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

[Gopiballava Flaherty]

I didn't talk to the guy, but the printer he had on display was putting out some rather sub-par looking prints. I don't remember the precise issues.

His theoretical descriptions of how well his solution was supposed to work sounded good. Did you get to handle the output and watch it print?

I saw the printer in Sunday afternoon, so perhaps it had been poked and prodded by too many people by then.

Thanks,
