I took a few on my 'phone but they aren't very good. I'd guess that Tony and co will be doing something one their blog/web site. I'd suggest you keep an eye on social media as there were a lot of bloggers and vloggers there, including Thomas Sanladerer, Richard Horm (RichRap) etc. It'll probably be a few days before people get their editing done and upload their content. A quick google search this morning came up with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTxxd7o1Vvo. There is a very short clip of the Duet stand with David's Scara and my CoreXY at around 2 minutes in.

I have to ask, what multicolour filament are you using at the show? It looks awsome.

I have to ask, what multicolour filament are you using at the show? It looks awsome.Thanks. I was printing with FilaPrint Premium PLA in Black, White, Red, Yellow and Blue (it's a 5 colour Diamond hot end). The vase is nothing special, just a square bottom and round top using the "Hull" function in OpenScad. Sliced as a single colour object with 3 perimeters, 3 bottom layers and no infill. Then I wrote a little script to go through the gcode file and randomly change tool (colour) for every layer. The "Aria" dragon and the other vase that you might have seen at the side, were printed with FilaPrint transparent PETG but the 5 colour Diamond has "issues" with anything over 200 degC which makes things difficult, so I didn't want to try and reproduce them "live" at the show.
I was pretty chuffed when two people from E3D asked if they could have one of the "banded" vases so I printed two at the show for them. The one I took with me got donated to a couple from Switzerland who are going to put it in a museum of some sort. I don't know exactly what that is all about as their English wasn't terrible good and I have no Swiss. Anyway it was all good - just hope it didn't detract too much from the purpose of the stand, which was to demonstrate the capabilities of the Duet.

Looks like a really good example of what can be done with the Duet, anyway you should be pretty chuffed with all the interest. nice one.
On a side note, I live about 7 miles from Filaprint and the two orders I placed with them both got hand delivered.
Very good service. -

It was fantastic having you on the stand Ian, thank you so much for giving up a week of your time to come to the show and bring the monster! It was the star attraction on our stand and printed like a boss for 3 days solid.

Here is another video by Joe (3D Maker Noob). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3Xnb0XzlAs
Good coverage of the Duet (and my printer) from about 7.52. Duet got about 2 minutes worth of coverage which, for a 15 minute video of the entire TCT show, is pretty good I'd say. Shame I didn't get mentioned by name so fame will have to wait :)….......
