When I first got my makerbot I couldn’t figure out where to put it. Finally I settled on the spot above my tool chest, It’s the perfect height, perfect size and it sits in a spot thats well ventilated (although ventilation is not really an issue when printing the PLA filament with the replicator 2). I found that the filament kept getting stuck /binding and I would end up with a partially printed file. It also made it pain to change out the filament, because it was in the corner. I ended up printing out a modified version of this spool I adding a hole in Rhino and removed the tab, then mounted it to the wall. The result lets me quickly swap out filament without disturbing the machine. Feast your eyes ….

Here is a really quick prototype for an RGB LED pedestal that we created for a Verizon presentation. The final product will be CNC cut from lexand (right now we are just using a cup). The circuit consists of a photoresistor to sense if the phone is on the pedestal, and ATmega328 or Tiny for control and and RGB LED that changes color when you list the phone.
