@Polar_3D ​​ had over 20 3D printers stolen from them last night. Lets hope those jerkoffs get what they deserve! Sorry to hear what happened William, hope the security footage helps.

The video footage we have is pretty good and clearly shows the three guys hauling them away in laundry hampers. They got away with 23 of our Polar 3D printers and one Afinia. Left the damn Makerbot Mini… of all the ones I wished they’d have taken… they just walked by it.

I think they knew what was valuable then!

that bring up the question. what are the criminals building ?

We’ve seen no use of them at this point. (Our printers are cloud based.)

Wow. That says they knew what they were after. I would think that would make tracking them down easier

Dang. Very disappointing. That wall of Polar printers running is super impressive.

Don’t worry, we plenty more of them to replace the ones that were lost. :slight_smile: We’ll have the wall back up and running this week.

Do you have a clip of them walking by the MakerBot? That would be incredible to post to 3D news sites. “Thieves steal printers, already know MakerBot is garbage, leave it”

@ThantiK Not a very clear one… you can actually see them moving around the area where it was… they walked right by the Solidoodle Press, Printrbot Simple Metal, Cube and the Makerbot Mini to grab the Afinia.

Here’s a video of them breaking in from the front door. 40 second: initial entry… 5:30 mark: second entry… 12:25: Police arrive.

@William_Steele Wow, poor printers being handled so badly…

That Dropbox link doesn’t seem to work

@ThantiK Seems to be working for me on several different machines. @Ben_Van_Den_Broeck , were you able to watch it?

Yes it works for me, mobile and PC.

I thought it was a file, turns out it’s simply a webpage. Worked on chrome.

Coming from a background in CJ, you likely know the people who stole them already and met them through a friend.

We’re pretty sure we know who did it… one is already in prison for a previous robbery and the other two are locals.

Get Em! Didn’t realize how long its been since you posted. BUT after hearing about polar 3d through your post, I think I’ll be getting one. One way to advertise ay?

@Rick_McMichael Yep, I guess it worked! :slight_smile:
