Has anyone installed this yet? I'm always hesitant to try out the experimental versions.

The iOS app is now out for the Makerbot users - see https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/makerbot/id881138579?ls=1&mt=8

Is anyone from this forum in Detroit for the RAPID convention? I'd love to hear what cool things are there related to 3D printing. I wanted to go so badly but unfortunately had some other things...

I love the fact that the president and Whitehouse are promoting "makers". They are holding a makerfaire at the whitehouse on June 18th. Here is a really well done video introducing it:

So New Matter has announced their stretch goals. ...

I agree with Roxy. I'm amazed by just how quickly 3D printing has progressed this year alone. I have no doubt that it will quadruple in 10 years.

For those of you that are looking to pick up a SainSmart RAMPS Kit, massdrop has one that is currenlty $74.99. However if more people buy it, the price will drop to $69.99. So far 28 have been...

Does anyone know what the Dev Kits consist of? I hear that they will begin shipping in July, and was wondering what the price is and what they will consist of. Do we need to put them together...

I've used a 3Doodler before. I had fun with it but wasn't all that impressed. I'd like to know what the benefits of the LIXPen is over the 3Doodler.

I've been hearing a lot of negativity surrounding the 5th generation MakerBot Replicators. My little brother now wants a MakerBot, and I don't know if I should suggest him getting a Replicator 2, 2X...

I just use what is recommended and I never really have a problem. These software packages that we use can compute all kinds of scenarios, in a matter of seconds. That's why I always just use what...

This is very nice. Where did you print this? Did you use a service like Shapeways? What is the size of it in inches?

These look very good. It's an interesting theory to print them using ink jet. I think that 3D printings next big leap will be the ability to let anyone print the personalized circuit boards. We...

Does anyone know for sure how good the quality of these m3d printers will be? I usually live by the phrase "You get what you pay for". However, prices for fdm printers are going to drop...

The only quality way I know of is quite complicated. It is by using liquid nitrogen to freeze the object and then putting it in a blender. I'm not sure a blender by itself would work. Haven't...

I'd love to see this in action. If you print one out, be sure to make a video of how it works. This has a lot of potential :)

They have those shirts that do this. I'm sure someone will come up with a crazy idea to use this stuff for. Maybe logos on bathing shorts, or surf boards, or parts of a car?

I tend to stay away from chinese companies like this. No refunds, high shipping, and usually poorly made products.

Looks like Gen 5 of the Replicator has begun shipping today. Has anyone preordered one, or planning on getting one?

I think 3D printing will never be popular with those people that are currently in the 35+ age range. However, I think that those ages 20 and younger will be the ones to make 3D printing extremely...

Do you guys think that SLA 3D Printing (with resin) has a future in this industry or do you think that other methods like FDM and Selective Laser Sintering will beat it out? I keep going back and...

I know there was news last week that a company was working on building a 3D printer that was up to 500 times faster than current models. However, how long do you guys think it will be before we can...

I have a friend that has an UP! printer. He is really in love with it. I have seen it print a few times and it does a really good job.

Just saw this video on youtube. This company faBrickation is combining 3D Printing with LEGOs to speed up the entire process. We all know that printing things can take over 10 hours, but if you...

How many people are expected at this show? I'm interested in going to network a little bit as an designer who hope to start getting a bit more serious.
