The MakerBot kit has been delevered

Here is the official update:
Today (Friday August 8th) the kit was delivered to H's house at last. But due to everyone's travel plans the first good time to get together to work on it will be August 27/28. That gives us lots of time to prepare Sketchup files and AutoCAD STL files. (total nerd speak).

On a related topic - There is a dutch version of the Makerbot called the UltiMaker. Same basic principal. The main difference is that the extruder travels in the X & Y axis and the build platform travels in the Z direction - which is the exact opposite of the MakerBot. The web site says that they've only sold 150 kits (versus 5000 MakerBots sold so far).
