I really want to learn about 3d printing so I decided to get a 3d printer for the home. I preordered a makerbot mini which is expected to ship in the spring. It only does 4" x 4" but is an affordable one touch 3d printer. Unlike the CNC I'm building, I wanted my first venture into 3d printing to be easy and work right out of the box. I really like makerbot and have been following them for a little bit. I almost got a replicator 2 before they announced there three new printers. I'm excited to be able to make things inside right next to my desk unlike a CNC which I'm going to have to use on the porch. I'm going to be experimenting printing a few different parts. One of my first projects is I'd like to prototype a new version of pop bumper. I want to make a pop bumper that has a smaller footprint and maybe a different design.
