Jon Herr of Maker Faire Syracuse breaks down how the maker movement has become more accessible than ever before. He points out that just five years ago, the people showing up with 3D printers and laser engravers were largely professionals or serious hobbyists who had invested significant time and money into learning their craft. Today, thanks to more affordable tools like Bambu Labs printers and the rise of tutorial content on platforms like TikTok, a whole new wave of beginner makers is entering the scene and showing the world what they can create. Jon describes the growth as nothing short of staggering — and Maker Faire Syracuse is proof of exactly that.
