[ENDER-3 DIRECT DRIVE KIT GIVEAWAY]
We printed off some things for our Christmas tree! There wasn't much out there for Kwanzaa so we designed a kinara (candle holder).
We're still around, just haven't been posting anything on YouTube!
Not certain on the format, but hopefully we'll start creating more content in the near future. Thanks to everyone who reached out during our hiatus!
The repair side of the business is now a separate entity named "Fargo 3D Printer Repair."

We shot this podcast back in November (some elements are from August). Despite the late upload, we were excited to share this one!
A bit late, but here's our CES 2018 wrapup!
Snapmaker
We'll be back at CES in about a week!
Last month, Eric and some of the F3DP team went to a trade show called Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) in Minneapolis. Desktop Metal, Stratasys and 3D Systems were all well represented.
Our first and favorite booth was RP America. They are resellers of UnionTech, Rize and Desktop Metal. They also work with an electroplating company called RePliForm.
We saw another booth called Productivity. They are a machine tool supplier which had Desktop Metal, Stratasys and a FOBA laser on display.
A few FaroArms were also on display. Two booths: one for reverse engineering, one for inspection/analysis.
Marcus went into a bit more detail about Rize.
A few months ago, 3D Hubs introduced the "Express Checkout." It was a way to streamline the checkout process for newer, less experienced users. Although it may have been a great fit for some, advanced users and the hubs themselves were not pleased.
50 hubs were chosen by 3D Hubs to do the bulk of these orders and would be chosen automatically. Due to an error in the hub auto-selection, Fargo 3D Printing ended up getting a deluge of orders. We just couldn't keep up.
Although the Express Checkout has since been updated, it has alienated a large amount of smaller hubs. We will continue using 3D Hubs in the future but are currently not focusing on custom 3D printing.
"This is getting out of hand"
Long time no see! We return with "season 3" and a fresh face.
John and Eric compare two very similar printers which emerged around the same time: BLACKBELT 3D and Printrbelt.
BLACKBELT is a Kickstarter printer that was funded back in July and looks to be a good fit for a printing bureau.
