Hurricane Irene is on its way to New York City and as such we here at MakerBot are taking the necessary precautions to make sure MakerBot HQ survives the storm. Sales, support and other contact requests may be delayed until Monday at the earliest as we prepare for the worst. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank Noah for his superb engineering and design skills. MakerBot appreciates your patience. Stay safe everyone.
