Martha Vader - A MakerBot sings the imperial march and makes

We got ABS into the MakerBot store (store.makerbot.com) and Marius and Philip of the Whatever Lab in Vienna were visiting and they set up the MakerBot named Martha Vader to sing the imperial march and make a Darth Vader Head. The force is strong with this one.

@edlikestoboogie Even better: make your own RepRap! (actually building a Prusa! Kinda fun!)

[edlikestoboogie]

Be aware! Makerbot is very shotty in design. The quality of this printer is not worth $1000. AVOID!. If you want a better RepRap clone, look for the A1 technologies RapMan, or look at Purple Platypus 3d Printers.

@AJollyGoodFelon The MakerBot doesn't use weedeater line, that stuff is made out of nylon, the Makerbot uses plastic filament that is made out of ABS, PLA or HDPE which is completely different. It's not something you just buy off the shelf, you need to find a manufacturer willing to extrude the plastic into filament which you would have a hard time doing unless you were to place an order for a few hundred pounds of the stuff. Also MakerBot sell it for $10 a pound and not $80 as you suggest.
