We’re giving away amazing kits from our new Make: Ultimate Kit Guide EVERY DAY — thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, including MakerBots!
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 fourth 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. The Winners List is kept on the Giveaway landing page. That’s it! No purchase necessary or anything else to do. Please leave only one comment per post. You can enter as many giveaways as you like until you win. This giveaway is for US residents only. You also must be 18 years old to enter (Kids: Ask your parents to enter).

oh the things i would make.
Come on Makerbot! Daddy needs a new pair of 3d printed shoes!
aweeeeesum
If I win this we can skip the other 11 days of Christmas :-)
This will MAKE my day to be able to MAKE all of the 3-D printable things I see in MAKE!
Yay.. another thing to enter and never win
Please! there are only so many more days left and Ive yet to win anything.
Oh man… number 4. Only one left after this. This is so awesome having the opportunity to have chance to win any of this great stuff!
C’mon Santa, lemme win this MakerBot!
I’m gonna have to throw my name in this hat again. After much discussion, its been decided that a Thing-O-Matic is something our eclectic learning center really needs.
See, I know what’s going on here.
I keep entering and not winning because MAKE wants me to believe I’m not getting it, just like when I was a kid and I really wanted something for Christmas and my parents were all “we can’t afford that one thing that you really, really want more than anything else” but still magically I would wind up with it under the tree, sometimes, though I never got that pony or working light saber.
When I win this and I am going to win it, I’ll finally be able to print my own Christmas presents, and maybe Hanukkah presents too–and Kwanzaa, why not–and no one will ever break my heart again and if they do I’ll just print a new one.
I built more gears for him, pa rum pum pum pum
The PLA did flow, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
the things I could do with that printer…
I hope I win!
Hope… it’s that time of year!
If I win it, I will mint it.

I’m a conventional machinist / instrument maker by trade. when i switched careers 5 years ago, i kept my conventional machines. i’m “_that_ guy”– you know, the one that makes all his own shit. i haven’t bought a new tool or piece of equipment in 1o years. everything i pick up is second or third hand and i refurbish it myself. most times, by making my own parts. i want to pass this down to my kids, but having a CNC machine at home is impractical, until now! this thing addresses all my concerns about CNC: ease of use, portability, practicality; and of course accuracy and repeatability! nicely made machine that i know the boys will love to learn on.
Wait–#4….? I must have missed entering for one somewhere in the middle! Oh noes!!
I must have this

Hope I make it.

All I want for Christmas is a Thing-o-Matic!!
Oh Please, I really need this!
w00t!
Let’s do it.
Been skipping the other giveaways in fear I would win one of those and then ruin my chances of entering for a Makerbot. That’s right MAKE, I’ve been purposely holding out on entering the other giveaways, agonizing night after night seeing all the awesome giveaways I dare not enter…that I can not enter.
The pain I have gone through MAKE just to make sure I have a chance at getting a Makerbot. Help me MAKE, help me to stop my torment and allow me to once again freely enter MAKE giveaways. Give me the Makerbot, help end this needless suffering. Give me this Makerbot and I shall give the my first born print!
Allow me this Makerbot and the ability to stand atop the highest mountain and proclaim:
“I MAKE, THEREFOR I AM!!!!!”
I want!
Here is to hoping and dreaming…such a sweet prize!!!
The Maker Bot Thing O-Matic kit would literally CHANGE MY LIFE!!! I’m an artist and a seller of Steampunk stuff. Oh, the coolness I would create with this thing!
If I offer a sacrifice to the god Pettis, will fortune smile upon my house?
Oh, oh, pick me!
literaly the only thing I want for chrismas

I would be really delighted to have one.

I don’t feel lucky!! I want to print another printer.
A vote for me is a vote for…umm… world domination?
A gizmo, a gadget, a odd looking thing… how I could make my favorite things.
Luck be my Lady…
Crosses fingers.
wow this is so awesome I hope I win
This would most definitely make my Christmas awesome!
Oh would love one for my opengarage.org project!
Along with all the other things this would be good for, it’d be fun to use it to print solid boxes around other small gifts as a way of “wrapping” them.
I would love to see how other architects are using this kind of 3d printing capacity.
woot
I promise to print more printers if you pick me.
Still hoping.
Worth a shot – why not?
If I had one of these, I would use it to teach and that would be very very exciting!

