Honestly I can say that nothing here surprised me a bit. Everything was pretty much what I had expected. MakerBot makes a quality product, despite what some people say.

Thanks for clarifying Ben. Very interesting study. Did you guys get graded on it yet? Do you use 3D printers a lot Arizona State?
Same here. It used to be whenever anyone would come over, we'd all congregate in the kitchen. Now its in my office where my 3D printer is located. I've made it a habit to usually start a cool...
Steve, you are right, but that's what is so great about technology. It advances. I think in the next 15 years we will see people printing in just about all consumer materials from their homes and...
This was a great read. Thanks for sharing Ben. Are you one of the students that did this project or the professor? How many students were involved, if you don't mind me asking?
Also, by...
Ok, this may be a weird question, but the other day I printed a bracelet for my girl friend, using makerbot PLA. She wore it for approximately 2 hours before complaining that it was itching her...
Just entered! Wish me luck :)
Looks great! I really like it. I'd love to see your final design.
Sharing won't ever happen. This is a capitalistic economy. People want to make money. It won't be changing anytime soon.
What are the other mainstream dual extruder printers out there other than the Replicator 2X?
Wow, this looks amazing. I'm looking forward to hearing more.
My buddy owns a Filabot, and I'm amazed by how simple it is to create filament using it. It would be nice if 3D printers could somehow incorporate this type of technology directly into their...
The way I see things, the future of 3D printing will be combined with CNC machines. Why not have a machine that can do it all.... Machines that can print, cut, subtract, grind, mold, etc? A machine...
I love how Ultimaker kept their promise making this open source. I'm guessing it will hurt their future sales a little but I think everyone will be happy.
Hi guys and gals. I was wondering what would be the best type of wiring to use in order to power my heatbed. I'm pretty new to the whole DIY stuff. I don't want to burn anything out, and the...
My friend just showed me this guy who decided to 3D print candles for this bosses 70th birthday. The candles were models of the boss himself. Pretty cool

Great app! My son has been fiddling around with it. We haven't ordered anything yet but probably will soon.
Che, what do you mean that it is incompatible with all of their devices?
I wish I knew exactly what "ready to have a 3D printer" meant. Does it mean that the home is physically capable to have a 3D printer, or does it mean that 33% of people would use a 3d printer if...
These are crazy looking. Anyone know what type of printer this dude used to print these out?
This is something that I find to be extremely exciting in 3D Printing. Once circuit boards can be printed, we could start seeing full electronics being printed. Imagine printing yourself an iphone...
Has anyone here purchased anything from the MakerBot Digital Store yet? To me it just seems pointless so far. How is going to pay for designs of figurines?
LOL.... that's all I can say :)
Some OK deals on MakerBot Filament. Has anyone tried the Armed Forces PLA yet?

Davo said it as well as I could myself. Metal is a liquid, whereas ABS is more of a gooey substance. If someone could figure out a way to make the consistency of the melted metal thicker that it...
Sounds like it'll be interesting. I hope that they release the full version on Youtube as well.
