Today is the last day of our month-long giveaway of kits from Maker Shed and the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012. As with the launch, we’re celebrating the end with ANOTHER MakerBot giveaway. Thanks for participating and we hope you and yours have a fabulous holiday.
To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away at least one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season. Today, we’re giving away our fifth and final MakerBot Thing-O-Matic (a $1,300 value!), featured on the cover of the Ultimate Kit Guide. Here’s Make: Labs intern Eric Chu’s review of Thing-O-Matic from the issue:
If you want to get into 3D printing but don’t know where to start, the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic Kit is the way to go. It’s a complete kit, so you need no additional parts, and a large user community can back you up if problems pop up (not to mention Thingiverse, where you can find awesome open source designs). It took me about 20 hours to build the Thing-O-Matic and start printing, and I improved its accuracy with more tuning, calibrating, and tinkering with settings in the ReplicatorG software. If you have any trouble, read the discussion at the bottom of every build step. I’ve since 3D-printed many fun and handy things (everyone loves a 3D-printed gift!) and the MakerBot is now by far the most-used machine at Make: Labs.
To be eligible for today’s giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment below in this post. Writing a haiku will not help your chances (but it may give us a laugh.) The entry period for today’s prize will be until 11:59pm PST tonight. We’ll choose one person at random, you’ll be notified by email, and you’ll have 48 hours to respond.

This’d give me something to play with while I wait for a job offer from the 100’s of applications I have sent out the past 6 months. Maybe even help me start a home biz!
I want one so bad. Even more after the Adafruit Show and Tell where a guy showed some 3D printed glow in the dark ornaments. I can imagine so many cool things that look innocent in daylight but are awesome or creepy at night. WANT!
I would love to have one of these
This is your last chance to give me a Makerbot. It is the final piece in my plan for world domination. Send me one and I shall be lenient on you and your kin.
Although I don’t need one to create what’s in my imagination, I would dearly love a 3D printer simply because I can create it faster, and better. (Not to mention more fun ;)
Yes, please. I so want to play with one of these….
I promise to only use it for good!
My classroom would be even more awesome with a tool like this!
Come onnnnnn makerbot.
Thanks for the chances.
I want one! I need it for my 3d printer arsenal.

One more chance (at least during this event). Just keeping my fingers crossed and my penny can nearby in case I don’t get it. :)
Hope to win. Thanks for the chance.
Winning this would make my decade
Winning, it’s what I do.
C’Mon Thing-O-Matic….this is our last chance to be together.

Alright Make, this is your final chance, hook me up with a free Think-O-Matic or watch me invest my money, time and effort into a RepRap… Not that I’m bias, I’d take either, but if I’m paying, I want the bigger build envelope.
Make me happy.
So many things to make.

This would make my year!! :)
entry
well i was entring 53 times but following the rules: ” Limit one (1) Entry per valid e-mail address per Day…. & …. Automated entries are prohibited.”

Also, thanks for what you’ve done for the maker community at large.
Very cool

Last chance for Thing-O-Matic.
well, basically, there’s no reason that i shouldn’t get it. (trying to think positive)
This little MakerBot. I think he’s searching for his former master. I’ve never seen such devotion in a MakerBot before. Ah, he claims to be the property of an Obi-Wan Kenobi. Is he a relative of yours? Do you know what he’s talking about?
PS: I’ll play the part of Obi-Wan. Please return the MakerBot to me!
Thanks for the great month of giveaways!
In for a win from the airport… St. Louis bring me luck.

Nice kit. One of my co-workers has one and he’s made some cool stuff with it. This is one of things I’ve been planning on getting for the last couple of years. Maybe when finances are more stable.
Perhaps I’ll get it this time!
Keeping my fingers crossed!

You can hold your ideas in your hands.
The perfect gift!

Excellent giveaways. Hope I win the 3D Printer!
I have been reading about 3d printers for most of the last year.
Please Santa Maker choose me!
Yes Please.
My Kingdom for a Thing-O-Matic!!!

