Jeffrey Ito is very active in spreading awareness of the 3D printing industry. Author of the eBook “How to Make Money with 3D Printing“, as well as creator of 3D Masterminds podcast series, Ito has now launched a new service which gets a bit more “physical”: the MakerBox 3D printing filament subscription box, which specializes in periodically delivering high quality, specialty materials every
“Each month we showcase only high quality, unique filaments in our box, from companies such as NinjaFlex, MadeSolid, 3Dom, Taulman3D, an so on,” Jeffrey told me. “Since our focus is on quality and ‘cool-factor’, we are only communicating with the top filament providers.”
Although MakerBox is not the first-ever subscription service of its kind (we have also covered Proto Crate in the past), it can leverage Ito’s in-depth knowledge of the industry. MakerBox’s stated mission is to “help makers create actual, unique things with new materials and awesome tools and also foster a community of sharing on social media #makerboxunique.” Inside each box you will find handy maker tools, 3D downloads, reference guides, and exclusive surprises. The team will make sure that the chosen filaments are both environmentally friendly and thoroughly tested before entering their maker’s toolkits.
The subscription service has launched just in time for the holiday season, especially since you can also send it as a gift to a maker of your choice. To celebrate the launch, the team is running a special promotion, valid until Christmas, for all founding members with 10% off for life! The Coupon Code is 3DXMAS. I will probably be getting one, so stay tuned to find out more details on how it worked out.
