On November 5, makexyz members are meeting up in Orlando, FL! Here's where you can communicate with other attendees and discuss the time and place that works best for you guys/girls. This is going to be awesome.

- alright! nov 5th is a Wednesday so im thinking after 5 probably. does anyone know of a a venue? im guessing we just bring a couple prints to show off, unless you all would prefer to bring your printers. is anyone attending a member at familab in longwood that could possibly host? also does anyone know if this is just a meeting for printists, or printists and clients?

- Have never heard of Familab. Just looked it up and it sound really cool. Will be looking into a membership for sure. It might be hard to bring printers anywhere but a place like that, or someones' house. I for one would love to see other printers in use, if only for the first 10 layers or so, to get a feel for how they behave. I have a couple of Ultimaker 2's that someone might enjoy seeing.... but the logistics of some of us bringing printers may be problematic. We'll definitely be bringing some of our prints, and maybe explain a little how the were designed to print specifically for FDM printers. As for venue, we're open to anything. Don't want to drive an hour to get there, but other than that... BTW, we're in the Winter Garden area

- Familab is a really cool place. I let my membership lapse but I think my access card still works. It definitely would be an ideal place to have this meetup.

- I am also located in Winter Garden and would be willing to work on a meeting spot if one is still not determined. I have some connections with locations in the Winter Garden area that would be suitable for a meeting.

- Meeting is supposed to be the day after tomorrow... Any news or is it a flop? We can always get together at my house one day, that way people can bring their printers, drink some cold ones, etc... Just throwing that out there.

- I say we keep it simple and easy. Just make it a restaurant that's conducive to meetings like Panera Bread. There's one at 3131 Daniels Rd., Winter Garden. The group is small enough we can find a couple of tables in the corner and get acquainted. If we all feel like doing something more involved with bringing our printers, we can plan for it then. How does 7pm work for everyone? How many are still interested?

- I'm game for Panera Bread in Winter Garden, 7pm. Let this be a chance to get acquainted and set another date to do the printers if the interest is there.

- Won't be able to make it tomorrow. Last time I checked, it looked like only roundtable was going to show up, and last night my wife and I were given free tickets to Epcot's Food and Wine Festival, so I'll be attending that. I really would like to meet up with you guys one of these days soon though.
nateybo
- the flu, another time guys. its good to know some of you live in winter garden though.

- Sounds like this meeting effort was a bust. Better luck next time.

- I thought I'd put it out there that I'm at Panera in case anyone showed. I'm in the center wearing a blue T-shirt with a small box of 3-D printed items.
