The part that I found so relatable here is that 3D printers in libraries are absolutely transformative. It empowers people to do things like fix things on their own but also crazier things like launch a company. A couple of days ago I wrote a blog entry about how we started our company after doing some 3D printing at the library in downtown Chicago.

- nfriedly 10y agoI've been talking to the head of my local library about this - I think we'll see one installed here within a year or so. (I live in a tiny town, so the main issue is budget.)
- dmritard96 10y agothats awesome. If our company manages have some extra cash somewhat soon I am hoping to buy a printer or two for the library we used (harold washington, the main one downtown). I believe they had some sort of rental deal or something. Would love to get them one of the resin based ones.
- djloche 10y agoThis looks great - I hope your products stay hacker friendly as you grow.
- dmritard96 10y agoDefinitely. Its amazing how much people (particularly investors) worry about consumer vs maker from a perception perspective. Hoping we will be able to maintain consumer simplicity and elegance but maker hackability and general inventiveness.
