...in the Tech Lab

#makerbot memories. You brought a lot of joy. And Pokemon. #library #makersgonnamake

Oh #makerbot. You’ve been a stalwart pioneer. But in accordance with the nature of things, it’s time for your sun to set. But, fear not! You will rise again! We will repurpose you into new, wonderful machines! You will never truly be gone. Stay tuned for info about the wake!\n#library #makers #makersgonnamake #circleoflife (at Warren Wilson College)

We’ve got levitation! It’s Friday, so James whacked up a quick solenoid using insulated wire, an empty ballpoint pen tube, a piece of copper, and about 7 volts. The wrapped wire, when energized, create a magnetic field that suspends the rod.\n\n#magnets are cool. #library #makersgonnamake #inanimatecarbonrod

Go little robot Go! First little test print on the #ultimaker 2+. #library #makersgonnamake (at Warren Wilson College)

You had me at “Robots Doing Stuff.”

One of Augusta Savage's 'Gamin' busts on display at the Johnson Collection in Spartanburg, NC. Photographed for 3D modeling. Check out the modeled version in the 2nd photo and come by the library to see the printed replica! #3dprinting #gamin (at Warren Wilson College)

First #hotend rebuild of 2017. Won't be the last. #makerbot #3dprinting (at Warren Wilson College)

Same. (at Warren Wilson College)

Thermocouple Amplification! Got the thermocouple spliced to the #makerbot and the breakout. Gonna find out if the #3dprinter 's been lying to us... (at Warren Wilson College)

Testing thermocouple accuracy on our #makerbot with an amplifier breakout from @adafruit. We'll get this printer working again someday. #3dprinting #diy #make (at Warren Wilson College)

We've got a reading! Wiring batteries together in parallel to make a picnic power supply. #diy #make

Check out this global network of 3D printers working toward an awesome goal. 

This data sculpture depicts a map of housing prices in San Francisco. It's a map of the city, torn at the seams. The height of each area represents the average

Well, this is awesome.

Yeah, that's how you want to leave it on a Friday afternoon. #3dprinting (at Warren Wilson College)
