    What would you like to see MakerBot 6th Generation Printers Include?

    Let's hear what everyone wants the next generation of 3D printers from Makerbot to include.

    Here are mine:
    - Increase print speed by 2X
    - standard dual extruders on all printers
    - new technology other than FDM (FFF). I'd like to see SLS specifically.

    It'd be great to have a very precise final output -> a SLA/DLP type techno (SLS seems not exactly home friendly to me).

    I'm definitely in favor of a 25liter+ print volume.

    A mature software and hassle free process (no tinkering with cleaning products and bed taping).

    A smart interface/slicer : pause, material quantity check, failure recovery, ...

    And, while we're at it, why not the integration of very innovative open source programs on the web like the fantastic Make it stand !

    I think we'd all love to see a huge increase in speed, but I'm not sure if FDM printers will ever be able to get much faster. So that coincides with SLS technology, but I'm not so sure that SLS will ever be that feasible for an at-home printer.

    How about one that works?

    Wireless printing? Ditch the cables.

    Forget all this stuff, I know of one killer feature they absolutely must​ add. Make it print.

    How about a return label?
