CES 2013 3D Printer Companies
Makerbot and 3D Systems booths
A showdown is starting to form The MakerBot vs Cubify brands !
Makerbot had a booth that was located with a large Marvel brand wall behind them. This caused a lot of bumping into people trying to get past the booth.
Cubify Brand They are showing they wish to be a big player in this market, and will spend the money to get there.
Cubify had two booths for 2013. One very expensive booth located around the corner from the very large Sony booth, and the 2nd booth located in the other Convention space.
From the first booth.
The 2nd booth was extremely well planned, and even spacious, Some space was available for a person to sit down and watch the printers. Further it was located right near the entrance to that section of the floor. You couldn’t miss the Cubify booth walking in, manned by bfb/Cubify people .

CES 2013 3D Printer Companies
What would a show in Vegas be without a Vegas Girl?
Walking around the showroom floors.....found these 3D Printing related companies.
Sculpteo A new Printer service bureau
Formlabs had a booth, but by the time and hours of searching for it (confusing maps & info) I was done with the show. Almost 2 million square feet of concrete takes its toll.
Stratasys
The UP printer booth

New field of research 1.5
I have some joy today as I’ve returned to a line of research. This will be a quick memo blog. The first part ended with this blog. http://probersideas.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-field-of-research.html
The Changes
I made some major changes in my systems just to return to this matter. First to go, was the Gen3 electronics. In hindsight I couldn’t recommend them to anyone. IMHO, they suffer from EMI issues, among in general being a poor design.
Next to go was the PTFE insulator. I’ve replaced the hot end with a peek only compact hot end from MakerGear.
more to come in 2.0
