Cool video. Also, our channel is dedicated to educating individuals on all of the additive technologies as well. If you’d like to click AdditiveTechnologies to the left you can watch these machines and hear a narrator explain everything as well.
You guys are geniuses incredible idea love it
You GUYS are SUPER!
CBS showed a video tonight, but the link still isn’t up on their web site. Thanks RocketBoom and YouTube!
I wish I had one of those!
YOU GUYS FAKE PROTOTYPE THIS
@dennisd7 right now. it’s frontpaged on thingverse.
We could use one of these 3-D printers to help replace goods for the people in Guatemala who have lost EVERYTHING in the recent volcanic eruption, hurricane, mudslides and floods. They don’t even have shoes now. We could start by making small things, but when it’s bigger, flip-flop sandals, or cups and plates, or whatever they need. If it could use recyclable plastic, we could use all the horrendous trash that has washed into Lake Atitlan due to the storms. CatherineTodd2 (at) gmail (dot) com.
I like 3D printing and this technology is going to help push desktop manufacturing to someday probable not in my life time Nano Factories.
I hop I will be still alive to own a Nano Factory.
Fascinating invention.
@thatguru877 ohhh $16.00 is not a lot. and… there is no 16,00$
nice bewbs ^.^
The girl is smokin hot
@thatguru877 no way!!!
@madvideogamer They also usually cost upwards of 16,00$ dollars.
“Where did the inspiration come from?” I can tell you: Solid Works.
what does the maker bot use to copy?
thats cool and all but can it print text on paper ?
Pfft, they already have things like this already. They use them to make bases for toys mostly.

On word… eBay
actually it really isnt bad for a first draft so to speak and it can be improved on and it will in the next 10 years it will be better and in 20 or 30 you will think this makes life easier one application this has is school and scale models better blue prints, art, movie applications
=Stupidest thing ive ever heard. Dumbest idea ever
Liar, the internet was invented by Al Gore everyone knows that.
I don’t want to get into text comment tennis, but I didn’t wish to knock the US as its a great country. Unfortunately you have done it again. Check out Wiki for the following . Laser – Alfred Kastler (Nobel prize 1966). Revolver & Machine Gun – James Puckle (1718). Rubber – Francois Fresneau (1755). Radio is generally attributed to Marconi (Nobel Prize 1909). Motorcycle – Michaux Perrraux (1868) or possibly Daimler. Elevator – Ivan Kulibin (1793). Tesla was Serbian.
Oh yeah, besides the photocopier, you forgot the personal computer, laptop, cell phone, email, text messaging, windows, mac os, the laser, google, youtube, facebook, landing on the moon, breaking the sound barrier, iPod, Multi touch, cotton gin, refrigeration, the revolver, machine gun, the skyscraper, elevator, Disneyland, Vegas, baseball, basketball, rubber, modern oil well, motorcycle, chewing gum, QWERTY, blue jeans, the radio, Tesla coil, zipper, YOUR FAT MOM and the list goes on and on!!
