Want to MakerBot Your Office? Businessweek Shows You How
Why honor your company’s Employee of the Month with a generic trophy when you can customize the award with their own image? Bloomberg Businessweek included this personalized Employee of the Month award in their story, “A MakerBot for the Office,” which features MakerBot user Brendan Dawes. An interactive designer and the founder of Beep Industries in Manchester, U.K., Dawes has designed a number of things for his office including cable holders, clips for attaching pens to notebooks, and a hexagonal organizer to keep his desk tidy.
For more ideas of ways to perform a MakerBot takeover on your office, check out Businessweek’s accompanying slideshow, which includes this sweet 3-D printed tie.
UPDATE: As Nudel points out in the comments below, the items featured in the BusinessWeek piece and slideshow are all designs that have been uploaded to Thingiverse. If you have a MakerBot, print at will. Thanks, Nudel!

Ideas are cool and everything, but many people won’t realize those designs already exist and are readily available for printing. It’s a bit weird they didn’t put links to the things on thingiverse in the description of their slideshow.
Here’s the tie: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14888
Here’s the nightlight cover: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12908
And I think I’ve seen most of the other designs on thingiverse as well.
Happy hunting!
