Making Awesome - 3D Printing, Inventing, Making, Small Business

Marleen Vogelaar, CEO of  @Shapeways  and  @Thangs3D  joins us for a SPECIAL episode on the 3D Firearm debate. Marleen, not only being a boss babe herself, knows a thing or 2 about the tech proposed to limit your ability to own your machines, and has some opinions about it. She has stood alongside of folks like  @davidtobin ,  @rossmanngroup ,  @SteveBuilds  and many others fighting for the rights of makers, because, believe it or not, this is not about firearms, it is about controlling how you use things that you own. More information about the bills nationwide: https://www.the3dprintingnerd.com/ab2047About Marleen: Marleen, an original co-founder of Shapeways, is delighted to return to steward the company into a new chapter of financial stability and exceptional service as a digital manufacturing engine.

The  @bondtechab  INDX units, including the  @Prusa3D  Founders Editions are shipping to consumers, but, unfortunately the start has been far from perfect. From badly printed parts on Prusa's farm to nozzles that were sold as hardened, but nowhere near as hard as they should be, the launch of INDX has been wrought with controversy. So, in Making Awesome Podcast fashion, lets talk about it. Jacob also has a story to tell.. His home was broken into, his car stolen TWICE, and well, you will have to watch/listen to find out how!Want edited versions of these shows?
