Any Bay Area printers out there willing to show me how this stuff works? I would really like to see it in action!
MakerBots are being shown n a couple Microsoft stores.

there are several reprap groups in the bay area https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bay-area-reprap
Or if you’re in San Francisco, come to 3D Thursday at Noisebridge. The Bay Area Reprap group is much more reprappy.
