The challenge was to design and build a set of salt and pepper shakers in one day. Good Stuff!

See the MakerBot desktop $750 3d printer in action, what a hackerspace is like, a glimpse of desktop rapid development and how fun it all is…

That was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen… seriously. I haven’t had the time to check out what fab labs are all about, but this definitely puts it into perspective. What program did they use to create the “blueprint” for the shakers?

Agreed Mike. I should have TWO MakerBots operational in the near future and I have five pounds of ABS plastic (same as lego bricks) to build with. So, get up to speed on Sketch-up, Alias, Rhino, AutoCAD, Blender, or an equivalent and get some designs together…

Dare I ask… are any of those programs Mac compatible? (not that I have copious amounts of time to learn yet another program