Please Sir, can I have some more?
This would be a great gift.
This is like my life long dream! :D
What a great Christmas present!

Santa Machine – do want/need/slavishly desire

I am a Designer. I design stuff to win production opportunities. A rapid prototype machine in my studio would be great. Please do pick my name/comment!
Thanks.
I need this!
I want a blue bunny…
Last chance!
Looks like fun!
One last try!
Hope it’s me!
crossing my fingers :)
Would change everything!
Plastic widgets-one extrusion at a time
Here Goes
Thing-O-Matic would sure come in handy in making an homage to Rodin’s “Gates of Hell” If this is the last Thing-O-Matic, what comes next?
We still show Bre’s Three Little Piggies video to my wife’s class year after year. Would be cool to print some little piggies to go along with the video.
why not me?
My hubby’s B-day is the 25th! He only wants this! Make his dream come true!!!
I sooooo want a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic Kit!!!
Entry
Num Num NUm….
cool
Must…have…Thing-O-Matic!!!
Wow. I’d love to win this.
/ow i could use one
This would be the best Christmas present ever!!!
last chance to give me a prize
Yes please
I’m not sure what I’ll make with this, but the process of putting all the pieces together will surely be a learning experience. Being an ISTP Myers Briggs Type, I love a thought-invoking challenge.
One last chance for a cool kit.
I promise that if I win this makerbot, I won’t print out an army of creepy crawlies and scatter them about the Make office….
did I win?
Pick me for this kit please,
Fingers crossed!
i would use this !
Sure could use one of these!
One last shot. Please Santa Make.
A little old-school ASCII tribute!

My husband would love this.
Delicious entry (I’ve been baking)

My b-day is next week
Once I wept for I had no shoes, then I came upon a man who had no feet. So I took his shoes.
This is cool stuff. What a great gift this would be!
This would be a very Merry Christmas, indeed! Please send a Makerbot my way!!!
Good Luck everyone!! and Happy Holidays!
That would nicely take care of the last minute shopping!
Too cool, i could make any toy i want, like Santa’s factory.
Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
Please MAKE my day!
This would be the BEST Christmas present period. Good luck to everyone!!!
Even though we’ve seen the Printrbot, we at fixerscollective.org would still be excited to have a Maker Bot in our space.

Dear MakeSanta,
All I want for Christmas is a 3d printer. I’ve been very good this year (or at least good enough). Thanks in advance.
Greg
Maker-bots are super cool.

endless possibilities await!
hey, you know who’d love one of them things? Me!
Just finished watching the movie “Christmas Noel” where we learned that miracles DO in fact come true. I wish for this ultimate addition for my kids and myself! (OK, for myself first and *then* for the kids).
pick me! please? haha thanks for the opportunity, this would be neat.
Please with a cherry on top? My birthday’s on December 28th, if we’re pulling the birthday card. ;-) <3
Well here’s my last entry with the whole song and final stanza. This has been a blast! Even though I may not win its great seeing all this great stuff being given away. Thanks Make.

