Description

At my university we have a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic which has been aptly named "Madre" ("Mother", in spanish) because it will print the necessary parts to build a second generation of 3D printers (several Prusa-Mendel printers).

I decided to create a small sign that we could place on the printer. I printed the letters separately from the background, in different colors. The background has the shape of the letters indented so that they can be fitted inside. I was amazed by how well it turned out, but obviously few people (if any) can benefit from the files to print this specific sign, so I have written a tutorial explaining how to make your own design using Inkscape and Openscad.

I hope you find it useful!

Your link is broken (dyndns not resolving host name mrgroup).  Is there another source for the tutorial?

So cruel to chain your mother to the table! :)

Well, not that it would happen, but we don't want to risk our mother getting stolen!
