I've got some Floppy Emu enclosures available now atΒ http://www.bigmessowires.com/macintosh-floppy-emu/ . I ended up going with both clear acrylic and brown hardboard. No classic rainbow paint job, but you could try adding that yourself if you're artistic. πŸ™‚

For Christmas I'm hoping Santa brings a home laser cutter!
I bet those aint cheap.....Β 

Maybe if you did your own CO2 laser head with a CNC machine. using the focus lens as your Z axis.Β

Didn't you get a MakerBot last year or the year before? I want your tree! πŸ˜‰

I totally agree.

Yeah, I don't think Santa will be granting my laser cutter wish. πŸ™‚ They seem to run several thousand dollars at least, and are big and bulky and a hassle to maintain. It sure would be fun though...

The Printrbot I got last year is $349, and looks like a bargain compared to laser-anything!
