Space Invaders? I hope so! The Space Invaders are my favorite retro image. They're just completely classic.

Woo space invaders! The crab guy is easily the best one.

Useless but cool!

Yes, or make enough for an actual game and make a ship at the bottom and play a game of Space Invaders somewhere in the office. It could be wall art.

Kinda guessed it would be Space Invaders.. more importantly, I want to know where Will got that shirt.

you guys need to have a makerbot mega-project. Like, every week an item is made that is only a small portion of a much larger build. Not sure what that larger build would be, but something awesome!

Splitscreen MakerBot!? When will it end!?

You guys should get some glow in the dark plastic stock and make a bunch of night time space invaders to glue to the ceiling :3

Wow, those actually turned out pretty nice. You should glue some magnets to those and stick them on the whiskey media fridge.

damswedon on July 30, 2010

wow those are really effing good.

Useless but so much fun :-D
It is nice to see that the machine is calibrated so you can get real results instead of random mystery objects.
Keep doing cool things, the Whiskey Media sites keep on delivering as always!

Awesome, the mystery object always looks deceptively large until Will actually picks it up but those are the perfect size for fridge magnets.

Aw, I kind of like trying to guess what the Makerbot is printing each week, but the title/description of this one totally gave it away before I could even click Play. Still neat, though!

CH3BURASHKA on Aug. 1, 2010

I got about a minute in, but still a nice surprise.

Do you guys take requests, or do you pick random blueprints from sites like Thingiverse?

Also, that was a shitty display at the end; can you take a few pictures for a mini-slideshow at the end? I really want to see some detail.
