A month and a half ago I was in a Barnes & Noble in Framingham. I saw a Da Vinci Jr.\u00a0 3D printer on display there and was staring at it when an employee asked me if I had any questions. I told him I had two printers and was eager to participate in the Maker Faire. He said he would refer me to their community manager, Paige Murray.<\/p>\n

She contacted me and we chatted by e-mail and made plans for me to do a talk on Sunday, during the Maker Faire. I would bring some samples, and a printer, and answer any questions people had about 3D printing.<\/p>\n

Later she contacted me about an event the previous Friday for a Framingham school. So my first event was for the principal and students, though there were plenty of public there too. It went very well, and I was a hit, apparently.<\/p>\n

I printed a rack of Emmett’s (on Thingiverse) planetary gears, one in each color I had:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These were a huge hit. I gave away about 20 of them.<\/p>\n

I also had a table full of my best prints.<\/p>\n

I did the Sunday event as well. Here are a bunch of photos.<\/p>\n

(Note, there were a lot of kids there. I blurred them out of these photos because they are minors and I do not have permission to post their pictures.)<\/p>\n
