    Why would a company make something that would lower their profit in the long run?

    Excellent point. It's really ashame. Although they would sell their "recycler" machine, they wouldn't have the long term profits of repetitive sales of filament.

    We stopped buying filament from Makerbot anyway... It's way too expensive for what it is...

    I just noticed that the Filabot is now available on Amazon.com for $439 (amazon prime).

    However it is currently out of stock.

    It seems like it would be more to the point to print directly from a recyling hopper and forget about filament altogether.

    What would be more to the point would be reports from people that have used ANY of them, not just reports from the salespeople.
