Build in progress

I'm a little over half way done with my Thing-O-Matic build.  I'm hoping to have it done and printing by Christmas day.  The build has gone very smoothly and I can't wait for my first print!  The only issues in the documentation so far have been that not all bolt sizes are given at each step.  It't been pretty easy to figure out which one is needed, but it would be nice to always know.  After I do some more of the build I'll edit them into the wiki.

The people at Makerbot have been very friendly and helpful.  I'm impressed with them.

First Post!

This is going to be my blog about building a replicator, designing fun toys, legal, ethical and economic implications of personal manufacturing, and subverting the capitalistic hegemony.  They all flow together, you see.
