yes, i was at the opening event for the makerbot store. it qwas nice to see so many people interested.
i also read about the upcoming staples option which should be interesting, curious to see how they implement it and what software they'll use.
one other thing that just popped up yesterday on 29th and 6th is a Make/3DEA shop for the month with an Ultimaker and UP! printer.
I like to think I'm aware of the NYC goings on for the 3D print community, but still have so mich to learn and people ro meet.
I've also been keeping tabs on the LIC development but wasn't aware that it would offer a store front for pickup/prints.
In this case I am actually wanting to get ceramics done. Will the LIC shop offer the full array of Shapeway materials?
