Dremel Flex-Shaft Mount

I don’t own a dremel1 but I particularly like Andrew Plumb / Clothbot‘s Dremel Flex-Shaft Mount for the MakerBot.  This thing will turn your MakerBot into a mini-drill press or mini-CNC mill.  But that’s not the reason I like it.

I like this thing because the design is totally functional and completely nuts.  It’s just not the kind of thing you’d ever find in a store.  And yet you can just whip one up in about half an hour with a MakerBot.  Amazing.

11 year old builds 3D printer

Um.  Wow.  Justin, you rock.  This 11 year old kid apparently designed and built his own 3D printer.

Forrest Higg’s vision has just come true!  He’s written several times about how he wants to design and build a system that a reasonably bright 12 year old could build.  I guess we should have known it would have taken a 12 year old to design such a system in the first place.

Thanks to Fabbaloo for the link!
