    Huge Announcement Coming from MakerBot.......

    So according to their twitter account:

    Life always finds a way. Stay tuned for a Jurassic-sized announcement.
    I'm wondering what this could be. Any guesses?

    I'll take a while stab at this considering it is Makerbot and not Stratasys tweeting the message. I'm guessing they release 3D models to print out the various dinosaurs on a Makerbot Replicator. I mean what else could it be?

    Sounds like a good guess Larry. I wonder when they plan on making the announcement. I would think sometime today....

    'Jurassic' maybe meaning they are going to go back in time when they could print ABS effectively?

    Hmm, maybe they are 3D printing the Dinosaurs? Or something related to that?

    Maybe they are releasing the 3D designs of all the dinosaurs in the move?

    Are you all ready for boring! Gigantic means they have a new filament spool size that has more filament on it! WOW, I am really excited! NOT! Russ

    OK, by putting 2 and 2 together, I'm pretty confident that this will be a collection of dinosaur bones added to the MakerBot Digital Store.
    If you visit the digital store (digitalstore.makerbot.com), you will see this image on the page:


    The dinosaur is identical to the one in the last MakerBot tweet


    The questions that remain are:
    When?
    How Many Dinosaurs?
    How much money?
