Last month (November 14th - 17th), I presented the project at the Protototypes for Humanity Conference in Dubai. The event was a brilliant experience except for one major problem...REITEN COULDN'T COME. We tried everything...immigration officers...lawyers....more immigration officers....but we were unable to get Reiten the required paperwork.

As a stopgap, I emsure that Reiten's presence was at the event via many embarrassing photos of him. Unfortunately, his presence was not strong enough for us to win the 25k exhibitor prize. If he did come, we totally would have won though!

We did manage to demonstrate and explain the recycling technology to many conference attendees.  A lot of schools seems interested in setting up a Polyformer in their makerspace. The experience was definitely worth lugging a 3D printer around UAE.
