Open House 7/1

What do you do after a Maker Faire? Work on more printers, put together a robot as educational material for students, build another printer, start new projects, and create a homemade violin using the laser. Of course, there was plenty of the usual tinkering throughout the evening.

8bit violin build - As soon as we saw hammerspace demo their working 8 bit violin, we knew exactly how it was made.  The only question we had was: "Where did you find the svg file for this?" They pointed us to the following places: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6912  and  http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7145
