MakerBot has published a “User Guide” for their new Replicator personal 3D printer. It seems like an obvious thing to do for almost any product, but we think this is important.
Why?
3D printing is still very new to almost everyone, particularly the market targeted by MakerBot’s latest device. Many people still need a lot of handholding and they need explanations, pictures and videos to guide them to success. Even people who are confident often mis-apply 2D paradigms to 3D printing and the results are sometimes not pretty. It’s certainly a learning process, but good documentation always helps.
