How much does the plastic cost? Will it break? What's the biggest item you can make? What kind of software do you need? How does it work (like a computer-controlled hot glue gun). We talk with John Dimatos and Bre Pettis of MakerBot Industries (www.makerbot.com) about their latest 3D printer -- the $1750 Replicator. Don't miss the Bloopers at the end. You'll learn the basics of 3D printing, including how the Replicator works (and what happens when you kick the power cord during a project).

  • I thought that music that kicks in when he says "It's amazing..." was sarcastic.

  • @ItCameFromOuterHemel My apology -- This was a bit of an inside joke -- John seemed to be getting a bit serious ... but it was not meant to be mean-spirited.

  • @childrenstech That music was right out of iTunes.

  • What was the quality of the print like? Would it need sanding down to look decent, or is the print acceptable right after the machine had finished?

    Nice vid :)

  • @mishikwest Fool...

  • They treat it like rocket science. 20 years ago I used a similar unit.

  • No, I thought it was pretty funny.... I just wasn't sure if it had been added in post or was some music that just happened coincidentally at the show! I came to the conclusion it was the latter...

  • Bravo!
