Would this infringe upon Lego patents?

Do you guys find that 3D printing has been catching on with older generations moreso than computers did 20-25 years ago? I've found that my parents and even my grandfather have been finding 3D...

Are there any uses of 3D printing pens other than to make interesting looking art? Has anyone seen anything that has been made with a 3d printing pen like the 3doodler, that has gone to use in ways...

Isn't SLA printed objects stronger? At least that's what I would assume. Are they not waterproof either?

I swear by the Bowden's. Perhaps I'm biased because that's all I've been using for the past year, but I think they are the best.

This is a really good sale, just wish that they would permanently drop their prices. MakerBot is beginning ot price themselves out of the market IMO. There are too many affordable 3D printers now...

I can't see 3D printers dropping any lower than the $250 the MOD-t is currently at. I think this will be the bottom line. However, I do think that SLA printers will continue to drop, as they are...

I'm very impressed at the results I have seen from this printer thus far. Formlabs just recently posted some sample prints that are really great looking: ...

I just wanted to let my voice be heard. I'm not a huge fan of Makerbot but I don think that what they are doing is not exactly their fault.

Makerbot has 2 choices here. Either patent these...

I agree with Geoff on this one. The name definitely needs changing.

I'm using the E3D V6. So what do you suggest doing to prevent this from happening in the future?

So when I'm done printing with my E3D hotend, I have an issue. It seems almost impossible to get the filament out of it. In the on other extruders I've been able to just pull it out after heating. ...

OK, this is starting to bother me. I feel like I waste so much plastic when 3D printing. Almost so that I kinda want to give up. I'm wondering what you guys do when you have a failed print? Do...

Makerbot is really taking a ton of heat. Just when you think it is dying down, there are a bunch of people starting new crap. More and more media outlets are picking up on this as well. I...

Thanks CaptainObvious. I just grabbed myself some UHU, and I must say, it works very nicely! Thanks for the tip.

A local college in my town has a ton of older 3D printers such as cupcakes, mendels, etc. The faculty in charge was asking me what he should do with them. He was just going to throw them out...

Did anyone get to see this in person at MakerFaire? I'm really excited about what this will bring to 3D printing. So many more options to choose from, as far as materials go. i'm most excited...

JRDM, I agree. Prices on the MINI are too high, especially when you consider the Micro3D and the MOD-t that are coming out later this year.

LOL, I'd make a huge lineup of FFF printers and try an print out large scaled items that fit together. I'd probably start some massive robohand factory in there, and hook up with some organizations...

I am not very familiar with the ONE UP. Has anyone gotten one yet?

Yeah, definitely couldn't do a body part without severely hurting yourself :)

Here is a photo from ZEUS at MakerFaire this past weekend.

Pretty nifty indeed. Here is the video tutorial

I believe that Neri Oxman was working on a 3D printing Silkworm model. I...

I think most small businesses tend to use 3D printing for final products, whereas larger companies use it for the prototyping phase of manufacturing, and then use traditional manufacturing for the...

The organizers are 8 pieces, so you don't have to print the entire thing in one go.

I've seen so many different Raspberry pi cases over the past several months. This is one of the best ones I've seen though.
