Barnes and Noble is having a Mini Maker Faire. I can’t wait to see what our B&N has available. I dropped by two days ago and noticed an XYZ Jr Davinci printer on display. They have it available for $349. (It’s available at Amazon a little cheaper) – We have the full XYZ printer. The Jr has a build size of 6″x6″x6″ whereas our full printer can print up to 8″x8″x8″. We do love ours (I printed our doorbell button after our previous broke).
We have tried other 3D printers and the XYZ is easy to set up and worked out of the box! I can’t wait to see what speakers and demos are happening at our Barnes and Noble this weekend.
I also picked up a Modding Minecraft book (article to come).

I am a SAHM/WAHM of three boys ranging in age from 16 to 32. We are working on saving enough for college at the same time as dealing with school and our older independent kids. I author a few blogs, including http://teched4kids.com. I have in the past taught computer information technology classes for the local university and taught workshops for kid's in technology education besides being the Kentucky State FIRST LEGO League Championship Coordinator from 2005 to 2008. I now work as a computer consultant, run a handmade home business, and am available for workshops. Life here is always an adventure!
