3D Printer Trading Cards (from the Future!): Printrbot
Twenty years from now, I found a box of old 3D Printer Trading Cards. It turns out 2012 was a great year for 3D printers, driven by an explosion of innovation from individual maker businesses and people sharing their designs, successes, and failures.
