Anyone heard anything about whether the new hardware and software will be open-source? It would be a shame if MakerBot's continued success and growth come at the expense of openness.


Hackaday mentioned that it would be closed-source: http://hackaday.com/2012/09/19/introducing-the-makerbot-repl...


Hackaday mentioned that there are rumours that it will be closed source.


Guess all that VC money came with a hefty pricetag for the community.


Actually the VCs are shitting their pants as MakerBot sheds its first and second most valuable resources - good employees and the community.

Though I thought the same thing when I heard some of the most recent decisions.
