[Noisebridge-discuss] FYI: Commercial Version of 3D printer

[Martin Bogomolni]

I met the creator of the Fabbster at Maker Faire this year.

The innovative thing about Fabbster is that he solved one of the key
problems in 3D printing.   Material Stability.   He has
injection-molded ABS (and soon PLA) sticks that are toothed.  It
allows them to be fed in a steady, controlled, and predictable manner.

The prints are very clean, and blob-free.  I noticed he was using
netfabb to slice the models at the event.

It's a nice "click-and-go" machine.
