Update #13: Big Beautiful Boxes of Beam

Posted on November 23, 2009

Oh yeah. We got ourselves some serious beam up in MakerBeam HQ. Boxes and boxes.

It looks beautiful. But you don't have to take our word for it.

There will be more photos to come. For now, enjoy. And thank you, all of you, for your support in making this possible. We think you'll be pleased.

      can't tell the scale, is that 10mm?? it looks larger, more like 25mm.

      looks awesome, though.
