Hi all I can bring my printer, not sure where it will go. It's a very slow process so would be good to have some things printed beforehand, have a look on Thingiverse.com for models I could print, some are only suitable for SLS printer (very expensive industrial machines that use lasers) but most of the models I could print.
Having RepRap involved in some way at Wikimania is on my to do list.
