MakerBot Assembly Time Lapse

Looking at a time lapse really gives you an idea of what’s involved in putting together a MakerBot.

This is certainly not an over-engineered machine. Rather, it is designed to be just enough — finding a careful balance between cost and functionality — and that is what makes this such an elegant solution. The design of the MakerBot is very clever, primarily using laser-cut plywood that bolts together.

I can make one in around 4 hours, but Joel Miller’s 11 hours is pretty typical of how long it takes to put one together the first time. Thanks Joel!

    Hi,
    I’m trying to contact you through the contacts module on the store as I received a shipment with a missing item. I already sent 2 messages and received no answer. I’m getting concerned about this strange behaviour.
    The order number is 100005012 and the missing item is the 5 lbs white plastic.
    Let me know.
    Fabio

    Seen a lot of these time leaps, but not one of the MB actually building something…
