Our editor, Brian, says: Hanging out with my stepson and his
friend, building stuff from Thingiverse was an amazing expe-
rience—seeing this through the eyes of a couple of 24 year olds
was amazing. You can't replicate objects in other homes.
When you talk to friends and family, don't forget the collaborative aspect.
This is part of the promise you make to family and friends about why you're
getting your MakerBot.
Last Christmas my wife and I collaborated on the gifts we gave to family.
I replicated bracelets and she knit bracelet covers. We've got pictures
somewhere, but it's similar to the
printed napkin rings
for which she knit
covers. She would tell me the rough dimensions for the rings and bra-
celets, I designed a draft, when we finalized the design, I replicated one,
then eleven more.
There's so much more that we've replicated: sports towel hooks for my
daughter, window latches, garage door opener switch cover, garden wire
clips, a little bracket holding our dishwasher's bottom panel up, and clips
for holding a window sill garden in place.
My favorite part about having a MakerBot as part of my home-repair
toolkit is that sitting on the couch designing a replacement part or fix
actually constitutes working on a repair.
