And thus I realized I was not the only person to dream up the sandwich-making machine...


We have all dreamed of a sandwich-making machine. Only yCombinator could bring it to life.


I had a sandwich making machine while growing up, it was amazing.

(my father was a terrible cook, but could make an amazing sandwich)


From what I've read, the Home Depot/Makerbot program is only in 12 of their stores.


This one is what started convincing me that there's a useful place for these machines: http://instagram.com/p/kpJz-5Ipcy

"Fruit basket had a couple missing feet so I whipped up some replacements in Tinkercad and printed them out."


$999 according to the article.


Thats actually pretty reasonable provided the print quality warrants the price tag. I would buy it for that price if it could print things with enough structural support for every day use.


Its a flashforge dreamer with one extruder ripped out and the heatbed removed running autodesk 123 software. Dremel had very little to do with building it except deciding where the logos will go.


Tracking my health, and what else?

I would, however, like to build a skin-mounted radio. Would cut down on the gear I have to carry on long bike treks.


I'd guess I drew at least 365 new heroes from 1st to 8th grade. I doubt many of them look as good as his do, though.


Maybe Shapeways can open kiosks in mall parking lots.

I'd use that service.


My exact thoughts. Wouldn't be surprised if Kinkos themselves (FedEx Office, now) pushes into the field. And that we possibly start seeing CVS/Walgreens 1-hour photo-style printing services as well.


Surprisingly interesting. I really like the format of this interview. Great follow-up questions.


Scary stuff. I've had too many bikes stolen. Good to know what I'm up against.
