We are Shipping CupCakes

This week we’re finishing up shipping out batch 12. This spring we’ve had some challenges getting all the bits and pieces for this batch but things are moving right along. We’ve had a few experiences lately where we’ve literally bought out all the stock in the world of a part and had to get the parts custom manufactured for us which takes time. It may just look like a pile of boxes to you, but for us, these boxes are bundles of potential creative energy waiting to be opened, built into MakerBots and used to make almost anything. We really can’t wait to see what you do with them and we’re working hard putting these kits together and keeping them going out the door to you!

    yep you most certainly did buy out all of the stock from all suppliers. its a nightmare tracking down sdp-si parts (belts, pullies and smooth rods)

    its now impossible to make one myself and order one in a timely manner from makerbot :)
