With a funding goal of only $25,000, PrintrBot was able to raise $830,827, which is 3,323 percent more of the original funding goal. This 3D printer also supports use of multiple colors of PLA to make more interesting pieces. Since it’s just made up of frames and a hot bed, you can expand the printer if you wish to create larger objects. The RigidBot will come either fully assembled or not, if you want to brave assembling it on your own.

The last post from August stated that Lundwall is just coming back from China.
#3D PRINTERS KICKSTARTER UPDATE#
Those who pledged $299 are expecting to get their RigidBot 3D printer any day now, but it seem there is some issue with the production as people on Facebook are nagging the RigidBot team for an update as to when the 3D printer will be delivered to their doors. Kickstarter’s Most Successful 3D PrintersĬreated by Michael Lundwall, this 3D printer project was able to raise $1,092,098, 3,466 percent higher than its original funding goal of $31,500 thanks to its 1,952 backers. So here’s a round up of the most successful 3D Printer projects on Kickstarter, in honor of Manufacturing Day. Perhaps the most influential marketplace for 3D printing is Kickstarter, a hub for entrepreneurs and excitable buyers ready to bring the future into the present. These consumer-ready printers hold the promise of venturing into the world of manufacturing without having to worry about labor fees, overhead costs, transport or middlemen. To celebrate, October 4th has been established as Manufacturer’s Day, and we here at SiliconANGLE think the greatest homage to manufacturing’s future is a brief look back at the world of 3D printing.

These mechanical wonders are here to stay, irreversibly empowering mankind with the magic of manufacturing. The Industrial Revolution set us on a path into the future, walking hand-in-hand with machines.
