Take two of these and call me in the morning

Posted on by

There’s now both a RepRapMap and a MakerBot Map.  In a very small way the MakerBot Map is slightly more interesting.  Since each MakerBot is numbered and we can check the numbers against the batch numbers, it’s possible to get a rough idea of the growth of this type of RepStrap.

Now, if both maps had each ‘bot labeled with it’s date of first operation (date of birth?) we could watch the viral progression of the project. 1  Or, would it be more interesting to see the date a RepStrap first made a set of RepRap parts?

Either way…  infectious ideas defy innoculation!!!

  1. The NY Times had a really great Outbreak style map that you could push back and forth through time, but I can’t find it right now. [↩]

  1. I saw the makerbot map on their blog a while ago but didn’t really look at it.

    Now that I look at it a bit closer, I see that makerbot 617 almost right next door to where I’m typing this comment, here at work. Like, I take the first left out of work and I’d be driving by. I also see a reprap about 1/2 a mile away.

    Small world..

  2. I think you’ll find most MakerBot/RepRap owners would be more than willing to put on a demonstration. Why not send them an e-mail and check it out?
