Essential Office Kit, From Thingiverse

Pardon our blog dust, readers. Or maybe I mean lack of blog dust. Alas, it’s moving day at MakerBot HQ! We’ve grown so quickly this year that a few of our departments were required to get new digs in Brooklyn. I guess my two weeks here have made a Maker out of me, because the only thing I can think is what to print for the new office. And the move itself has made me acutely aware that my desk is woefully sans accoutrement.

But as the saying goes, ask and the Thingiverse shall provide. There is actually a wealth of really useful stuff you can print for your own workspace. I give you the essential new office kit, MakerBot style.

UPDATE! If you need other inspiration for your office, BusinessWeek has you covered. There are several more ideas in their slideshow.

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!
