Behind The Scenes At the Botcave
As I wandered around the Botcave last Monday, I noticed a heart-warming trend in the décor: puppy and kitten calendars everywhere. This is my photo essay about them.
Next to Widget’s workstation, where he is checking the levelness of some rods, two golden retriever pups snuggle with each other, on the verge of a nap.
Near an area where Bot Farm-bound Cupcakes are getting a final check to prepare for the upcoming Maker Faire, where sixteen of them will print full-time, a calendar shows two black labs posing in a grassy field.
Behind a desk where Sam and Marisol were discussing a recent shipment, an inter-species friendship seems to have formed between a floppy-eared pup and a silvery kitten. The furry friends sit together in a high chair.
Attached to a post in the shipping area where MakerBot Kits are gingerly hand-packed packed atop a conveyor belt, a calendar shows a pug-nosed pup nibbling at someone’s jean cuff.
What is the connection between MakerBots and the dogs and cats calendars? Some investigation has revealed that one of the MakerBot suppliers has the option to get calendars as a bonus gift with big orders. When faced with the choice between a gym bag and kittens and puppies, MakerBot will always choose the cute kittens and puppies!
