You just earned a new subscriber. I enjoyed learning the history of home-based 3D printers. But why didn't you talk about the Delta style 3D printers? You only touched on the SLA and SLS 3D printers while spending the bulk of your time on filament style machines.
MakerBot turned into a leach as soon as they closed source. Having an open source system was their biggest selling point but they ran the company solely around variations of 1 product when they should have focused on innovation like Prusa. Selling out to Stratisys was such a huge disappointment too and was not what they sold the community on.
As an addition to this, while the Tangibot is cited as the biggest contributor to Makerbot's closed source move, it should be noted that they'd already begun to lock down their designs before the Tangibot ever came on the scene. There was also their bad behavior around taking community designs on Thingiverse and patenting them, as well as the furor around the Automated Build Platform (rip).
This was really interesting. It's hard to believe this video hasn't got any more traction than it has. It's a worthwhile watch.
Awesome trip down memory lane. Thank you.
Thanks for this awsome 3D Printing history lesson :)
Thanks for the history lesson. I really enjoyed it and can now understand how things came about.

Aside from my very biased opinion on MakerBot, the video was very informative :D

Wow this is crazy i still have my cupcake with the auto print bed. That thing printed like garbage compared to now.
