My Makerbot Replicator 2 at work
Here is a video I captured with my cell phone (because of that the shaking camera) to show you how my makerbot works with a larger object with a spool from Plastic2Print and a special spoolholder for that. The file for Makerware to print the spoolholder can be found here: Makerbot Replicator Spoolholder Plastic2Print(ZIP, 371.68 kB)
You may find it interesting to hear the loudness/noisyness of the Replicator 2 here, because I am talking with a normal voice even a little less loud than normal maybe here.
