Keff's Weeping Skeleton Vampire Mummy Earphone Winder

Thingiverse citizen Keff just shared this awesome “Weeping Skeleton Vampire Mummy Earphone Winder.”  The earphone cord works perfectly as a faux-bandage around the mummy’s head.  This is absolutely my favorite earphone winder of all time.  Keff says of his creation:

I got a little carried away making a winder for my new earphones.

Hey Keff – if this is you carried away, don’t ever let anyone carry you back!  This is AWESOME!

Check out the the NY Times’ Gadgetwise blog, or yesterday’s print issue of the Times, for a quick FAQ on The Replicator! Warren Buckleitner wrote the piece, “A 3-D Printer for Under $2,000: What Can It Do?” after visiting the MakerBot booth at CES. He answers such burning questions as “What does a 3-D printer use?” and “How long does it take to make a plastic chess piece?” For more info, watch the video interview above that Buckleitner did with MakerBot’s  John Dimatos.

In the past, I’ve decried the lack of kitchen-related items on the Thingiverse, but previous few of us (myself certainly included) have done much to fill in this gap.

It thus gives me all the more pleasure to share this brilliant, largely 3d-printed solution to one of mankind’s oldest and most challenging culinary problems: the drying of fresh, hand-made pasta.

At one time or another, our less culinarily-oriented partners have all walked in on a horror scene of kitchen chairs festooned with eggy, yellow strands, fresh from our well-loved Marcato Atlas.  If only we had known we were just a few dowels and 3d-printed connectors away from a workable pasta-drying solution!  Think of the pasta-related arguments we would have been spared…

Thank you fma for your thoughtful design!

This is a pasta dryer, inspired from ones you can buy. But this one is printable!
