East Coast RepRap Festival 2022: Back in person!

For the first time since 2019, the East Coast RepRap Festival (ERRF) was held in person in Bel Air, Maryland. A total of approximately 1,600 attendees, including more than 60 corporate sponsors and nearly 50 exhibitors, filled the APFCU Arena at Harford Community College. The event was a mix of business-to-business deals, fan showcases, and wide-eyed kids and their parents.

Open-source projects were very prominent. The Voron 3D printer design project was particularly well represented, with both printers and copies of its legendary design manuals on display. Beyond that, many Voron printers acted as workhorses in other stands.

Filament companies had a big presence with an amazing array of demo merchandise and prints, like this multicolored ProtoPasta filament dragon.

Cocoa Press chocolate print is also coming. Original 3D printers, from miniature "baby belt" printers to printers that are redefining "wearable technology", were also very present.
