If anyone interested I have a good inventory amount of Makerbot 3D printers brand new specially Rep2 and Rep2X. Looking to sell them in bulk.

You can contact me via private message or email me at ayahni at gmail

I’ll let you keep this up here, but nobody in their right mind would want MakerBots right now.

@ThantiK Why do you think he’s trying to sell them? :wink:

The Rep2 ans 2x are solid printers. It’s the newer models that have problems.

What is shipping to the US from Panama?

6

Did they fall off the back of a cargo container?

Thanks @ThantiK . As @Laird_Popkin said those are solid models. I just have more than I can handle for now. @Chuck_McManis it will depend on your location and off course but the more you get the less it will cost per machine. Keep in mind that my price will be bellow retail.

@ThantiK ok I am new to 3D printing but what is wrong with MakerBot? The 1 I had used seemed very good to me.

@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty I would be interested In maybe a few. I am in my mobile and can’t PM right now. You can try to contact me though as that might work.

@Michael_Meisman
Makerbot ditched open hardware and closed, closing a lot of contributions from outside members behind them. There’s some controversy over their patents too. Their current generation of products (5th gen Replicator, Mini and Z18) are poorly built and the ‘smart’ extruders are expensive, functionally unrepairable or hard to repair, and have a high failure rate.

@Jeff_DeMaagd @Michael_Meisman Jeff majorly understated when he said “There’s some controversy over their patents too.”, the fact is they have applied for patents on other people’s creations. People who have posted models, idea, designs on Thingiverse, have found Makerbot (commonly called Takerbot) applying patents on their creations, in spite of the creators having put a Non-Commercial license, and don’t even give them credit for the work.
This is one of the reasons that people here are avoiding using Thingiverse completely and switching over to alternatives such as http://youmagine.com.

tl;dr:
Makerbot is a bunch of thieving S.O.B.s

That’s not actually what MBI did. They referenced other people’s work as prior art in their patent applications, then patented their work building on that. Patent legal language is hard to follow, admittedly.

It’s fair to say that MBI turned form open to closed development, and that’s worth discussing, certainly. But the claims of “stealing” aren’t valid.
