Bummer – MakerBot order delayed

Posted on by

The good folks over at MakerBot Industries just notified me that my CupCake CNC order has been delayed.  Unfortunately, the holiday season delayed their incoming shipments of electronics.  It was a very nice and apologetic e-mail – not their fault.  They expect to ship on December 11th.

I’ve waited this long, I can wait a few more days.  ;)

MakerBot Ordered!

MakerBot CupCake CNC

Ever since hearing about the RepRap project more than a year and a half ago I’ve been dying to make/build/buy one.  This last May I got to see an actual MakerBot CupCake CNC print a lego right in front of my eyes at the 2009 MakerFaire in San Mateo.  One of the best parts was getting to meet Zach Hoeken Smith, Bre Pettis, and Adam Mayer.

Well, this morning I finally pulled the trigger.

I just ordered a CupCake CNC Deluxe kit from MakerBot Industries.

Here’s the thing: I have no experience working with electronics beyond putting batteries in the T.V. remote.  It’s going to be an adventure!

I can’t wait!!!
