Glass bottle lightly filled with scrap ABS and poured in just about an inch of acetone (up to the bottom line) and it all disolved into ABS goo.
The latest version of MakerBot Makerware has a cool setting for making cat-shaped infills in a 3D printed object.
Here demomstrated on the good old trusty Thing-o-Matic 3D printer.
This is what happens when the extruder puts down less plastic than skeinforge expects.

resized to 50mm tall, ABS, printed at 0.1 layer height using Miracle Grue
Left: Maximum build size on a MakerBot Replicator 1: 150mm
Right: Near maximum build size on the Unofficial ReplicatorXL: 248mm (I think it can go to 255 or so)
Custom Replicator case increases build height by 100mm.
Almost 10" tall print - 248mm to be exact - my tallest MakerBot print by a mile. I think I can go to 255 total now? Custom Replicator case increases build height by 100mm.
After several failed prints due to the narrow unsupported left arms, I tried printing with support. Looks pretty good.
New 400mm rods, but the stock Z-axis threaded rod is long enough. Custom Replicator case increases build height by 100mm.
The Z-axis nut needs to be moved from above the platform to below it, or the z-axis won't have enough travel. Custom Replicator case increases build height by 100mm.
The cut files on Thingiverse for the Replicator case ( www.thingiverse.com/thing:18813 ) are NOT right, and not the files used for production. The Mightyboard has moved, so I needed to 'edit' my case with a dremel.

I think this photo turned out rather well.

Had a spare set of Gen 3 electronics kicking around and decided to mount them in a nice lasercut box. Means I can sling motion control into a crate and carry it around for quick use in the field.
Yes, I know the linear axis is rattly!

Here you can see the wobble in the print which occurred because it's so tall and the xy stage is so thin.
Needed a way to stress relieve these cables, and keep them from getting caught in the build platform movement. This setup has been on 2 MakerBots (1136 and 1290) for about 12lbs worth of ABS printing now and has worked without an issue.

I got sick of waiting so I used tweezers to scrape out most of the PVA inside. :) This definitely needs agitation to speed up the dissolving. Also, it seems the PVA was settling inside. Flipping it over made it start to fall out of the holes as it dissolves.
I rinsed it off and put it in a fresh bottle of hot tap water.
This is how the weight was supposed to go, but it torques it the wrong way.
