Will Langford - MakerBot Intern

We put an ad up on craigslist. Here’s what we had to say! (Pictured above is Will, one of our summer interns)

MakerBot Industries is a fresh company that creates and sells affordable open source 3D printer kits. We are currently looking for interns who can come in two days a week. As an intern you will assemble electronics kits, run a bank of six MakerBots, blog, and do a wide variety of tasks that need to be done around the BotCave.

We’re located in Brooklyn very close to the Atlantic Ave./Pacific St.station. You can learn more about us at http://makerbot.com.

This job is great experience for people who want to see how a DIY based business works, work with computer controlled machinery, and learn about open source business practices.

We compensate our interns with a 3D printer after a set number of hours worked.

An interest or obsession with machinery, electronics, and open source are expected with applicants. Please include a letter stating your interest, the days you would be available, links to your website if you have one, and a copy of your resume.

If you have time to learn, work, and earn your way to your own MakerBot, give us a holler at hiring@makerbot.com.

Bonus! Extrusion. This is the first thing to do to make sure your machine is up and running. Lovely macro shot. Check out the blog for this bot.
