See The Replicator Live @ SXSW Interactive
SXSW 2012 is still days away, but the MakerBot Replicator has already taken Austin by storm with this crazy humungous mural, designed by the inimitable Micah Ganske. Pretty sweet, huh?
We are pumped as all get out to present The Replicator to the assembled awesomes at SXSW Interactive this year. We’re also pumped for taco trucks. And BBQ trucks. And chicken and waffle trucks. Mostly though, we’re pumped to see you guys. Here’s where you can find us:

Please tell me that mural could be available as a desktop wallpaper. I’d love to rock that in the background while RepG is doing it’s thing!

Awesome – our (frog’s) SXSW opening party is just outside ScreenBurn @ the Palmer event center where we will have our giant interactive installations that make good use of my Thing-o-Matic. Sadly, due to setting up all day Friday and Saturday, I won’t be able to make it to any of your events
But come outside and see us — we’ll have a 120′-long bar

Dang, SXSW is next week in Austin…I’m sitting here in Houston right now but will be in New Mexico next week.
Going to SXSi? Check out some MakerBot awesomeness!
[...] This is just a quick heads up to go see what 3D printing is all about if you’re gonna be down at SXSWi. MakerBot’s newest creation, The Replicator, is a dual extrusion 3D printing fabricator that takes 3D computer models and makes IRL plastic models of them. It has to be seen to be believed, so check it out in Austin this weekend! [...]

Sweet! It looks great!
MAN, I wish I was there partying and nerding it up!
@Tim Owens – I’m sure they’ll eventually get the mural and my other poster designs up on the site in wallpaper format eventually. They look great in high-res digital form!
