A Thing-O-Matic station, from Herón et al.

We set it up next to our work table, we have plastic boxes to contain our failed prints, hoping that some day we’ll be able to recycle all that PLA. The ToM is pretty pimped out, with a LED ring light in the extruder, JAG’s filament drive, active cooling for the extruder, feet to easily get to the electronics, and the LM8UU X-carriage, all from Thingiverse.

And in case you were wondering, “that’s a robotic arm on the top shelve with an unfinished Prusa Air and Darth Vader guarding the ToM.”

What’s guarding your TOM?
