Sorry to hear about the problems at makerbot ... This company really got out in front of 3D printing and made people excited about it.  That being said, maybe the growth was a little to aggressive.  I remember seeing a makerbot store here in Boston in the last few years-- a lot of people watching the machines in awe, but no one was actually making any purchases (as in the printed items they were trying to sell).  It just seemed more like an expensive showroom rather than a store.  So cool, though!<p>I&#x27;m still bullish on the maker space.  I saw a functioning prototype of this 3in1 machine in Pittsburgh last year.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kickstarter.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;boxzy&#x2F;boxzy-rapid-change-fablab-mill-laser-engraver-3d-p" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kickstarter.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;boxzy&#x2F;boxzy-rapid-chang...</a><p>CNC routing and laser cutting&#x2F;etching included and priced much better.  The maker machines will just get better and less expensive and I can&#x27;t wait.
