MakerBot + Junk = Stuff! [08/06/2010]

[In my earliest days of working with my MakerBot, I used it interchangeably with the term “3D printer”.  I think the point I was going to make here was that you could take some everyday stuff, perhaps even waste products, and with a few 3D printed parts turn them into something new or useful.  Unfortunately, whatever thing that did this is now lost to time.  I suppose by scrolling through this blog, looking at the last Thingiverse item number I referenced and the next one I reference, it might be possible to narrow down the universe of things I could have been inspired by.  This is assuming whatever thing is still in the Thingiverse system and wasn’t wiped out by the Thingageddons1 or some of the mass boycotts / exoduses that have happened over time.  Anyhow, all this seems like a lot of work to get into my headspace from 16 years ago.  If I don’t think it’s a worthwhile endeavor, I can’t imagine anyone else would either.]

Yay!  Math! +=
