@Matt: It’s a great setup! Bolting the extension cord is a great idea too. Does it have it’s own dedicated laptop?

Hah, never expected such fanfare. It’s a pretty good setup, allows for easy access to all sides. (Also allows you to wheel it out of the room if you get noise complaints)

I’ve since bolted an extension cord spool to the back to hold filament, but winding it on is a huge pain. I will probably end up building a makerbot style horizontal spool to sit on one of the shelves.

@Jef: Actually, I have the same one too! I used to use it as a microwave cart, now as a nightstand. :) However, I like his repurposing of it. I suspect it would also work better than the plastic cart I dreamed about – better able to accommodate a square cutout for raising/lowering the robot.
