Re: [Wikimediauk-l] [cultural-partners] Idea: Let's have a 3D printer at Wikimania

This has been bounced around before, but I think it would be pretty excellent to a 3D printer available for experiments during the week of the pre-Wikimania hackerthon and during Wikimania. Does anyone have contacts within the industry to pull on to see if we can get one for a week on demonstration? It would actually be smart marketing as many chapters are probably thinking of getting kit like this in the next year or two, in order to support open source 3D designs (which we have yet to crack on Wikimedia Commons). Perhaps one of the food printers (I have seen videos of sugar and chocolate sculptures being printed) might be a lot of fun?