My Thing-o-matic.
Here goes hope.
This would be better than winning the lottery!
(except I could buy one and have money left over)
Fifth times the charm!!! I promise that, should I win, I will use this MakerBot to make another MakerBot, then those two MakerBots shall make two more MakerBots, and then those four shall make four more! But then that’s it.
oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please :D
I’d love to put one of these babies to work!
Want
This would make a nice a toy.
I can make all kinds of things with this think maker. :)
Beats the hell out of using moldable plastic (polycaprolactone) for making things!
pretty please
Yes, please!
I would love this sitting by my tree for Christmas
Me me!
hmmm. if I got a makerbot this year, Santa could skip my house next year, i’d make my own toys!
Just in time for Christmas!
last time’s the charm
fun toy
This would be fantastic.
once again, registering a comment for the mini-Maker bots at our house ;)
please oh please! i so want to print some bones.
one last attempt
thing-o-matic! @jefforulez:twitter
Still would be my #1 gift of the season of reason.
I would really like to win this. It will come in handy when I take over the world.
Haikus may not help
But nor do they hurt my odds
One last chance to win
Pleeeeeease
This would complete my robot-building tools.
Can’t imagine owning this!
This would make my Christmas especially bright!
Happiness is a warm MakerBot Thing-O-Matic
Fingers crossed!!
please oh please oh please let me win
Last chance!
Not much time to spare, glad I got an entry for one last chance! Great job with the giveaway , I’ve seen a few kits i probably wouldn’t have otherwise.
5is lucky
Cool! What is it?
This would look great on my workbench
Love it.
Want!
Please, please, oh please pick me!
My Mind’s big plans, and my little money allow nothing to come to reality. I wish everyone luck
Peace on earth & goodwill to all men. I’ll settle for the Thing-o-Matic!
Ohhhh 5th chance… come on MakerBot!
This would be incredibly awesome!
I could really think up some killer projects with this.
Thank you for the giveaway. There is an almost endless list of things I could do with this.
That sounds cool
This is the missing link for some serious robotic motorcycle mods; being able to mock up 3D scale models of parts for non-techie fabricators to connect to interesting Arduino / Android stuff is how I’d use it :)
So, SO, many ideas for this I’d LOVE to win. Please, please, please!
It would be great to build parts.
I’d make my own Christmas tree!
Woo … a Makerbot!
Cool!
Watch the servo motors as my plans and schemes flow in… It lives!!! OK, maybe that was a bit over the top, but I would be an excellent home for a shiny new MakerBot. Pick me!
Entry
Please enter me in the giveaway
This thing rocks!
My wife wants more kids… I’ve digitized the two that we already have an with a decent paint job I might be able to convince her that MakerBottted kids are (in the words of Calvin’s dad) “… like a Blue Light Special at Kmart. Almost as good and a lot cheaper”.
I would love this! Sign me up! Thanks!
Crossing my fingers, crossing my toes, knocking on wood… .owww,,, my head!
This would be a way to cool tool to win!
Yes!
Plasticky goodness for all!
I love Make!
Just in time for the holidays!
OMG! I want this!
This looks interesting.
Happy Holidays! Thanks for doing this.
Oh sweet baby munkiez, please let me win this!
This sure looks awesome!
I have the perfect place for this.
Ooo… This looks like fun to build.
So. Cool.
I could make some nice frames for some bots with this.
Just in time for this last one. Good luck, all.

Sleep easy and dream clear.

The mayans had it right I think!
Dreaming of a Makerbot!
Low-ish-res 3D printing FTW!
One day a makerbot shall own me too
<3
Oh the coolness I could make! There no thing like a bot for the holidays!!
It’s about a year since I become really interested in having my own 3D printer. Meanwhile I amassed manuals, books and all sort of other info to do myself and operate such a toy.
trying to sneak in before the deadline is up. hope I make it.
Entry Please
Me!
A MakerBot please
Would make me a happy dude
Random pick haiku
let it be my gift
Soooo many projects and so little time! A Maker Bot would be great to get my mitts on! Great GAW! Thanx
Taking another shot at this. Best of luck to all commenters.
Yeah thing-o-matic!
I want one please!
Am I too late?
What would I make?
A mess, for sure :)
This the Kit-a-Day Giveaway is now closed. Thanks for participating and congrats to all those who won.
You people Rocked.
what is arduino
I am loving this giveaway.
A give away of this quality, well this is my DREAM, to be able to make my own parts, for my little boys remote controlled car, and other small toys, without waiting for days, and sometimes weeks for a gear, or part… please pick me… Thank you…
I am game. Sign me up. Thanks
This is freaking awesome
Nice giveaway!
You should repeat it :P
Been dreaming with one of these 3d printers for ages!
It is my dream to own a 3d printer and I would love to own this one. I have been watching tutorials on usage, time lapses of prints, and even youtube videos on how to put different models together, but this one is the most elegant by far. It is a beautiful piece of machinery and It would be both a privilege and an honor to own one. Unfortunately, I have no job due to discrimination in my town It is highly unlikely I will ever be able to afford such a masterpiece. Thank you for at least considering me.
