[ AGAIN, BE SURE TO READ THE BIT AT THE END ABOUT MAKERFAIRE 2012 ]<\/p>\n

Right on the heels of a blog post earlier this week, another post!<\/p>\n

This is going to be a long one.. but with lots of pretty pictures.<\/p>\n

Ok! In the last blog post things finally got awesome – I printed a money clip that looked absolutely flawless, out of PLA, on my RepRap. (As I type this it’s September 23rd, so I’m around 11 months behind, as I’m blogging about events from the end of October 2011<\/em>).<\/p>\n

I probably had my expectations cautiously dialed back (expecting something else to go wrong, so it wouldn’t be so bad when it did), but nope – there was a whole lot of smooth sailing from that point on. Feast your eyes on some of these prints.<\/p>\n

For years I’ve worn two gears on the lanyard that holds my badge for work. They’re printed out of ABS on the Makerbot Cupcake that I printed my RepRap’s actual parts on (specifically they’re the z-driven pulleys from the original Sells Mendel). I finally printed one out of PLA and put it on my badge between them, making a cool gear sandwich.<\/p>\n
