So I decided to make use of the MakerBot Replicator 2 to print physical samples in PLA. Time per piece went from about an hour to about 15 minutes. This is the first time I used the Makerware software, which looks to be a much prettier version of ReplicatorG. The workflow for using the software is a little bit more straight forward than ReplicatorG. For example, a single “Make” button generates the Gcode and Scd Files

TechShop is an awesome membership based workshop with a huge variety of tools useful for making things. On this holiday Friday I decided to spend some time with the MakerBot Replicator. For some time I have been looking at a mini-tripod for my camera/iPhone so I could get pictures of projects while working on them. While browsing Thingiverse, I came across design files for such a thing.
