I'll probably be there too. Have know about SDHC for a while but now that I want to build my own 3D printer and I am looking for other people interested in this and to get feedback on my other projects.

I was looking at this design for a 2 axis positioner built around a Sarrus Linkage. Its pretty cool (no sliding parts). I think the parts were built on a Reprap.
I was thinking about how it could be modified by adding a 3rd axis built around the similarly awesome Paucellier linkage (like the Sarrus linkage, you get a linear constraint with no sliding parts): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaucellier%E2%80%93Lipkin_linkage
No reason why one should prefer one linkage over the other, its just they're pretty damn cool.
It works I tell thee. Well on the upside I now know that my idea for a printer works, on the downside it appears that someone has already done it, but I still like the simplicity of the idea and think it would make a good candidate for a first 3D printer. http://www.festo.com/rep/en-us_us/assets/swf/iFab_DE.swf
I'll be at the meet so happy to talk more about 3D printers there or before hand
