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?
