Introducing the MAKERBOT 3D printed uke:









This was made and given to me by the guys at work. Guess it's my going away gift.

Nice going away present. I keep getting going away presents, too. I wasn't planning to leave. Hmm...you think there's a message here?

I really don't think that "printer" is a proper name for this technology. It is somewhat like auto-cad hooked to a plastic extruder that plots the object in three dimensions.

I have looked at a lot of 3D printed objects since being given this ukulele. There are some other ukulele models online and one really sounded great. I doubt that the one I was given will sound nearly as nice as one previously posted here.