OK I’ve missed the last dozen giveaways, now I’m finally entering. Always wanted one of these…
if i win this, i’ll print more 3d printers
if i win this, i’ll print more 3d printers
woh this will help me with my 3d imaging design :)
I need a MakerBot. Seriously.
Holy crap, that’s a sh** ton of comments… lol It’d be tight to see how this guy works and make some sweet ass action figures; or sweet contraptions that I could hollow out and drop circuit boards in. The possibilities are endless. A toy that would undoubtedly force me into unemployment and re-employment near simultaneously. ThinkGeek, here I come.
I hope Santa thinks I was a good boy this year!
I wish it could print Beer…but I wouldn’t complain if I won it!
I’ll take one.
lol re-reading this, I’m recognizing that “bomb” in this context could be misleading… haha. Not actual bombs; bomb as in “sweet”, “tight”, “cool”, “super-geek-hella-awesomeo”… lmao Just edited the post to remove the offending text….. out of fear for my non-terrorist self. Now reads “…sweet contraptions…” :>)
MakerBot is awesome!
Hoping to win this one. Enter me.
I’d love to have a ToM!
it’s my turn now
Pick me
I’ve wanted a 3d printer ever since I saw Jurassic Park.
Almost the last chance…

There, a stolen haiku. Entered.
Strange, is it not? that of the myriads who
Before us pass’d the door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of the Road,
Which to discover we must travel too.
So many projects, so little MakerBot.
I feel like a winner. I smell toast.
How many MakerBots could a MakerBot make if a MakerBot could make MakerBots?
Yesyesyes!!! Fourth time’s the charm!!
makerbot, makerbot, makerbot….

Yes, I want one of those.
clever comments haven’t helped me win. hcooyoqerlhiicyihk
I feel lucky.
Lucky day I hope….

I’ll take two please! ;) I’ve been looking heavily at 3d printers lately. Keep trying to determine what to make, but having one on my desk would certainly get the juices flowing.

Well, maybe I’ll have better luck this time around!
It’s basically the only thing I’ve ever wanted.
I’d like this Maker Machine in order to help start up a game company. Nice pieces on a small-scale production would help a lot!
Hmmm. Fascinating.

This would make my current unemployment happier.
So many reasons to want this!
I could use one of these to make baubles for the tree

Maker Bot plus do it yourself recycling of materials plus time and solar power equals most efficient recycling initiative in USA history!! Allow me the honor of making canoes, mopeds, green houses, aircraft drones, and anything else I can imagine. Like to use this to experiment with induction heating/ printing aluminum.

This would be a really nice surprise to win one of these. Wonder what the plastic stock it uses costs.
Hi

There was once a girl from nantucket,
who tried to print out a bucket,
after fighting with repg,
she was no longer happy,
and finally said, “ah fuck it.”
Very nice!
Here goes nothing…crossing my fingers!
So many things I could make…
I want to win!!!!!!!!!!!1
I can do so much good in the world with this. Or maybe just print awesome action figures and toys for my kids.
I think I’ll win one this time!
Good for making birthday AND Xmas gifts for next year!!!
I thought third time was a charm. Perhaps fourth time will do the trick!
Entry
Please pick me
Do want!
The joy of making anything from your mind.
I have my fingers crossed, too, this time!
Let’s try again. I’m developing a growing interest in Industrial Design, so this would be an awesome thing to have to do prototyping and such!

I want to make something new everyday next year!
now even less of a chance for you to win now that I’m here!
Nice.

Of all the neat things in this month’s giveaways, this is the greatest!
What would happen if we could get two print heads to work in tandem? (Two print ‘heads’ are better than one!) Could we cobble together a Maker-Hydra to print a bunch of things all at the same time OR alternate colors when printing a single object??????
Me wanty.
Do want!
Oh wow. Good stuff.
Ready, set, print!
this would be nice for hubby.

I’ve just taken the CrashSpace LA monthly MakerBot class–I’m ready!

Me, me, me! Pick me! This looks like the most awesome machine every made! Better even than the iron lung or Doc Brown’s Delorean because with this I could make either of them!
OOH! OOH! OVER HERE!! I’d love to win this 3-D Maker Bot to fuel my need for tiny soldiers to take over the neighborhood.
TAKE THAT YOU CRAZY KIDS! NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!

Will it help me take over the world?

