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

[wwctechlab]

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
