Bay Area Maker Faire 2017: On site report from MakForge

Awesome. I really wish i could be there to check it out, but iā€™m on the wrong coast. :frowning:

However my sister, who i talked into also buying a GF, should be there. Iā€™ll send her your way.

Hopefully you can convince her she made the right choice. She isnā€™t active on the forums so she hasnā€™t been seeing all the cool stuff made on the PR units.

Zone 2 in Expo: East is apparently Glowforge alley. It seems to be where most of the Glowforge PRU guinea pigs makers are.

Placed you all in the same place so as to not constantly distract everyone when they are browsing other areas.

What are you doing for the exhaust? Do you have filter unit that youā€™ll be using?

In that large a space? Everyone could be venting open, or under booths, and body odor would still be the biggest smell.

How exciting!

Hope ALL of the GlowForgers have a wonderful event, make lots of new friends, inspire many people - and in turn, come home feeling inspired as well :slight_smile:

Iā€™d fly in to present, if it got me a table with a Glowforge. (I hate flying and have no desire to visit CA.)
