Makerbot
From 757Labs
The MakerBot Thing-O-Matic® 3D printer is a breakthrough in 3D printing technology. It is named the Thing-O-Matic® because it is an automatic 3D printer. All other 3D printers can only do one thing at a time while the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic® 3D printer prints thing after thing! This means that using the built machine we can design and manufacture/create using the printed materials available in the design and print area of the lab.

[edit] What is the protocol for use
This is a specialty piece of equipment and is available for active members of the lab who have been trained to use. This keeps the equipment in good working order. It is a still a hobbyist type of machine and we do expect that it will need upgrades and normal fixes due to use. If you are not sure about anything or see something strange happening, stop immediately and let Beau know so he can help diagnose.
