    Buy 2 3D Printers & MakerBot Will Give One to School Of Your Choice

    MakerBot is making it easy for schools to receive and also purchase 3D printers in the form of the MakerBot Replicator. With the Buy Two, Give One Promotion, customers who buy two MakerBot Replicator desktop 3D printers can then have a refurbished one donated to the school of their choice. Schools can also buy two 3D printers and then give the third one to themelves. With this program, MakerBot offers comprehensive training and support for educators.

    Or you could buy 4 brand new Polar 3d printers, $500 cheaper then buying one Makerbot replicator printer with the education discount of $600 per printer.

    For about the cost of 2 Makerbot printers, you could buy 10 new Polar 3d printers.

    And do you have to buy the 5th gen printer ?
    Or can you buy something that works ;-)

    Also not so sure about the spinning plate system.
    Why not just buy 5 creator pro's :-)

    Or 4 cel robox's - they actually meet the health and safety regulations for schools.
    And you'd still have £500 left for filament and other necessities

    I think that most schools have enough problems already. Don't add to the pile with such a poisoned thing. Or be nice, give them something that works.

    In a pragmatic way : save your tax money by not putting them in on such schemes.
