Z Axis Extender Kit for Makerbot Cupcake by Zydac - Thingiverse Here we have a hardware upgrade that significantly modifies the capabilities of an open-source robotic 3D printer. Which is designed to be printed on that printer. And is uploaded to a social-software site for sharing fabricatable designs, forking them, and resubmitting improvements. Let’s say that again: this is a downloadable hardware upgrade for an affordable robot that can fabricate its own components. Which I am linking to, because it’s been shared on a kind of Flickr for fabricatable objects. If that isn’t mind-blowing, I don’t think I can unpack it in a way that catalogs why it’s amazing.

    The MakerBot is, apparently, an affordable 3d printer. It costs $1225. On the other hand, this is remarkably awesome.
