Do you think this move was absolutely necessary for MakerBot? 3D hobbyists out there, how do you feel about this?

Actually the contrary is true. Each of those successful technical founders you just named did not "do the job themselves". In fact, you just named 3 pairs of co-founders(Google, Apple, Adobe) but for some reason excluded other key co-founders such as Allen(Microsoft) and the FB guys(https://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?founderbios).
Three variables that determine a start-up's success are its 1)product 2)market and 3)the team. Of these, the team is the most important. With a talented team, you can build, get feedback, and reiterate faster on your product. A team that can reiterate every week has a competitive advantage over the team can only reiterate every month because it can push a product out 52 times/year as opposed to only 12 times/year. A team with multiple A-players is always better than a team with just 1 A-player, and their products will be too.
Notes - It wouldn't let me type a message until I uploaded a photo.
- The card preview did not render the Sender or Recipient values, until I went to the next page.
- UI validation (of name fields) should trigger after each key stroke. It still showed an error until I submitted.
- Would be nice to create an account and view/manage all my cards.
