I saw this photo in the MakerBot photo pool. Bas Piljs used the scrap lasercut part that holds the brackets as a sorting tray to keep the nuts and bolts for assembly separate. So elegant! I’m definitely using this idea in the future.
We’re very excited to announce that we have custom-designed hand-made 1AEON t-shirts in the MakerBot Store. They are printed on American Apparel tshirts and are awesome.
I’ve been friends with 1AEON since I saw his work over at Etsy and worked with Tara Young to make this video about him. Besides making shirts for sale on Etsy, he is a designer for hire who has made the NYCResistor t-shirts and Things t-shirts.
Here’s a picture that shows you a bit of the process. Everything is handmade. 1AEON builds and burns the screens and then prints them.
You’re invited to go check out his site and buy his latest creation, the MakerBot 1AEON t-shirt on the MakeBot store!
Robert Bowdidge discovered a cool way to make model train buildings!
I wondered if I could break up the long side pieces so that the top layer couldn’t pull across the piece to cause the warp. Back in SketchUp, I made the piece twice as deep, and cut some wedges out of the thickened back side perpendicular to the warping.
