        • A HUGE THANK YOU to Joe and Chris at Thinglab. I am new to the world of 3D printing and have now had my Replicator 2X for 1 month completing 200 hours of print time with only minor fine tuning required, Joe has been there to help me out with advice along the way. The team at Makerbot also deserve a HUGE THANK YOU, the Replicator 2X is a great product and is easy to use. They have also been quick to reply to any questions relating to their software (Makerware), I cannot wait to see what Makerbot come up with next. Keep up the great work!
