Dang. That’s smart.
Now, I’m not going to cut up the box that my replicator came in because one day I’ll move and I needed the box when I sent it back to Makerbot (which I hope to never do again).

I still have my Replicator Cozy that I’d like to see through, but there’s this is an alternative that I may also explore one day.
Because it’s smart.
