Class success! Next class please

[Christopher Thompson]

I had a ton of fun at NextFab cranking out 3 more 3D printers this weekend. 

I am so ready to do it again.

There was some discussion about what needs to happen next. Main points I remember:

• 10 spots @ $1200 will provide full travel expenses for instructors around the US.
• We need to find willing hosts. We may have a few leads.
• We should have the whole toolchain and dependencies on a flash drive in case of hurricanes.
• PLA bushings on Z axis need to be a bit looser.

My research since:

• Eventbrite can cover ticketing and will charge a max $10 for the privilege plus paypal fees: $35.10
• Eventbrite will let us take check or at the door payments. Bitcoins at the door!
• People frickin' love 3D printers. We can sell out 10 next time.

I think we should all reach out and find more hosts. Once they are interested, we can pick a date +2months and start marketing.

Sound like fun?

I'll know more about CO once I setup base camp in the coming weeks. I'll follow-up with Houston as well.

cool! i'm gonna follow up with nextfab once we get all finances from the class squared away. i think there is a good market here in Philly for these, we just need to work on the marketing angle a bit more.

I would love to host one at my school.

What are the space requirements?

Is it run by a nonprofit organization?

Is there a concise description of the workshop that I could use to pitch it upstream?

Thanks
