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. 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). See the Kit-A-Day Giveaway landing page for full sweepstakes details and Official Rules.
Important Note: If you enter this drawing, when it’s over, please check the place where you registered to comment (eg. Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter). Some people are winning these kits and then not responding when we send them a message using the available means of contacting them. We want to make sure you get your giveaway!
There’s that temptation to shout FIRST again…..

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.
last one, please
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.

Please Please Please let me win!
I could make some great christmas ornaments with the makerbot.

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.

I would give both of ny legs for this! It combines both of my favorite things, building from scratch and computer control. I have been using LEGO Mindstorms to build and program for about 10 years now. I am retired on disability and would use this thing 12-16 hours a day 7 days a week. I did not even know you were giving them away. Pleeeezzz make my Christmas and keep me entertained throughout the new year.

Here is hoping for an early Christmas present.
Need. Need.

Merry christmas – this would be a good present below the “virtual tree” :)
So, if I put this on a trailer being pulled down the road, would that turn it into a 4D printer?!
that would make a sweet gift from you to me
Make: My Day and Make: Me A Winner
By the way, awesome job you guys been doing!
Happy Christmas All, and Merry New Years!
Happy Holidays!
Thank you for this excellent giveaway! Perhaps I can use it to make spare parts for the kids toys that they destroy three days after they get them.
Santamaker, I’ve been a good boy this year – a Thing-O-Matic would be really neat!
I don’t think a football’s a very good Christmas present. MakerBot rules!

Now to end the contest with a win!
This would be an awesome Christmas present to my son and I. I have been showing him (he’s 11) how cool science can be. To be able to make your own prototypes and items would be the icing on the cake.
I miss the -o-matic suffix.
II want to win,
Thats not much of a sin.
I have to much free time,
so i might print a 3D sign.
Or perhaps a hand,
and use it as a stand.
this is the ultimate gift for myself
This really was a fun contest!
I would love to have one of these. Way too many things to print with a 3D printer!
Want.
That is all.

I would really like to have one of these.
its been a kinda fun yet frustrating month, entering and not winning.
Are you doing any analysis of comments? Like how many for each kind of prize?
how many people posted short “entry” comments vs long missives?
might be a bit of added fun.
Mele Kalikimaka!

Ok Santa, we’ve had our differences of opinion in the past, but seriously… I never did get that Easy Bake Oven, you kinda owe me by this point…

Hope springs eternal.
