September in Updates

Many at the monthly meeting, Larry is giving a brief talk about his automated chicken coop door (now of Hackaday fame):


Madison’s Steam Century used Sector67 to create the murder mystery props for Geek.Kon:

Sometimes Makerbot repair requires two hands and a couple Coronas to get anywhere. . .

At Sector67 we take safety very seriously. In the event of pencil lead breakage, all bystanders need to be wearing proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

The bus is underway towards a new paint job. Some body work and primer is getting it closer to rocking a new style:

Lastly, the first RepRap Prusa clone rolls off the Makerbot assembly line. All dressed up in shiny white plastic:
