Please also read the comments on this article and help people understand why this is wrong. The general public don’t seem to understand License terms at all, so without education many of Makerbot’s customers will simply not understand or care what all this ‘fuss’ is all about.

Hi Richard,

I posted this on the makerbot user group this morning after reading your latest blog.

Totally behind you all on this one.

Cheers, steve

@Steve_Johnstone Thanks for posting, It did make me smile that Ryan Carlyle didn’t seem to read my bog post but assumed -

"they showcased my idea on Thingiverse, then stole it the next day, is kind of silly. "

When I stated my design was on Thingiverse for 28 days Before the 20th Sep, and before that I had various demonstrations and discussions about it and also how to implement it / software / gcode etc.

Previous Research at Bath University on mixing extruders was going on in Feb 2012, that was also openly documented on the RepRap Blog.

Onwards…
