Every photographer, videographer, and audio buff in New York City knows the name B&H. For over 30 years, they’ve been New York’s go-to source for professional photo, video, and audio equipment. In the short time they’ve been carrying MakerBot products, B&H has become one of our highest performing retail partners. That’s why MakerBot is taking our relationship with B&H to the next level by offering a one-of-a-kind retail experience inside the B&H SuperStore in Manhattan.
This is really smart, and if you’re in NYC B&H is the best place to go for consumer/prosumer electronics, besides the Apple to store for Apple things. It will be interesting to see what other stores-within-stores pop up with 3D printers. The Samsung store in Soho has Cube printers from 3D systems. For the open & open source printer companies there’s a huge opportunity to park some printers at hackerspaces.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
