GitHub is Doing Great (Wireless) Things With Their Replicator 2

GitHub is Doing Great (Wireless) Things With Their Replicator 2

My college roommate, Mike Skalnik, a developer at GitHub, recently told me about their new MakerBot Replicator 2, which he and his coworkers have been working to automate so that anyone in the company can 3D Print things easily. They’ve been doing great things with it since it arrived at their San Francisco office little more than a week ago, and I had a chance to stop by when I was in the area for a closer look.

Sugru’s Fixer’s Manifesto

Sugru’s Fixer’s Manifesto

I love Sugru’s Fixer’s Manifesto! A lot of these items we’ve seen before, in such manifestos as Mister Jalopy’s Owner’s Manifesto or the iFixit Repair Manifesto, Platform21’s Repair Mainfesto, as well as The Cult of Done. However, it’s always nice to see it restated! Interested in Sugru? You can find it in the Maker Shed.
