Telepresence bot has a new body!

3D printed mirror brackets

Leave a Comment / 3D Printing / Admin Makerspace

Brought in a mirror for the bathroom but didn’t have brackets. Tony graciously #3Dprinter ered some on the #Makerbot that he found on Thingiverse. Fortunate since Wal-Mart is probably closed at 12 am on Easter morning! Plus a couple items from NerdFest.

We made a donation box!
