    Great! I pathetically check the website twice a day to if it has left yet. I’m like a kid anticipating Christmas. My friends can’t wait for me to get it either – they’re stacking up project ideas for me all of the time, I suspect to impress their wives and to make a bid for re-allocating their household IT budgets!

    Been buried at work making due with 110 less bodies and brains.

    Bre, congrats to you and the team on shipping so quick!

    I wish I could send you a pg 120-121 so you’d know the future is right and bright ;) It is.

    You (and MakerBot) are EPIC!

    You’re like Lewis and Clark – charting unknown territory and facing down the uncertainties with confidence and leadership, while blazing a path for others to follow. They don’t realize it, but you’ve just smoothed the path: responsible sustainable sharing is the only way MBI and other hybrid-source companies will thrive and survive in the 21st century.

    Go!

    This is the first 3D printer I’ve ever bought and I’m so dang excited about getting it. Congratulations on making it though to shipping!

    Why don’t replicators replace the Archaic practice of transplant Surgery?
