How MakerBot Industries can help RepRap even more

Some people have suggested MakerBot is somehow stealing thunder from the RepRap project. 1  Here’s a super simple way every MakerBot sold could, in a very small way, help the RepRap project.

Why not put a copy of every Mendel part as an STL on the SD card that comes with the MakerBot?  Actually, why not put Spacexula’s set of Mendel production STL’s?

This is a cheap and fast way to disseminate plans for RepRap files to people who are actually capable of making them.

  1. I totally disagree, but there you go. []
