<div dir="ltr">Oh yes, definitely show off some things that are printed from these things. Talk about how a broken candy machine can be fixed by printing a plastic replacement gear with a 3D printer. Show off as many things as you can with the best examples you can find.</div>

Long story short, I have to give a last minute talk on 3D printers tonight. They have it listed as a 2 hour presentation so I need some help. To make matters worse the only printer we have working decided to have a stepper motor die. So now I have 10 hours to make this work.<br>
<br>
Any good suggestions on topics I should cover? I'm going to try and cover open source hardware, history, how printers work, current uses and anything else you guys can help me think of. I'm also going to try and put together a one page handout that will help get people more information on 3d printers.<br>
<br>
So anything you all can do to help me out would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Phil<br>
