5th Gen - Review and Head to Head with Rep 2

[American 3D Printing]

Really great thorough review. Thank you very much!

You're welcome, and thank you.

BTW, we got the 5th Gen back from Makerbot, but they asked me to have the printer's owner be the one to unpack it, so I'm waiting for him.

I was down at MCAD for a 3D printing conference last week. MCAD is the Denver area authorized Stratasys reseller, they sell all the enterprise class machines like the Fortus and Objet and the low end ones like the Uprint and Mojo. I got chatting with the sales guy, and he (always trying to make a sale) mentioned that Stratasys has lowered the price of the Mojo to $6k. It used to be $10k. One of the things I have heard "on the street" is that Makerbot Rep2s were KILLING Mojo sales, so you can see where the price increase on the 5th Gen combined with the drop on the Mojo were probably tangentially related.
