Brook Drumm from @Printrbot talks about his coming projects, 3D printing for education and how to listen to your community. Worth listening! http://makingsociety.com/2014/01/printrbot-3d-printing-podcast-interview/
Wow, lots of stuff coming from @Brook_Drumm !
All PrintrBot printers moving toward metal construction (starting with the Simple). And, right at the end, I heard plans for CNC foam cutter, Laser Cutter, Resin Printer (DLP), even an electric skateboard! These plans are for the next year or so though, so don’t get impatient. 
Go! Go! PrintrBot!
(Full disclosure: I have a PrintrBot Simple that I may or may not be obsessed with.)
Before Brook even started printrbot, he said his goal is to create a 3d printer for education and to get these to schools. His intentions were never for profit. I’ve never seen someone be so successful, and so generous. At first I thought his ambitions were too high, but he somehow pulled it off.
