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

The unique twist on this collaboration is that he is located in Menlo Park, CA and I am in Austin, TX. We’re collaborating remotely while doing most of work on the TechShop locations in each of our towns. Our Quadrotor is desgined from scratch. All major components have been adapted from other sources but, otherwise, designed by us for this project. We have no flight experience and neither of us has ever attempted a project on this scale before.
