Aleph Objects, Inc., makers of the LulzBot desktop 3D printer, is giving away eight of their AO-100 printers to eight lucky hackerspaces around the world. ([link](http://www.3ders.org//articles/20130323-lulzbot-is-giving-away-8-3d-printers-to-hackerspaces.html)).

Let's see some ideas, people!

- Use Kinect to make bobble-heads for people.  [example](http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2012/07/05/custom_bobblehead_dolls_3d_printing_s_smartest_dumb_application_yet.html)
- Action figures for all members.  [example](http://actionfigurelabs.com/)
- Custom earbuds
- Fisheye/Macro lens accessories for iPhones etc.
- Durable custom stencils for spray-painting (think equipment cases)
- Custom eyeglass frames.

Custom Arduino enclosures?
