First MakerBot Artist-In-Residence: Marius Watz
As part of his residency, Marius will be sharing some models. I love the first 3 in the series! We printed out 20 of these for him last week to demonstrate the power of the MakerBot Botfarm.
Marius has some great ideas for where he’s going with his work.
My goal for my MakerBot residency is to produce a set of models for my upcoming exhibition at ROM for Kunst og Arkitektur in Oslo next month. As part of that process I will be developing a new Processing library for 3D model building, to be released as Open Source along with a series of models I’ll publish on Thingiverse (see thingiverse.com/watz) in the MakerBot spirit of openness. You can already get a preview on Flickr, I can’t wait to add more!
This is going to be awesome. We’ve already got our second artist lined up, but we’ll be looking to have other artist-in-residences. If you’re interested in being one, send us a note with some links to some examples of your work and some ideas about what you’d like to get done with 2 months of unlimited access to the MakerBot Botfarm and we’ll get back to you!

Just like photographers provide info on the settings used to produce a photo, can Marius provide basic settings as well? I have no idea which would make sense to provide, but I’d be shocked if some complex artistic objects don’t require tweaking. Additionally, many objects require touch-ups after the print, and to me that is kinda cheating. Will Marius only be printing and sharing objects that don’t require the use of a dremel or x-acto? I’d personally rather see objects that don’t need any extra work.
Statistics on the print time, and even amount of plastic used would be interesting.

Steve, all the objects seen above did not require touch-ups, designing for the MakerBot is pretty straightforward nowadays. They are super nice!
tmophoto – We didn’t really like it because we originally got it with uv dye stuff in it an it didn’t hardly glow under blacklight which was a shame. But we’ve had that stuff around for ages and we keep getting requests for it. I think it’s on our list to get now sans uv dye.

About the orange plastic, don’t forget that you can use a magic marker on one edge of natural or white filament to change the colo(u)r!
