Wow, you really have to join the MakerBot Google Group and do some research. The people who have received their Gen 5 printers are having tons of problems with the new printers. Sure, the MakerBots are cool but only after you have spent many hours and lots of money modding them. It seems like each generation gets released with serious issues and it is up to the 3D Community to resolve them on their own? They are great after you get finished de-bugging them though. Bre is a great speaker and cheerleader and I always enjoy listening to his enthusiastic presentations.
