MakerBot in the News: Is There A Plastic Object You Want Right Now?
Salt and Pepper Hats by DesignGlut
Jen Graves over at The Stranger just wrote about how much she wanted her very own MakerBot. My favorite line from the article?
The machine itself looks like one of those hook carnival games that you can never win, except with this one you always win.
Check out the full article and find out what Jen would do with her own MakerBot here!
Back in July Switched.com challenged us to design and make a set of salt and pepper shakers, all in one day! We took care of the design end, and the shakers were made by awesome 3-D printing technology from MakerBot.
We've always wanted to design a set of salt and pepper shakers to match Egg Pants, one of our most successful products. This finally gave us the chance to do it. We bring you Salt and Pepper Hats! We're so happy with how they turned out that we will be taking them one step further and turning them into a product for our line, which should be available by winter 2009.
In the meantime, we're offering up the files for our prototypes - download away and make your very own! Want Egg Pants to go with them? Get a pair here: designglut.bigcartel.com/product/egg-pants

why are these salt and pepper shakers constantly pimped by makerbot/press?
has anyone ever been able to print the woman’s hat? its as if they were posted to thingiverse with the goal of making them as hard as possible to print.
i challenge someone to actually make both of these shakers without modifying the STL files.
the objects in the photos are not the same as the stl files provided in the link. this is espically true since the cupcake at the time was not able to print support material.
