Matherox, we sell American made PLA filament for $26.95/kg. It's good stuff too: 100% virgin material with +/- 0.05mm diameter and ovality tolerance. It's wound on a normal 8" spool, so no super...

Hey jtice. It's a little above your price point of $25, but for $26.95 we sell Shark PLA. It's just standard, normal NatureWorks 4043d PLA filament in very basic colors. It's American-made here in...
I absolutely think this is justified. I understand why MakerBot did it, but I sure as heck don't think it's right. I'm a MakerBot reseller. We stopped selling MakerBot for over 6 months after the 5th...
.............Wat?
I'm not sure if it was mentioned in here before, but Simplify3D has made all of the difference in our print quality. Don't get me wrong, MakerBot Desktop is OK, but we had some major print quality...
We just launched our new 3D printing material made from sustainably-source Ingeo PLA that comes loaded on a 100% bio-based spool. One of the things we're really excited about is the tolerance of the...
Regarding the glue: make sure that you clean the buildplate (wash off the glue) before every build. Completely cover your build area in glue, let it dry. It shouldn't be liquidy or shiny anymore. At...
We use this thingiverse file now for helper disks, works pretty well: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:346317
It's certainly interesting looking and was a nice surprise to see running at the show. I haven't dumped my camera to my computer yet, but I have quite a few pictures and videos of it in operation.

I guess if anyone can do it, he can. I just don't know how he'll deal with filament volume consistency. It's already an issue in commercial-grade filament production (keeping diameter and ovality to...
Call up Cubify support. It's a stupid issue with the microchips in the cartridge. They'll send you out new filament cartridges. From my experience, the cartridges have about a 10-20% chip failure...
The setup in our shop! 3979
This aligns with what we've heard from MakerBot employees (both current and former) at various tradeshows.
It's not a huge mystery that this is why MakerBot now encourages customers to purchase...
Here are some details and what $5,995 gets you. Should start shipping Early 2015.
Early build Ember 3D printer
- X/Y Resolution: 50 microns
- Z Resolution: 25 microns

Full disclosure, I resell CubePros via Fargo 3D Printing. Shameless plug out of the way, here's my thoughts.
If you consider a Replicator 2 unreliable, you're either using it wrong, putting cheap...
Wait for the LulzBot Mini to be released, 6" x 6" 6" build volume, auto-leveling, runs a modified version of Cura instead of Slic3r, so super easy to use. Plus it has an all-metal hot-end, so you can...
Not the dual extruder kit. Have you considered a MakerBot Replicator 2X? It uses HIPS as a dissolveable support material, we've used that with pretty good results. The HIPS peels off very nicely from...
We (Fargo 3D Printing) will be there! We'll have a booth setup, so definitely come and say hello!
Long story short, we fix MakerBot Replicator 2's. Now that MakerBot doesn't produce them anymore, they're tricky to find, and they're our favorite machines to run in our print cluster. We offer...
Hey Weldingrod,
I'd recommend the TAZ 4, for sure. Aside from seeming to meet your size requirements (it's 11.7" x 10.8" x 9.8"), they're constantly innovating, plus everything they do is open...
I had a chance to see this thing in action yesterday at LulzBot HQ. It's a neat little machine, it's autoleveling sequence is something cool to behold. It doesn't change the bed's levelness, but...
