Attached to: Breaking Up With MakerBot  It's interesting that
the author uses a time killing game as a yard stick for the
waiting period - as if the time spent while printing was 'dead'
and couldn't possibly be used for anything productive.  That's
his point - for the purposes of using the makerbot, it is dead
time. You can't iterate before you have something, and you can't
have something for 5 hours with a 33% chance that hardware
failure was the problem and not the design.  What we're really
seeing here is the impatience of the Now Generation. What? You
have to wait -thirty minutes- for something to be produced??
OMG!  That's basically the same as having to wait 5 hours,
right?  Have these people any idea how long it takes to produce
something through conventional CNC, let alone hand fabrication?
How many amateurs are willing to burn virtually all of their
free time for a day to do those
