We may have found the solution–at least if 3D printers and filament are on your list. MatterHackers.com announced today that they will be holding their second annual Blue Friday sale on Friday, November 20th. The company will be offering 10% off sitewide plus other so-far-unannounced specials and free US shipping. No lines, no limited inventory, no hassles. Just the biggest 3D printer, 3D printing pen, filament, and accessory sale we’ve seen so far.
“We know there are people that want to get into 3D printing but are intimidated by the setup cost.” said Kevin Pope, COO of MatterHackers. “Blue Friday is a chance for beginners to jump in as well as an opportunity for us to reward our existing loyal customers.”
Where do you start? Well, MAKE: Magazine recently released their top pick for 3D printers, most of which are available at MatterHackers.com, and will be included in the 10% off promotion.
We’ve also learned that MatterHackers is the exclusive distributor of two printers unavailable anywhere else – MakeIt (a recent 3D printing tradeshow staple) and Open Beam (maker of the sturdy Kossel Pro). Good to know if you are looking to add something unique to your arsenal.
In this is the season of giving, while you’re thinking of what to get for yourself (you deserve it!) remember the young makers in your life. Opportunities for discounts like this could make a huge difference for your local schools and makerspaces. As you may be seeing in your own child’s classroom, education providers are struggling to acquire enough 3D printers and filament to run crucial programs that inspire the next generation of boys and girls to bring their imaginations to life. Maybe taking advantage of holiday promotions like this one could help.
