They haven’t said why. I’m very curious. I hope it’s just a branding thing and not a sellout. I really like the community atmosphere and that is not a trade show.

Was just there yesterday… honestly. While there’s a lot of “RepRap” spirit, it was like 75% big company booths (PrintedSolid, Prusa, E3D, LDO, 3DGloop, Protopasta, Polymaker, Slice Engineering to name a few) this year. Which is cool, but it’s not the small little hacker space sort of vibe it started as.
Did you go upstairs or on the edges? I feel like the big guys in the center as you describe, but the edges and upstairs were the hacker space vibe.
I did. It was a better setup than last year where the companies were smaller and they had the empty “artist/hobbyist” tables, but it was definitely more corporate this year as well.
