Probably best to avoid 'MakerBot', They are the most popular right now, but for sure not the best.
They have decent marketing, but the machines are not as good as they make them to be (not that they are bad). But the most significant thing (to my mind) is the move they made to 'closed source'. (So to speak)
Well I can't afford any in the foreseeable future and beyond that. But thanks for letting me know
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
(Well one model at first, the cube, which prints at 250 microns, which is alright, but not great, the lower the number, the better the printed resolution, 125 and lower would be more high def printing, 25 microns is like ultra HD or 4K TV)
I had this on order, month for it to arrive, last minute I stopped the order. Now we are printing a 3D printer, using a 3D printer. (the one we already have)
I wrote a piece about Botobjects new 3D-printer. Don't know if it's any good, but it prints down to 25 microns. They are based in NY if anyone is interested.

ya it looks solid, and 25 Microns is pretty sweet.
“One of the major advantages of a 3-D printer is that it provides personalized nutrition,” Contractor told Quartz. “If you’re male, female, someone is sick—they all have different dietary needs. If you can program your needs into a 3-D printer, it can print exactly the nutrients that person requires.”
NASA is certainly a believer: The six-month grant comes to $125,000. The agency specifically interested in using the 3-D printer to feed astronauts on long space voyages.
“Long distance space travel requires 15-plus years of shelf life,” Contractor said to Quartz. “The way we are working on it is, all the carbs, proteins and macro and micro nutrients are in powder form. We take moisture out, and in that form it will last maybe 30 years.”

Ya, I think it's really cool, With tons of potential, maybe second or 3rd generation of it would be worth buying.

Ironic that the manufacturer may be put out of business by their own product.
Only if you promise...promise, to use the Bazooka responsibly,
It's crazy! Gotta love 'Open Source!' (but they still have ways to make money)

This is cool, F1 and 3D printing
