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

[Martin Bogomolni]

Yeah, the printer suffered a heater failure Sunday.   I actually still
have a couple prints from the machine from my Maker Faire 'goodie bag'
(I tried to get all the printers to make a copy of the same thing from
thingiverse to compare: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11682 )
