Out-of-work autistic brat and AVRFreak here.

I dropped by the local junk shop to see if he had anything interesting and found a MakerBot Replicator. Couldn't leave it there, so now it's mine.

Has 1 1/2 rolls of filament, red and black. There's a dual head and heated bed. Seems to be missing the power supply. I'll see if the junk shop guy has it in a box of junk. In case he doesn't, what are the power supply requirements? PS connects to this round 4pin connector on the back?

What do I plan to do with it? Hmm... I'm always making electronic things, playing with "G-gauge" trains, sculpting people from polymer clay and making other odds and ends. I don't think I'll have any trouble thinking of things to do with it, but first need to get it going.

Story seems to be a guy broke up with his girlfriend, had to move out of her house and dumped everything he owned off at the local junk shop. There are a couple pieces of plastic here that look like it printed once.
