Atlanta-based Plastic Scribbler Inc unveils the Asterid 2000 Series of 3D printers for the consumer market. Reflecting todays need for extreme value and quality, the Asterid Series incorporates all the important attributes needed for advanced rapid prototyping.

Our open source 3D printers create other people's artwork, designs and capture their best innovative ideas! With the Plastic Scribbler Asterid 2000 series, anyone can create solid models based from their digital designs," says Plastic Scribbler co-founder and CEO Tim Manasterski. "Creating an affordable open source 3D printer that uses non-proprietary filament is vital to our success and our newest product line is a sizable step in the right direction. I'm also thrilled to continue our growth within the 3D printer market and look forward to the 2014 Atlanta Maker Faire."

Priced from only $499 to $689, the Asterid 2000 series 3D printer provides an authentic straight out-of-the-box 3D Printing experience. The 3D printer comes fully-assembled with open source 3D printer software for the PC. Linux and Mac software is also available for download on the internet.
