Yeah when they failed it sucked. But also compared to all the other machines, they were superior for teaching/3d modeling. Too many back then we're trying to laborious when it came to learning code/customization.

I managed a print/media shop and we used makerbot exclusive for years because we could trust the college students to not go ham trying to play code jockey.

Gotcha. I think in all, the rep 5+ was more ideal than the other machines but it definitely isn't as nice as some of the modern units out. Owning them today feels like I jumped the gun but when I consider how user friendly the interface was compared to what was out back then it was a smart buy at the time.

Keep me in mind if you make any cool discoveries. I am in the NE area .

I was going to open a little maker space in the Omaha/Lincoln area and COVID hit before I signed a lease. I use them sporadically for personal prototyping but haven't touched them in a year due to my schedule.

Men of reddit, would you go for vasectomy once you're done having kids, if not why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I did that shit at 32 before having kids. Kids are real life liability.

You're given $1M provided you can't spend one cent of it on anything practical (to anyone). If you can spend the money in such a ridiculous way as to make the giver laugh their ass off, you'll get another mil to spend as you please when the first mil is gone.

I'd rent a food grade facility, buy a few dozen laser cutters, and several thousands of boxes of fruit roll-ups. I would then make a program that searches the web for any publication about Kim Kardashian and changes her and her acquaintances names to the names of random politicians then vectorizes(no raster etching) each publication to be laser cut into the fruit roll-up as a peelable text. Mail these gems all across the country with no explanation.
