At the thingiverse, we have a passion for planetary gears which is why we’re excited about billion’s square gears. In the comments of billion’s thing, we were pointed to this amazing video!

Last weekend’s kickoff of LAZZZORBATTLE2008 was awesome, but you can still upload 12×12 designs for the worldwide 12×12 show. Huge props go out to all the people who are participating and to the taco truck team for rocking it and co-blogging the event!

We’re going to have an art show at NYCResistor on 12.12.08 at 8:12PM where we’ll have our favorite designs out on display for you to check out and view. We’ll keep you posted with more details here!

So keep coming up with awesome 12×12 projects and uploading them to the thingiverse and tagging them LAZZZORBATTLE2008!

Yesterday I held another Lazzzor class and more folks entered the Lazzzorbattle! Check these out!

Rather than write individual posts for the rest I’m just going to do one giant post with a ton of pics. Things got kinda crazy during the 2nd half of the Team TacoTruck lazzzorfest. Messy food, goofy designs, bad smells, good smells, Illustrator fights, potty breaks, disturbing popping sounds, science, fiction, mishaps, burn-through, mockery, giggling. It was amazing! We’ll try to do this again soon.

XOXOXOXO
Team TacoTruck!

Carrie drew a cute little birdie. We took a photo of it, brought it into AI, vectorized it, and cut it into a t-shirt and her phone. The phone looked great. The t-shirt looked super too, like very fine embroidery, but unfortunately it cut all the way through the fabric! So it kinda ruined the shirt. Heh, sorry about that.

Neg-Fi went a bit kooky with their logo. Ryan wouldn’t let me give him a Laxxxoor Tattoo ™, but we engraved their logo on pretty much everything else in the studio, including lots of tacos and a bagel!

About 1/3 of Team TacoTruck working on their retina tans.

Ron and Netta designed a shark mobile! Ron cut it from 3/16″ ply and it was lovely.

Who laid a stinker??? THERE’S TOO MUCH HUMMUS IN THE STUDIO!

Ryan broke his finger in a “high fiving accident” right before playing a gig last week. Really.

OF COURSE we engraved a taco truck on a taco.

While the adults were doing important work, !Rama, Dlisah, and Michelle made a big mess in the other room. Wheee!

What a great day. Thanks to everyone who came and played with us. Let’s do it again soon!

Dlisah sketched some amazing monsters. We scanned them in, vectorized them, and cut them on some cardboard. We also singed them into Dlisah’s jacket!

Cotton Fabric Paper seems to be infused with some sort of stinky chemical. We did a test cut and Tali sniffed it and it smelled horrible so we decided not to use it.

No comment.

Today I held a class on getting started with the lasercutter. My students all made awesome and innovative designs on 12″x12″ of acrylic that are complete LAZZZORBATTLE contestants! Check them out! The battle isn’t over, keep designing and uploading!
