The Part where I move into a shop and Print a part of the machine with the machine


Sorry its been a bit since my last update but a lot has happened here. Based on the response to the kickstarter I moved back to jersey and have spent a ton of time setting up the shop and started to formalize this as a business.

We've currently purchased Maxifabber.com and gotten hosting and setting that up is taking a bit of time too. We want the site to be a complete resource for our printers including assembly instructions, recommended settings etc. It will have a wiki section for all the assembly and technical information needed, a forum so the builders and us can communicate with each other to help with building machines and showing off your machines. There is a shopping cart being implemented so you can purchase kits, printers, electronics, hot ends, and even individual plastic parts. We are also implementing a blog and our development blog will be migrated over to maxifabber.com also.

Mind you though this is all behind the scenes in progress and hasn't launched yet. But we are working on it and it will be up and running by the time you get your kits.

Also, thought you might like to see some video we shot last night. Its a bit shaky and its a cell phone video but it shows our first successful print (Maxifab case badge in low quality .350mm layer height but printed at half layers so double layers at .175mm) hanging on the prototype printer (we call it Kricket 1) as it prints its own Z Arm. Exciting stuff.



Any way stay tuned for future updates and once again I want to say thank you to all our backers. You guys absolutely rock. I'm blown away by the support you guys have shown us and we will not let you down.
