MakerBot sends Colbert into space:
After scanning Stephen Colbert‘s head in preparation for Bre’s appearance on the Colbert Report, we encouraged Thingiverse users to mashup the Colbert model with all sorts of other objects. (And got to work ourselves.)
Not content to confine ourselves to mashups, we initiated the MakerBot Space Program with a mission to send a bust of Stephen Colbert into space on a weather balloon with a Flipcam and a GPS enabled cell phone.
Check out the video after the break.
I couldn’t check out of the TI Store. It keeps getting hung on a page asking for my company’s URL and whether I’m going to use this for military biological research or some such nonsense. I just emptied my shopping cart and gave up.
