MakerBot Unicorn Pen Plotter Challenge Winners!
Without further ado, the winners!
Fill/Tone/Crosshatching Tool Challenge
On the code-front, Dan Newman created a great Inkscape tool for creating hatches and crosshatches for bounded objects that is as useful for Egg-Bot as the MakerBot Unicorn.1
Favorite Robots Design Challenge
Given that no one stepped up to the (admittedly daunting) task of transforming Scribbles.py into an Inkscape extension2, I have three prizes for the “Favorite Robots” visual design challenges.
Carmiac put up designs for a friendly turret from Portal as well as for the unstoppable Spirit Mars-bot.
DLPlanes put up designs for his two favorite robots: AstroBoy and a classic American tin robot.
And finally, Cyrozap gives us a nice sticker- (or sticky-pad) ready design for everyone’s favorite non-Shakespearean Patrick Stewart performance.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the MakerBot Unicorn Challenges!
Winners, please send a message to support at makerbot dot com with your contact details for receiving your MakerBot Unicorn Pen Plotter kit!- Note, I knocked my Unicorn out of whack stippling the winner-bots, so the image of my test of the crosshatch tool is more sketchy than usual. [↩]
- Honorable mention goes to Nick from the Gcodetools project. While his team did not submit a project page to Thingiverse or create an Inkscape friendly plugin, Nick did jump on the blog here to let us know the gcodetools project would probably get us pretty close to Unicorn-printable gcode. I look forward to testing it! [↩]
