First International Maker Meetup, on 3D Printing, Nov 15

First International Maker Meetup, on 3D Printing, Nov 15

Next Thursday, the first of our new International Maker Meetups is happening. The idea here is to get makers all over the world together, to talk about the latest issue of MAKE, and making in general, hang out with like-minded people in your area, and hopefully have a lot of fun. The main subject of this meet up will be 3D printing and our just-printed Make: Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing.

Five Questions for Zach “Hoeken” Smith

Five Questions for Zach “Hoeken” Smith

Zach “Hoeken” Smith is a co-founder of MakerBot, but he left the company 18 months ago and now calls Shenzhen, China home. In addition to pursuing his own projects he’s the program director for Haxlr8r , San Francisco-based hardware start-up incubator. As part of MAKE’s coverage of the “maker pro” space, I recently interviewed Zach about his work in China.
