MakerBot Industries

QC Colab is awesome. They made bronze coins by taking a mold of a MakerBotted coin and then pouring bronze into it to make their own custom bronze coins. They are back with two walkthrough videos so that anyone with the bravery to hook up a vacuum cleaner and liquid propane to a custom made forge make things out of molten metal.

Check out these videos and leave them some nice comments. It’s great that they are sharing their wisdom so that anyone can turn MakerBotted ABS 3D prints into METAL.

This Iris Box thing that’s happening is super awesome. The original box was designed by msruggles.
Recently msruggles has also made a “Shorty Iris Box” so that it’ll take less time to print. Rad!

Alternately you can just print a smaller Iris Box base by jballard. It’s so great when you see a cool design get modified and improved!

We already posted the video, but watch it again!
