[MakeLV] How Exciting!

[Josiah Ritchie]

Neat, so what sort of things will you send to the LED wall? I was just
looking at Twitter so I have this idea of it scrolling through twitter
updates. Next  ideas was music visualizations, but I imagine it would be
hard to keep in sync with the music.

Thanks for being willing to share your Makerbot. I was just reading through
your notes. I can resonate with being frustrated with having to rebuild the
plastruder. If I was designing it, that'd be one thing, but since it is
already designed it seems like it should be easily replicated on the first
try. I also didn't realize there was even 10 colors available for the ABS.
Do you go through that stuff rather quickly?
