Last night Arch Reactor hosted a 3D Printer Build Night as part of the St. Louis 3D Printer Meetup Group with at least 35 attendees. The printer for the evening was a donated PrintrBot kit from one of Arch Reactor's members. Since the total assembly time would end up being 12+ hours, Ryan and Scott pre-assembled some of the more minor assemblies to help speed up the process and get to the more interesting parts. In addition to the kit building, there were several other printers running which varied from an UltiMaker, a couple different delta printers, and modified Lyman filament extruder.

PJRC has graciously sent us a handfull of "cosmetically challenged" Teensy 3.0 development boards! You may have seen the Teensy 2.0 used in some of the demos we do at various events around town, and this is our first time getting hands on the much faster 32 bit version. We'll get these in some members hand tonight and see what we they come up with!
