MakerBot Industries

Hanukkah is rapidly approaching. It starts this Wednesday, December 1st at sundown. Need a menorah? Want to do a little soldering? Want to save wax?

Come visit the MakerBot Store. We have the Deluxe LED Menorah kit from Evil Mad Science Laboratories in stock for $14:

Our Deluxe LED Menorah kit is an updated take on the traditional hanukkiyah, the nine-armed Hanukkah candelabrum. Two candles are lit on the first night of Hanukkah (one “real” candle plus the lighter candle, or shamash), three on the second night, right up to nine on the eighth night. (That’s (2+9)*(8/2)=44 candles all together, for those of you keeping score.)

Ours works pretty much the same way, but uses less wax. When you turn it on, it displays the correct configuration of LED “candles” for a given night of Hanukkah. Each time that you press the button (or switch it off and back on), it displays one more light than it did the previous time that you turned it on (unless it showed all nine last time, in which case it goes back to two). The LEDs are lit up in the traditional sequence, with a gentle fade.”

There is plenty more to shop for at the MakerBot Botcave. We have all the traditional MakerBot faire like MakerBot Cupcake CNC Kits, TTL Cables, LED strips, pen plotters, extruders, and ABS plastic. We also sell Adafruit Kits like the Brain Machine, stuff from Evil Mad Science Laboratories, Arduino products, Jimmy Rodgers and much more.

Also, every visitor gets an object printed by one of our very own MakerBots!

So come and say hello. We’re located at 87 3rd Avenue. Hours are Noon-8 p.m., Tuesday thru Saturday, now until December 24th. See you at the MakerBot Botcave!
