A Trip Inside MakerBot's New 3D Printing Factory
In case you're unfamiliar with who MakerBot is and what they do, they're one of the leaders in the 3D printing field, specifically in the creation of the printers themselves. With more than 80,000 MakerBots out in the wild, the company continues to strive towards its goal of putting a 3D printer in every home and classroom.
Since 2009, MakerBot has quickly risen to the top of a cluttered field of 3D printing manufacturing and services industry. Their new 170,000 square-foot space in Brooklyn spans three floors, is home to more than 140 employees and doubles the production capacity compared to MakerBot’s previous factory.

Over Heated Pool
Why am I up at 5:00am? Let's start with this. Today will be day 9 of temperatures of over 100 degrees here in Kuna! This has managed to superheat the pool to the point where it is no longer a refreshing dip.
The resolution? Turn on the waterfall and squirters (not an official term but that is what we call them) and by 8:00am they will pull over 10 degrees out of the pool.
We added the falls and squirters because we thought they would be fun. It turns out that in the heat of the summer they are the only reasonable way to cool the thing off!
