Unboxing MakerBot Replicator 2 for testing


Part of the fun in building 3DPrinterOS is testing our 3D Printer operating system with the many printers available in the world. Even though we are around a wide variety of 3D Printers every day, we still get excited every time a new one makes it into the office and gets tested.Aaron picked up a MakerBot Replicator 2 yesterday and documented the unboxing to printing process at his home in New York.[caption id="attachment_10" align="aligncenter" width="500"]
