Scribit is a vertical plotter that you hang, using wire, from two nails placed in your wall. After telling the device (via smartphone or computer) what the precise distance is between the nails, it can now draw on your wall, from files that you feed it, with accuracy.

The thing distinguishing Scribit from other vertical plotters is the proprietary ink and an internal erasing mechanism. This allows it to erase what it's drawn, and the MIT-based developers envision it being used to turn walls into large-scale, refreshable "screens:"

Scribit was successfully crowdfunded earlier this year, and you can still pre-order one here. They aim to begin shipping the first models in January of 2019.

    Sponsored Post: MakerBot Design Series: The 3D Printed Skateboard

    We started this design series taking a look at iterative design with bikes, and now we're ready to shift gears (hah!) to tackle an increasingly popular and more radical form of transportation: the skateboard. There's a long history of 3D printed skateboards online, from the daredevils at Braille Skateboarding who will skate absolutely anything to the early board designs on Thingiverse, but it wasn't until we joined Frog's skateboard challenge that I committed to designing a functional 3D printed
