also takes some sort of sound deadening box, and a vacuum. If I do a local show…probably doable, but shipping is a bummer.
I think a few good videos on display would work almost as well. Just like having something to put in the hands and point to a video could do that. I need to get a playlist or something to bring next time.
Yeah, I have all sorts of things I would like to do different. I am heading to MRRF I think, so about a month to get me stuff together. Traveling with large machines is a bummer.

But, if the travel is only 10 minutes, it’s not so bad. 
Let’s stay in touch on this. I think a short demo on aluminum would be awesome. I have some ideas for the enclosure. And, the equipment to test the effectiveness for sound suppression.

Hi all - I came across your little adventure to RRF and am loving these post, from start, to end it was obviously a great time had by all.
All the videos have been great, I hope you can all get back next year.
From what I can see from feedback, Ryan will have a lot more help too, as well as being able to adventure out and see more of the festival.
Well done everyone, for helping Ryan.
Well done Ryan, on being there and promoting what you do.

I’ll probably go again. My family enjoyed it this year. I enjoyed meeting some of the “characters” from this forum.
