Back by popular demand, the MakerBot Mixtape is making a resurgence—this 3D printed version of the iconic DIY music mixtape is available in different color combinations and a retro way to listen to your favorite music, but with a modern 3D printed twist. MakerBot,Brooklyn, is known for bringing the future to the present with its MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printers.
But this combines modern 3D printing technology with the allure of something totally retro—a mixtape. The MakerBot Mixtape was one of the first items the company recreated through 3D printing. The company is now gearing up for this blast from the past by 3D printing a variety of color combinations to appeal to music lovers of all kinds, from rock ‘n’ rollers to those with a more classical leaning.
The redesigned MakerBot Mixtape is an all-new 3D printed cassette tape with an MP3 player embedded inside. With an improved user interface, the device offers drag and drop files just like a USB drive. It has 4GB of storage and holds favorite tunes and playlists and will even store 3D printing STL files giving easy access to 3D prints.