Oh man how I want one of these! Thanks for the chance!
sorry people I think I’m going to win this one!
Mine mine mine! hopefully

Yo.
**** yeah
Sorry, fellow commenters. I have it on good authority that I win. That authority being myself from the future, shortly after making the final components of my time machine with my new thing-o-matic. My future self also brought back a 3d-printed dog with a dog tag reading “Charlie”, my new buddy:). Hey wait, this doesn’t count as meddling with the past, is it? Uh oh…head swimming…dang it!! My future self may have screwed it up for me. Well, I still have Char…hey, where’d Charlie go?? Dang it!!
maybe this one can be mine
I have been wanting to try one of these for a long time. Not sure what thing I would make first!
Surely I’ll win this time.
Maybe I’ll win this one?
So many ideas already!
Crossing fingers, toes, eyes and nose :)
Entering! C’mon, MAKE my Christmas. ;P
Oh please, oh please, oh please….
Fourth times the charm?
Slightly better odds than winning the lottery!
4 out of 5! Cmon already! This looks awesome!
Double plus want.
Will keep trying
I SO need one of these. Pick ME, pick ME, PICK ME!!!!!
Yes!
Man, my kids would love this. As would I.
it would be a lot nicer than having to mill every piece to make one from scrach.
And I will print out world peace in 3D for all the children of the world!
Yes please, that’d be great to learn how to drive!
trying again…
Cool
A Makerbot would certainly be an asset to the toy lab. Here’s to luck!
wish i could win this
win win win win win win win

So very, very cool!
Would love to have one of these!!!!
Woooo.

I’ve wanted one of these things for forever! It’s like a Calvin & Hobbes invention except real!
Getting a thing-o-matic would be great. Winning one would be amazing.
I want a MakerBot! I want to make prototypes in my kitchen : )
Wow, this would be a cool thing to win!
Why so many comments on this one? Oh….I see.

Oh, I want this so much.

A Christmas present for myself!
A fantastic prize! Please enter me to win this. Thanks!
It’s the big one.
Hopin’………………
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win this magic maker.
The bf keeps asking me if I want one. I totally want one!
oh wow! A 3D printer?? This could be fun. My cat thinks that the 2D printer is his evil nemesis. He’d really freak out with one of these. Muhuwahaha!!! First cat toys and then the world!
Another chance to win!
Awesome machine
Those Electronic Component Packs would also be great prizes. Hint hint.
I only found thingiverse this past month; I can’t believe I lived this long without it. But, thingiverse is just a drool factory without owning a 3D printer of my own; therefore you must realize I cannot live without owning my own thing-o-matic! Please send it to me. I’ll MAKE you a 3D printed thank you note!
I could make so many things with this!
This would be a great addition to our brand new Hackerspace.
Only one more chance to win after this!
I really want one of these to help create some of my ideas before my Solidwork’s license runs out. :/
Ooh, so pretty…
I would love to build my own Thing-O-Matic and make my own things! Thanks, Make!
its mine ! mine!! ALL MINE ! but it needs to be larger for objects bigger than a bunny ;)~ !!
I cant’ wait to get into the 3d printing!
I was just kidding all those other times. This is the one I want to win.

Hoping to win this one. I know my odds!
My plan is to win this awesome MakerBot Thing-O-Matic.

I was really hoping that I won that awesome Arduino kit the other day. Maybe I’ll have better luck today.
Ah, the things I would (attempt to) make :) Incidentally, does anyone know if the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic software is friendly to mounting a tool besides the extuder, such as a dremel?
please please please!
Please, please, please!
This would be the best present. Would make fabricating parts for my thesis SO much easier too.

Microwaved burritos.
Please, I want to make a statue of a lady’s bum!
Do want, please!
Wonder Twin Powers Activate… Form of… A Makerbot Thing-O-Matic!
Instead of buying….making, please!
come on random luck… I need me a makerbot!
Your comment here.
come on random luck
Awesome!!!
My 10 year old son thinks that this would be the coolest thing ever to make. What he would do with in when completed he’s not sure. At the risk of having to buy one I have kept to myself; custom Lego blocks, those little animals that come in the vending machine at the grocery store, more harmful ammo for his Nerf guns, three dimensional Mine Craft creatures……. you get the idea. Where I would squeeze this into the garage is another dilemma. Fortunately 2261other mad makers have left a comment so odds are I’m safe……..
N E E D T H IN G M A K E R
I wanna make things!
I would totally make things with this!
It’s so cool that you’re giving away so many of these (and so many other exciting things as well)!
Aww yeah, Lets crash and burn!
Merry X-Mas everyboby!!
Trying for a third time…
Can I have one of these too?
Dear Santa,

Great Giveaway!
Ooh me!
Pls send me a Makerbot :)
Built one with my Son over Christmas-absolutely brilliant-both the building and then the printing!!!!!
Want one for myself!
i’m interested in learning how to use sketchup for creating small objects. Not really interested in architectural, construction or woodworking tutorials … any suggestions.
