All three given out.

It was another fun time at the HackerSpace. I also went downtown early and got an after hours tour of the our Museum of Science and Industry's Fab Lab. They have three commercial 3D printers, 2 Epilog lasers, 2 vinyl cutters, a 4 x 8 Shopbot, several small wax cutting mills and a lot of other equipment. I donated a Hadron to them. They might build a whole farm of ORD Bots. They hold classes and would like a 1:1 ratio of people to printers.

That's one of the most awesome things I've heard in a while. Any organization that's willing to set up a classroom full of specialty hardware, like 3D printers, so the public can learn and use them is worth its weight in filament :D .

On a side note, I'm putting together the parts to make a spool holder. How do I get some of the feet? I looked on the MakerSlide store to no avail, I guess Bart's been to busy making awesome things to post them there.
