Yes they are!
When we’re not doing hub prints, we’re printing and selling kits of them to schools to teach programming/computing - unplugged!

And yes, it’s actually 2 containers side by side, with a section cut out in the middle. Our desks are on one side, printers on the other :slight_smile:

I thought maybe it was your underground bunker where you built marble run doomsday devices!

Cheers on a great set-up and a cool business venture that teaches kids a very needed skill!

Hey guys, I’m so happy for 3D Hubs and their community. I love this great new technology and all the support available for it on 3D Hubs. I am only 12 (thanks for the Instagram feature 3D Hubs, I’m @3dprintstore) but I love inventing and 3D printing makes it so much easier and high quality. Here’s my picture:

This was taken seconds after a customer left with a 3D Hubs order! Congrats to 3D Hubs and to all of us for making this work! I have had a steady flow of orders in the last few days and my printer is getting busier and busier. #WeAre20K

(Just noticed that this is not 1600 px wide… i will take a better one in a bit with a better camera!)

Hello, I’m currently working at 3D4Makers, a filament producer, located at the 3DMakerzone in Haarlem and this is our story.

Eighteen months ago, father and son Wille started building their own filament extruder. They decided to do this because of the growing interest in 3D printing technology, the knowledge of plastic within the company and the company network. 3D4Makers is the result from a company that primarily dealt with selling plastic raw materials. Now the 3D4Makers team consists of five members, each with their own specialties.

While building the filament extruder and testing it we found out that moisture in the filament can cause problems while printing. Moisture in the filament could also lower the quality of the printing product. 3D4Makers took this problem into account while building the filament extruder.

Normally a filament extruder uses a several meters long waterbed to cool the filament. During this process the filament absorbs water. 3D4Makers chose not to use this cooling technique which means that the filament does not come into contact with water during the production process. On top of that the filament is directly packaged in a vacuum packaging after the production process.

This production process makes the 3D4Makers filament particularly suitable for FDM and FFF 3D printers. The material has an excellent adhesion between the layers. This results in great improvement of the impact resistance, strength, durability, the printing process and “warping”.

The 3D4Makers filament comes with a product information folder that contains technical information, printer settings, storage information and safety information. Basically everything you need to know.
