Indiana Geeking Y5E02 – Midwest RepRap Festival 2019

Happy Friday, my friends! We’re back with the second episode of the Indiana Geeking Podcast, the podcast where we focus on Hoosier-based creators and events!

This month, Lizz and I took a trip to one of the top 3D Printing events, the Midwest RepRap Festival. Held in Goshen, it brought in makers from across the world to show off their work, their machines, and eat tacos. As we were looking around, and preparing to start our own journey into 3D printing (more on that next week), we found some folks from here in Indiana that we wanted to talk Hoosier business with. Luckily, I had the trusty old Zoom H1 with me, so I was able to get some interviews with some folks in northern Indiana who make 3D Printers, filament, and use all of this to make their own props and costumes!

So, without further ado, join me as I give you some top events for the month of April, then jump into a series of short interviews with some of the local folks tabling at MRRF! Don’t worry, this one’s only about 45 minutes long! NOTE: You can find the Facebook Photo Album with the photos we took at this link.
