This is forked from http://3dprintervillage.posterous.com/, because I couldn't figure out how to comment on the posts. And wiki pages make Sebastien and Mister Bunny happy.
Hmmm? ... ! a new wiki page!!!!! :D --Sebastien Bailard 03:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

NYC World Maker Faire
http://makerfaire.com/newyork/2010/ Maker Faire is being held Saturday, September 25th - 10:00 a.m. to 7 p.m.and Sunday, September 26th - 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.. It is at the New York Hall of Science in 47-01 111th Street, Queens, NY 11368-2950.
JohnA submitted the application for two 10ftx10ft booths with Power and WiFi/Internet, which was accepted.
We are looking to setup a 3D printing village, with all types and variations on the RepRap designs.
Registration
Everyone who wants to print and / or be involved with the booth and system building and tweaking over the weekend should register NOW as a Maker: http://makerfaire.com/newyork/2010/callformakers/
When you complete the form, in Section 3 make sure you put that you're part of the 3D Printer Village, so that the Faire staff can keep track of things correctly. This should get you into the Faire as well as your name and info on the MakerFaire website. The deadline is August 15th!
Printers
So far we have people bringing the following printers...
New York Area
- JohnA. (Highly Modified MakerBot and a Mendel)
- Steve (Isaac, possibly a Mini-Mendel)
Canada
- User:Sebastien Bailard
- Rob Gilson (Mendel, possibly more)
Pennsylvania
- Tony Buser and wife Amy - will bring either MakerBot or RepRap not sure which yet, also a Filament Spindle
Rhode Island
- Bruce Wattendorf and Son Nicholas - will bring Makerbot and looking to possible car pool with anybody from RI Mass area. Also attending RI Makerfair.
Supplies
This is a list of things that will be needed for support equipment. Hopefully the people local can bring most of these things on the list, so the people traveling won't have to pack and bring as much.
* Signage * Power strips (lots) * Table coverings * Extra chairs * Extension cord(s) * Ez-up tent (if we're outdoor?), (Outdoor = Contraindicated)
Transportation
Post in the [RepRap NYC-Maker Faire mailing list or the forum to try and coordinate a carpool. It is probably easier to do it on the forum than on here. Taking the LIRR is probably not feasible with large and delicate robots as well.
