Last month, I took my MakerBot down to the Get Connected TV studios and taped a segment about 3D printing that aired this week on national tv.
Now that it’s aired, I can embed the video right here:
We shot a timelapse of the Thing-O-Matic printing the show’s logo and showed off a bunch of the 3d prints I’ve made.
It was a fun experience and I think the segment turned out quite well.
Earlier this week I had the chance to get a behind the scenes tour of the Ford Motor Company’s 3D printing facilities at the Beech Daly Technical Center in Dearborn, Michigan. This facility is normally closed to visitors (I was only allowed to take photos in certain areas) so this was a pretty rare opportunity…
After printing a box full of trilego at MakerFaire last weekend, my MakerBot decided it needed a break…actually one of the pins on the heater board decided it needed to break (the HEAT pin near the middle of the photo): The constant motion of the print platform, and the wires connected to it eventually jiggled…

Cool! Thanks for that. Glad to see they’ve come to a reasonable price point. What’s next?
Loved your interview with them. Excellent. In fact, we dubbed your interview, “The best 2:49 minute demonstration of a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic” in the article we just wrote about it.

Aaaah! What a cool demo. 3D printing is really cool… can’t believe this is getting to a consumer level!
I recently ordered a miniature figurine of my avatar that was 3D printed and was amazed by the results.
Thanks for sharing this John! Super cool!
