Many of you have been asking for 3D Printing to have its very own section. Well Here it is!
I'm very excited to see what amazing Designs everyone has been creating and printing.
There have been a few changes to the robots recently, and the EZ-Bits STL's will be published online in the EZ-Cloud shortly. The Revolution Shipping Update video showed some of the changes to JD. Here are some photos up-close.
This is our 3D Printer Farm!
We have 5 Makerbot Replicator 2's. They have reached a collective run-time of over 3500hrs
and my desk were I design all of our plastic parts.
Don't forget to share your 3D printers with the community we would love to see them
Nice! Will be upgrading a FlashForge dual with the sailfish flash soon and then plan to print the newer .stl goodies in the EZ-Cloud
Awesome @cory. Thanks again for hearing us and making our wishes a reality. So,,,, ez-bits? stls? eta?
A six legged Quad Copter! How cool!
I am happy that you have made a section for us.
In looking through Project Showcase and found this... Traxbot cool 3d printing and using v3 parts.

You are just making it even more tempting for me to phone Audi up and say "you know what, the car's fine it doesn't need a service, let's cancel it for now" and buy myself a makerbot instead...
Can't wait to see what everyone does with their 3d printers
I would love the idea of a 3d printer and probably would opt for MakerBot as well... The problem is I don't know enough about the software in order to use it... Not saying I couldn't learn... I just wouldn't know where to start. Ok, so stupid question. Since makerbot is kind of the go-to machine, does it come with design software or do I have to spend $$$ more and then learn complicated design software in order to use it?... I was kind of hoping for a neat "all in one package"... Hardware and easy to use software...
You can design with plenty of free software. Actually the only you have to spend money on is the printer and filament. I've not used makerbot's software since the printer is about twice the cost of the solidoodle 2 I can afford. But you can download their software and drop some stl files into it and play around with it. I don't have my printer yet but I've been playing with the software for a couple of weeks now.
Do some research on 3d printing 101. Read up a bunch. Then watch you tube videos.
I'd break the whole thing down for you more but I have dinner calling me and it's using my girlfriends voice so I gotta run.
