MOAR CUPCAKES! Or, am I being a glutton?

Posted on by

MakerBot just announced they’re dropping the price on the MakerBot Cupcake CNC Ultimate kits to a ridiculously low $455.00.

I already own a Cupcake CNC, named “Bender.”  He’s been fully upgraded with an automated build platform, MK5, and a few printed upgrades as well.  (Right now it has a Unicorn instead of the MK5 installed.)  I already own a Thing-O-Matic, named “Flexo.”  My Thing-O-Matic is fully upgraded with a MK6 stepper extruder and a few minor printed upgrades.

Do I really need more plastic printing production capacity?  I don’t know.  Do I have a new name for a potential new robot lined up?  No, I really don’t.

Do I really want another 3-axis CNC robot?  Yes.  Yes, I do.

One thought on “MOAR CUPCAKES! Or, am I being a glutton?”

  1. I do, too, but I am forcing myself not to buy one until my CupCake prints a set of WORKING Sells/Prusa Mendel parts–which may never happen. Also, I want an iPad 2 (with the announcement of iOS 5, the iPad 2 looks a lot more useful to me).
