New to the MakerBot Store: Rob Giseburt’s 3g 5d Shield
We are very pleased to announce that we have received a shipment of Rob Giseburt’s ingenious 5d shield for the Cupcake/Gen3 motherboard. If you’re not familiar with the project, have a look here or here for full details.
This is small board that adds another stepper axis to the Cupcake/Gen3 motherboard so you can more easily add a stepper-based extruder to your setup.
This community-supported project is a great way for advanced users to add new capabilities to their Cupcakes. Check it out on the store!

The test machine for this shield was the CCCKC Hackerspace’s Cavebot. I’ve been printing with this upgrade for a couple months now, and I can tell you that it’s great! Volumetric printing is the way to go, and this shield gets you there!
