Re: We need a mascot!

How about Ollie Dude'l? I know, it's completely cheesy but it was easy. I got to work from home today which meant I was playing. I came up with this robot thing in openscad. I didn't make arms yet because my head is frying trying to figure out how that will work.

Re: We need a mascot!

How about a mini Solidoodle with its foot on a makerbot.
Because makerbot is  always cutting down Solidoodle.

Probably more to do with Sam Cervantes (Solidoodle CEO) having left Makerbot as their COO to set up Solidoodle wink wink

Re: We need a mascot!

How about a pile of PLA spaghetti with a pair of googley eyes glued to it? It would represent the struggle of the Solidoodle end user after UPS delivers the beat up box. tongue

Re: We need a mascot!

I recomend a contest for design of the mascot.  As a side note I like the way the solidoodle looks, perhaps that is due to bad eyesight..... 
There are some awesome designers here on the forum....

Re: We need a mascot!

Here's my rough attempt at a mascot.  It's incredibly generic and contrived, but maybe it will be a start to something!

See what you can add to him!  I pulled the Solidoodle's logo color and it seems to be an olive color:

I knocked out a few of them on his "ears" and arms.  Still have a few left though.

I added some beveled edges to the bottom and raised his "legs" by a few mm. I am going to print this in 20 min and 32 seconds. waiting on something to finish

Re: We need a mascot!

Excellent!  I'm thinking that his arms need work, and he might need something to not make him look so generic.  His body is probably good (it's supposed to be a Solidoodle), but the rest of him is just a mashup of Wall-E (wheels) and other generic robot features.

Re: We need a mascot!

Not sure if I can make it, but how about a solidoodle spider?  I have always considered spiders nature's makers and while the 'doodle isn't pretty, it gets the job done!

I would rather see something by YSB.  I'm sure he could make 3D printing sexy.

How about the solidoodle vixen ... she can be a nerdy school girl with a secret obsession with extruded plastic.
