Not that this has ever stopped me from doing stuff before.

My MakerBot kit was my first foray into robotics.  Or electronics, for that matter.  Frankly, if I can do it you can too.  Even so, talk about blowing out a MOFSET1 is enough to make me very cautious about how I upgrade my bot’s electronics.  All I know about this MOFSET thing is that it is bad if it burns out – and it can burn out with enough (or not enough???) power.

In any case, I need to make sure I pick up a whatchamacallit Relay Board Kit when I grab a heated build platform kit.

  1. Whatever that is! []

Actually, it’s pretty simple.  I really enjoy blogging about my MakerBot, stuff I make, how I make it, what I see other people do with their Makerbots, and awesome robots in general.  It helps me get ideas for things to write, things to design, and things to make – and hopefully things you like to read.

Heck, some of my favorite things only came about because someone e-mailed me or commented on one of these posts.  (I mean, a soft-pawed albino stoat of Southern Wales???  WTF?  That was so much fun!)

Hey!  You like MakerBots, right?  Well, why not set aside 30 seconds for a MakerBot poll!  (Even if you don’t own one!)
