description
This was our pitch that we delivered at the Hardware Innovation Workshop and World Makerfaire 2013 in NYC. The Makeraser is a multitool for 3D Printers and with it you can easily remove prints, smooth prints, glue prints and stickify the print bed. Pretty useful, eh? Makelastic is a non-toxic chemistry that you can rubberize your 3D Print with. You can make it yourself using old PLA prints and our catalyst - cool eh?

Makeraser + Makelastic
Accessories for Makers that Expand the Possibilities of 3D Printing
3D Printers Have Problems
Stepping Prints don’t Stick
Or Prints stick too well
Brittleness (PLA)
Existing Solutions are not ideal
Immature
Inconsistent
Doesn’t Work
Expensive
The Makeraser
A Multitool for 3D Printers
-User gets better prints, from the first layers to post-processing-Works with any FDM 3D Printer
Applications
Removing Prints
The right amount of ‘Makeraser Ink’
Glue Prints Together
Stickify Printbed
Smooth Surfaces
Makelastic
Makelastic is a non-toxic chemical that plasticizes PLA, making it tougher yet more flexible. Most importantly, it’s made of recycled PLA – users can use theirLeftovers to create Makelastic themselves!
PLA (Rafts, failed prints, etc.)
Makelastic Precursor(Ethanol)
Makelastic Catalyst Viola! Makelastic!
Applications
Dip or Apply Makelastic to Part
Dry Part
Use it to your Heart’s content!
Perfect for
-Tires/Treads-Shoes-Gloves-Gears-Hinges-Gaskets-Squeeze-toys-Joints-Moulds for Casting-Buttons-Feet Nubs-Cases-Bumpers
The Big Vision
A Makeraser and a jug of Makelastic next to every 3D Printer.
- 20 different retail stores ready to buy our product- Made in Space is testing the Makeraser, could be sent
to ISS in 2014- Working with MIT to improve upon Makelastic
