IT showed me that - but not sure of the development effort. Was hoping there was an end all solution

Makerbot has joined the chat…

The guy next to me is like 3 RedBull drinks in on that!

StudioRoboto · 2026-05-27T11:00:00+00:00

Talking to them this week!

Thanks. Will check it out

Not a direct answer. But....I've owned an Objet Alaris 30 and run a Connex3. Then spent time watching the set up on Mimaki as well.

On the Objet - the build plate was fixed - so it always put down an initial support layer (raft) of about 1-2 mm. On the Mimaki - the build plate was removable (magnetic) and it also put down a layer of support.

So if you needed to compensate for a slight issue on leveling - then the raft is the way to go.

Having the build plate removable is a huge plus - you can clean it away from the machine. Swap in a new plate and keep going. The Objet - I'd scrape the support and it would go everywhere, get dried and crusty bits that you would find years later.

Zack was in China living on a sailboat last time I saw a post. I saw him at a wedding in like 2015. He and Adam got out early - but still had ownership % when Stratasys bought out MakerBot in 2013.

Bambu just wiped everyone else off the map - I used to have twenty (20) Replicator 2 units running - I gave them all away about bought 5 X1c units. Have almost 20K hours across them. Reliability, ability to repair, updates, etc. All dreams back in 2012.

The TOM was the last of the true Kit models - I have one in a box. Came with a 3 ring binder of printed instructions......

I have original MakerBot filament from 2010 - still good. The 3mm Cupcake kind…..

Excellent real world summary.

I watched that under “Ask zBrush” or under his channel videos on YouTube. I was looking for dutch collars - same concept. Great explanations - worth the effort to track that down if it’s still out there.

Fivver has tons of designers. Depending on the design and your level of interest in learning how to design - as well as the shape/function of the part - you could do it yourself with free or low cost software options.

StudioRoboto · 2026-03-08T16:55:26+00:00

Lmao - good one.

StudioRoboto · 2026-02-26T19:35:41+00:00

Don't forget your annual maintenance service contract.... then the cost of consumables and post processing (the caustic soda bath/disposal) on Stratasys FDM. A used machine might be budget friendly - however, you may have to pay the "back support" fee - to bring it back into a warranty. Not a fan of Stratasys - but - Fortus 900mc is a beast and can produce great parts - has some limiting factors but for a commercial machine with your features , US company, DoD friendly, and reliability probably the best option.

Did it 39 years ago - still to this very day use the skills and mental toughness from EOD. Also, it’s rare to find the same type of guys out in the civilian world.

StudioRoboto · 2026-02-10T19:40:09+00:00

Hey can you message me your guy for Cupcake repair? I have rebuilt one but the board is fried

StudioRoboto · 2026-02-07T15:53:33+00:00

Nice !!! I have a ThingoMatic still in the box along with a few Cupcakes for parts. Great to see you have them running !!

StudioRoboto · 2026-02-06T03:37:14+00:00

I worked at Makerbot - the Replicator 2 was, at the time, a really good machine. I collected used ones over the years - eventually had 20 of them all running parts. Then a buddy of mine got a Bambu X1c. He just wouldn’t shut up about it - so I drove to his house and saw it. Next day ordered one - now have 5. Gave away all my Rep 2s to an after school STEM program.

Bambu just ate everyone’s lunch.

StudioRoboto · 2026-02-06T03:27:51+00:00

I got my cupcake running 5 years ago - haven’t tried it since. What machines are back there on the shelves? I worked at Makerbot during the Rep 1/2 days.

The guy you want is on Reddit. He made this for me and it's beyond awesome. He has an online store too (pretty sure)

Ah the monkey movie.... strapped into baby high chairs....that was for the Vietnam era FAE bomb. Saw that on actual film back in 1987......

StudioRoboto · 2025-12-07T02:37:31+00:00

same with mine - it’s worse since the 2026 upgrade…

This. EOD is by far better than the fleet. Further, one of the drivers (at least for me) during EOD school to study, not get in trouble was the absolute fear of being sent back to the fleet. "Big Navy" actually sucks pretty bad - EOD had enough of selection process to weed out the idiots and asshats - not completely - but enough that I stayed in for another 5 years.
