two recent, very achievable maker jobs posted —

writeup on fabbaloo, who had nice things to say about us:
We think this is a necessary service to fit on top of the hugely growing 3D print community, as more and more people find themselves equipped with MakerBots, RepRaps, Up!s and Fab@Homes. The sweet spot for MakerFactory seems to be the case where a large quantity of prints are required, so long as the build time for printed objects remains long.
also, this is the 100th post to the MAKERFACTORY blog. hurray!
