One of the things I love to do is go to art shows and local meetups and setup a live printing area and show off a bunch of the sexy prints I keep on my shelf. Today was no different.
Our big comic book shop hosted free comic book day and this year they offered free artist space to setup and show their wares. I snagged a big box of comic book related prints, my trusty Bear MK3, and plenty of energy for the adventure.
I talked to over 60 families and general humans about printing that I may have actually worn myself out but it was so much fun to see eyes widen seeing their very first printer. I think a few families may consider getting a printer for their kids so big win.
The best part is I got to pack up all my prints knowing that someday someone may remember seeing their first 3D printer and they'll tell someone else about it. One day someone will buy a printer because the mystery is more tangible and that makes me pretty happy.
Back to work as I have editing to do so for now enjoy my little chat about a fun experience. Maybe you'll do the same thing locally and help spread the word of 3D printing.
