What to Name It?

[lbarger]

My Rostock Max V2 kit is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, 10SEP14. It will initially be built as 'stock' with the exception of painted edging and upgraded power supply. I also have purchased a number of internal power extension cables. The plan is to cut these inexpensive extensions so the power supply remains stock. I've had a number of PC power supplies go bad over the years and being able to swap it out without modification is appealing. I'm thinking the paint will be two toned, blue on horizontally oriented panels and green on vertically oriented panels. (My company's colors.)

I'm excited to get started on my first build (and first 3D printer), but am thinking it needs a creative and/or humorous name. While I have a few under consideration, I figured I would ask the community at large for additional ideas. Feel free to make suggestions or 'vote' for one below!

The Printinator (a Phineas and Ferb reference)
China/Taiwan or America/USA (as in "Made in ..."),
T.A.R.D.I.S (Totally Awesome Replicating Device I?? S??),
"My Precious" (Lord of the Rings reference - obviously)
Dr. Nefario (who doesn't want to print a few minions?)
George (I'm hold him and pet him and love him and squeeze him can call him ...)

Obviously I am into cartoons/animation and Sci-Fi/fantasy. Any suggestions will be duly considered!

How about the Replicator?

Eagle, you gotta go with the Recreator or the Repeater

[jarek319]

after building it and appreciating its majesty,I ended up naming it Babel

I was originally gonna call it Randy Savage after his Tower of Power speech...

My wife wants me to call the printer China so that my parts are "made in China". I've settled on ELF (extruding layer fabricator) as it works through the night and gives me completed parts the next morning.

My wife named our Max Crowfoot, arms reminded her of a bird foot and she liked crow better than chicken. Since we'd never thought to name our old printer we retroactively named it Affy (Afinia).

the 6 legged arachnid.

Mentioning names, she just asked me how she's going to make an accounting entry for the latest parts I ordered from eBay for Crowfoot.

"What do you mean, it's just some sensors?"

"Did you notice the name of the vendor you bought them from?"

"No, why?" pause while checking "OH!"

Seems I bought them from a latex fetish site, when you go to their store it's not-safe-for-work. No idea why they had good prices on sensors, I don't think I'll ask.

So... um... what mailing lists is this going to get me on?

I call my machine Dinah Moe Humm. Causes some of the same issues.

I like the ELF name! Great when you find out what it stands for.
