Thingiverse Thing-A-Day, Leap Year Edition
A few notable things about February:
- Always the shortest month (even during Leap Year).
- Often too cold to play outside much (well, maybe not this year).
- Contains Valentine’s Day, a day focused on sharing the things you love with those you love.
- Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays, actual and observed.
- Time for the annual Thing-A-Day challenge!
If you have never participated in Thing-A-Day before, here’s the quick summary: this is an opportunity to join a vocal crowd of Makers who are seizing the day, each day for a month, as an opportunity to make something new and then share it (or evidence of it) as part of their community posting effort. Several of us at MakerBot are planning to participate on our own time with a wide range of tools — and encourage you all to not only consider signing up and sticking with the challenge, but also posting your creations to Thingiverse for all of our community to savor.
A few tips. Aim … um … simple. Like 45min from idea-to-thing kind of simple. And push a bit ahead towards the next day whenever a little extra time falls your way. Oh, and take those things that you have to do anyway and twist them into opportunities to share something that, frankly, people really will appreciate anyway.
Inspire all of us and help populate Thingiverse with new and exciting things that have never been shared there before!
And don’t forget, the Thingiverse tag you should use for your posts is: “thing-a-day”
