[Vanhackspace] 3D Printer

[Joe Bowser]

Hey

The guys who built the MakerBot are the Co-Founders of NYC Resistor, a well
known private New York Hackerspace.  We plan to get the tools to build these
in the future once we fully ramp up our build nights.

I do know that Metrix:CreateSpace in Seattle builds their own version of
this device if you're looking for a closer/cheaper supplier  ($750 USD is
pretty expensive!)

The thing I like most about the MakerBot is the ability to add a
Frostruder.  It makes it fun for parties. :)

We've also had a reprap in the space as well.  (http://www.reprap.org).
Zach Hoken, one of the co-founders of MakerBot has also developed much of
the hardware for this as well.
