It was interesting to watch an open hardware company wrassle with profitability and scale vs. "being a good citizen". The two aren't mutually exclusive, though it seemed like Makerbot thought that was the case. Oh well. Goodbye Makerbot. Thanks for building upon the RepRap and for pushing 3d printing out into the mainstream. Sorry you abandoned your roots and got swallowed up into the megabusiness garbagescape.
