Do we have a spinning office chair w/ back removed
in the space?<br>
<br>I'm pretty sure there does not currently exist a MakeLV logo. Rather just the Hive4A logo.<br>
<br>
If we go with a keychain, is the plastic durable enough to not break off the corner too easily? I could pick up some key rings at Michaels.<br><br clear="all">-Ellis<br>

<br>As far as the table, I probably wouldn't take up the whole 8'. Printer and laptop only needs about 3-4' and I'll set a few prints out for people to see.<br>
<br>If I could get like the hive4a logo in vector format (is there a MakeLV logo?) I could probably whip something simple up to 3D print and hand out. I don't mind printing little things and giving them out for free. Would probably only be like 20 cents worth of plastic. :)<div>

<br>Tony,<br>Would there actually be enough room since it is only 4' wide? Does the scanning need a flat and/or static and/or special colored background or just a background that is far enough away? I was thinking that we could have the person spin in a chair out front... make other people see them. I doubt we'd have trouble asking people to step back for a minute. Plus it'll draw attention.<br>

I think AEDC would prefer that we highlight Hive 4A over AEDC. I think expressing that appreciation is a good idea. :-)<br><br>Tony will be likely using most of the back corner for scanning. In fact, we need to get an office chair for people to sit and spin in so he can scan them. He said 8' will be plenty for his needs table space wise. I got the impression that there may even be a little room to spread other things into. (Tony, holler if I'm misrepresenting that.) <br>
<br>I haven't heard if Dave is planning on having his MakerBot in our booth or elsewhere yet. He would probably be a good one to talk with concerning 3D barcodes or maybe get the Hive 4A logo printed out a few times to show off. I've seen that 2D to 3D sort of thing done with text, I don't know about doing it easily with images. Perhaps nameplates could work. We'd want to suggest a donation for the extruded plastic like we are the soldering to recoup costs.<br>
<br>That reminds me, we need a donation jar or something like that which isn't easy to reach into and take stuff out. Ellis, do you have any of that PVC that we could make a tube out of into a funnel into a big jar? Might you have an appropriate jar in your bottle collection that isn't worth an significant money? Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance of the activity of bottle collecting.<br>

I have the following plastic tables from Sam's club:<br>4'x2' adjustable height<br>
6'x2.5' @ 29" high<br><br>I'll bring the 4'x2' one on Saturday. It
couldn't hurt to bring a second one though. We could make it double
wide or set it up in the back right corner for an out of reach display.<br>
<br>I have a spare 18"(?) lcd screen I don't mind lugging in. It could just be used to display what someone is doing on a laptop.<br>
<br>Do we have a sign or something that says: "Sponsored and Made
Possible By the AEDC" or something? I realize we will be sharing table
space, but still. It would be good to show our thanks and good
advertising.<br>
<br>I do have a light jar working. I keep it on the table on my porch.
However, it doesn't look good when in the light and honestly it isn't
incredibly bright even at night. While it can make the jar glow (I
still haven't found a good way to do the frosting so I have colored
glass in the jar), it isn't much good at providing light for walking
except on very dark nights. BTW, the light jar materials in the space
are for anyone to use.<br>
<br>
I was thinking about the 3D printer(s) being more interactive... What if
we let them generate a 3d barcode image, convert the image into a
simple 3d shape (preferably in some automated way... is there a script
or SketchUp plugin to transform a B&W image into a raised object?),
and then set the printer to print (with assistance as needed of
course). Then they can paint the raised portion with a black marker or
paint and glue a backing pin on the back if they want to wear it.<span><font color="#888888"><br><br clear="all">-Ellis</font></span><div><div><br>
