Where’s the MakerBBQ love?
Since this weekend’s Memorial Day holiday is the traditional North American start of the grilling season, I was of course scanning Thingiverse for those last-minute BBQ-related prints. And I was shocked by what I found: more or less nothing!
KitchenAid Mixers get some love, and there are a good number of kitchen-related projects, but this taco holder and beverage opener are just about the only things that seem to have any relation to a BBQ…and the taco holder is a bit of a stretch if you’re not doing a Tex-Mex backyard gathering. (Ok, here’s a spork, but he’s eating yogurt in the demo – not BBQ-approved.)
So do MakerBotters just not like barbecues? I was expecting an organizer for grilling tools and some beverage holders, maybe an assembly for a cold-smoker, at least. Or is the barbecue already a perfect experience that needs no tweaking by DIYers?
I don’t know about you, but I find that tough to swallow.

Until I can print in surgical-grade stainless steel, or even food grade plastic (PLA doesn’t count, they aren’t reusable, and HDPE is too hit and miss on the settings side.), I don’t really feel comfortable mixing my hobbies of creation and tasty meat goods.

I’m suddenly worried we’ll see more printable phallic handles like the one from MiseryBot http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8798
Please, nobody else print that in flesh tones!!!

Ms. Cartman: Eric dear? I just got a call from your friend Kyle’s mother. She said that this website (thingiverse) is naughty, and might make you a potty mouth.
