MakerBot Operators are blazing trails into the frontiers of personal manufacturing. Check out this great toolhead mounting for a full dremel that Webca made. You can find other options that require a flexishaft by browsing the Dremel tag on Thingiverse.

If anyone gets a chance to try it out. I’d love to see more documentation on getting a MakerBot set up to do milling here! It’s a wiki, so feel free to add your own experience!

From Robots Dreams:

Michael Overstreet posted two videos featuring a Sumobot chassis created using the Makerbot 3D printer, and the results look really professional. For a complex, relatively large, part taken right out of the Makerbot, Michael’s chassis is surprisingly good, even without any additional clean-up, sanding, or other finishing processes.

And the Makerbot cranking out the Sumobot chassis:
