The 1st annual Midwest RepRap Festival in Elkhart Indiana was held from March 15-17, 2013. This is the first 3D printer event held in central America that hackers and makers gathered around and showed off their machines and cool stuff.

This event featured build-events for the SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX and MakersToolWorks MendelMax 2.0, guest speakers such as JohnnyR from UltiMachine.com, Josef Prusa (RepRap Core Developer) talking about the state of RepRep etc.

To get more information on the opensource 3D printing movement, Gavilan Steinman traveled to Elkhart Indiana and interviewed core developers and users of the technology, as well as kids who are growing up with the technology.

There were also many experienced RepRappers there to help others fix and tune 3D printers and help with troubleshoot issues. Their goal was to work together to create the ultimate opensource 3D printer. Watch the video below:
