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 one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season.
To kick things off, we’re giving away a 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.

Please randomly pick me!
Great! Would like to win the Thing-O-Matic :)
Sounds really cool!
I’ve been following the development of the MakerBot line for some time now, and I’m very impressed with the evolutionary process it has undergone, with tons of input from the user community. I’ve been saving my pennies to buy one for a very long time, but the economics just haven’t allowed it. Winning one would certainly put a major new tool in the toolbox!
Would love to win, even if I am just starting to buy the parts to build a Prusa Mendel…
great start!
I would love love a make bot!
I would totally love a Thing-o-Matic kit! Pick me! Pick me!
Oh man, I would love a MakerBot.
Comment. Comment comment comment.
Wow, Make IS the greatest magazine in the world! Honestly after finding Make last year it has stirred my soul to build things, I am now relearning all the electronic lessons from my college years and introducing my kids to all the fun things we can build. The Toy issue is perfect for that.
Thanks Again, Craig

3d printer would be perfect for helping me prototype my graduate projects, and possibly to use later for examples to bring to interviews.
My two cents.
Wow! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

so many wonderful things I could do with this…
Oh pick me. This is totally a post!!!!!
Please put me down for one
This is such an awesome tool! Endless possibilities.
I had the chance a few weeks ago to play around with a friend’s Thing-O-Matic. Once you start using it, you begin to ‘see’ all sort of uses for it. I don’t have access to the machine anymore, and I’m starting to feel withdrawal symptoms. It’s sort of like when a musician has their amplifier break down. You can’t manifest your creativity into the world anymore. It’s a sad day… for the world.
I’ve been designing 3-D objects like crazy in an effort to cope.
(Help me, Gareth Branwyn; you’re my only hope.)
tl;dr: I’ve got a fever, and the only cure is extruded ABS.
yeah makerbot, i want one
Gimme!

I hope my comment is random enough to be chosen!
Likey!
I could sure use one….
This would be awesome… Alas, I’m in the north…
Really? You’re really giving one of these away? I would cut off a finger to win it. Because then I could just print up a new one.
Just what I need! Another hobby. Yay!!!1!
This is the future.
If I were to win this, I’d create a bot to decorate my Christmas tree.
it would definitly be awesome to have one of these things… mounting electronics to my robots using cardboard is getting a little bit annoying…
I would love to have a thing-o-matic. I always have projects or ideas that I would be able to realize if I could print that one part. I would also love to print legos (but without the brand name).
WOOT!
Please. Please. Please.
My printer queue is filled with animations for my 3D zoetrope…but my computer can’t find a 3D printer connected to me computer. Help!
the kids will love it thanks for the offer
Thanks for doing this!
Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple, WE ARE OVERWHELMED BY BUNNIES!!!!!
Oh pleeeaaassseeee!! My wife would thank you for stopping me bugging her for one

I would love a MakerBot.
Too cool, I want!
All I want for Christmas is to win this!
Would love to have another project to make!
Cool!
The ultimate Christmas toy!
Looking forward to a great Maker 2012, tools like the MakerBot Think-O-Matic are reshaping the design process. I look forward to getting more high school student creating physical parts.
Awesome!

Dear MakerSanta, pick me pick me. i’ve been good this year.
Count me in.
A free MakerBot would be awesome
Best thing ever.
I’ve been attempting to design and build my own version for a few months now. I would notbe ashamed if I won this complete version and shelved my own design for a while.
Leaving a comment… :-)
:) sure could put some of these to use! Thanks for the awesome contest!
WANT! MakerBot is so awesome!
Wow that would be so cool. I would love to be able to start 3-d printing
A big kick off to the contest. I’ve been eye-ing 3D printers for a while and prices keep dropping but winning one is still cheaper!
sure, i’ll take a 3d printer.
Oh man, winning one of these would be amazing.
If I win this I will print you SO MANY LIZARDS!
Comment that’s going to win!
Ohhhhh, YES!!
Mmm makerbot? I want it.
Yes. Definitely need this :D
A makerbot would be great. I design things in CAD to be cut on big machines by other people. It would be excellent to design 3D items to print for my own projects of which there are many!
I want one so bad!
Let’s build!
Great idea. I wouldn’t mind a MB
Oooh, I do wantwantwant!
A Thing-o-Matic is on the top of my Christmas list.

Wow, if I win it, I will make it. If I make it, they will come… !
hi, this would be so wonderful! I have never been able to afford any of these great kits. thanks for the chance!
I am new to Maker and would love a MakerBot kit.
commenting for the bot
you betcha!
My Kinect is begging for a friend like this.
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT
I would love one of these. It would be good bye to the silicone molds and mixing solutions.
It’s to bad this is US only. It sounds like a cool give away. Canada–

This would be awesome if I win!
Merry upcoming Christmas everyone, and happy new year.

http://www.instructables.com/id/Hardware-Chess-Set/ !!!
If I win i’m going to print the pieces for a Thing-o-matic and then make a machine that assembles the Thing-o-matic so that I can create a thing-o-matic printing and assembly line!
Now, this would be a nice Christmas present :)
Thing-O-Matic needs a Texas home. Send it on down. Blue rabbit and all.
Free makerbot you say?
What a great giveaway. Thanks, guys.
Posting
Mega-want!
Hmmm… OK.
thingomatics are awesome!
So Cool! I’m already thinking of great ideas I can make come to life!

I’m in! First think I’ll do it ship you a model of my hand to give you guys a high five.
Best giveaway ever, count me in!
Every mad scientists needs this!
What a great holiday giveaway! Making something creative instead of just buying more stuff!
Would be so cool to win this!!!
Excellent!
Oh the things I could do in the classroom with this!!!
whoo! this would be great for the satellite we are building!
A Thing-O-Matic would be awesome!!!
First thing I do if I win this is trying to build another MakerBot using a MakerBot
I would have a lot of fun with a MakerBot.
nice! Want one!
I would so love to win this, it’s the only way I’ll ever get one! I could use it for so many things:)
Excellent way to kick-off!
I soooo want one of these. I would love to introduce my daughters to Geekdom like this…
I would love to dive into the world of 3D printing, especially if a Makerbot were to escort me in!
My son and I would have a bunch of fun with the Thing-O-Matic!
Thinking of all the prototypes I could make!
Our group of university product design students would love to win this – it’d be a great resource for group projects!
This rocks!
I can see so many great options for gifts.
Could print the kids some cool toys! And maybe a few tabletop minis for me…
Makerbot (and other 3d printers) are definitely going to revolutionize the way everything is done. I cant imagine what i would do if i had a 3D printer. Even though the cost is significantly lower on a thing-o-matic over other 3d printing technology, it still is cost prohibitive for me at this point and i have to use shapeways. Suffice it to say it would change everything for me.
a makerbot would be great for my kids classroom
I want another MakerBot!
OMG – Want. No wait, NEED!!!
Oh, this is the coolest idea ever. You all make my day. :)
This would be sweet!
Thanks
What a lovely contest!!
despite the outcome of this give-away the day will come when I will have you, Thing-O-Matic
Wowee!
yes please!
3d printer, wat to go!
Oh, how I want to join the MakerBot Club!
I cannot even BEGIN to describe how awesome this would be!! (The monkeys agree….)
Count me in – I would love to get started in this – but so far, like always, money is always an issue. Winning a Makerbot would be a GIANT leap forward in actually getting into this.
Would love to clear out this laundry list of ideas I have to build with a MakerBot!
Oh, please, please, please!
I want that rabbit!!!
I want this thing* to make things!
Nice!
Makerbot, you continue to amaze. Oh, the things to make…
If I won this, it would totally make a terrible year…pretty friggin’ awesome!
Mmmm, making things is fun. 8^)
Yes please! So want one of these…
I am just getting into the MAKE scene and this would be perfect for all the many projects I have planned!!!
Sign me up!
This would totally amaze the kids… as soon as they pry me away from it!
esto es por #UnMilagroParaFedeGa
Need to make some parts… :)
A Maker Bot would be a dream come true!
I want one!
This would be the greatest birthday/ Christmas present ever for my boyfriend (who was born on Christmas Day)!! :D
Taking over the world will be far easier with such a tool in my possession.
This would make building chassis/bodies for robots so much easier…
#UnMilagroParaFedeGa #No-beer-and-no-robots-make-FedeGa-go-crazy
I would love to have this. I could crank out my own repraps for friends.
Squee!
I will change the world!
I’m in.
I’ve been looking at these, as well as all the other 3D printers for months trying to decide. Would love one!
This would be waaaay too cool to pick up for Christmas. 3D presents for all!
Please pick me.
This would be awesome!
Now this would be a great way to end the year!
six and a half hours later and already 700 comments. Geez!
It is inevitable that I will have a 3d printer soon, so this should definitely be mine.
Kit-A-Day rocks
I want a MakerBot soooo bad! Please choose me :)
Giveaway entry.
Cool!
This would be an awesome Christmas present.
Hello my name is Lochie Ferrier and I make things. I am 15 years old and write a blog at http://lochieferrier.com/ .
I teach robotics at and attend in Year 9 Canberra Grammar School in Australia. I would use a 3D printer to design and manufacture small model planes and rockets as well as electronics enclosures and other small hobbyist parts. And of course the multitude of other everyday items that you can make with one. I could also use it to make PCBs using this method: http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2009/11/30/pcb-making-on-a-makerbot/ . As you know, there is almost an unlimited amount of things that you can make with a 3D printer so to list them here would be a waste of time.I have been following makerbot since day one (back in the days of the cupcake) but have never had enough money to build one. I have watched every episode of Makerbot TV and read every blog post and I am constantly amazed by the work they put in. I am currently designing a small low-cost CNC out of lego as I don’t have enough money. That’s how desperate I am. Attached is a pic of the Lego CNC. It is currently at V1.0 and I am working on the first round of open-source documentation as we speak. It is the first ever open source lego CNC.
I am currently implementing 3D printing at my school (Canberra Grammar in Canberra, ACT, Australia.) Having a 3D printer to show them would help get this off to a great start. Please, please, please give me this opportunity. I will not let you down.2014ferril@cgs.act.edu.aulochieferrier@gmail.com@lochieferrier:twitter on twitterand of course, http://lochieferrier.com/Thanks,Lochie Ferrier

Thanks to Make for the help and motivation to get started with my new hobbies.
Free makerbot?!
I’ll take one.
Yes please
I N-E-E-D one!!
Brilliant give-a-way!!! :) I want a Maker Bot!
have always wanted to get into cnc, just seemed to cost prohibitive as of yet
Great idea, thanks for the giveaway event!
So much better than Santa.
Getting all the pieces in a kit makes the builds process more enjoyable. No more stumbling into obstacles as I did on a regular basis with my Prusa Mandel. I’m a fan of MakerBot!
I would love to have one, please!
As an Interior Design student, I would love to use the MakerBot to make 3D scale models of furniture and room details that I designed. I would also share the technology with my classmate.
A free makerbot, how cool is that? I would love to have one…or any one of other cool things you’ll be giving away, for that matter.
FABulous.
We dreamed of these as kids :) :) Way2cool!!
I would love it!
MakerBot can make rabbits faster than rabbits can make rabbits!
Awesome idea! I love the 3D concept and that it will soon be affordable to everyone. Good luck to everyone on the drawing!
This would be awesome for a fledgling maker! I’ve got three more mini makers that would love it too!
Sorry everyone else. I wish I wasn’t reducing your odds of winning by a tiny percentage. But then increasing MY probability of winning from ZERO is too great a temptation.
Yes, please!
I need one of these. Maybe then I could print my designs as I design them instead of waiting to get to tech to use their machine.
I would love one of these and the wife would never ok the price tag.
This is great. I want to start printing :-)
My idea is to make musical instruments.
This is awesome!
I think I may need one of these machines. . . .AND a blue rabbit.
Our sons would love one (or 2, lol)
Wow a makerbot??? That is awesome.
Super nice!!
My son would love to have this for Christmas.
yes pleeeeeeeease! What a Christmas present!
Great idea
If I win…it would be awesome for me.
I would love to win the MakerBot so I can print where I teach.
me, me, me, me
I’m sure I could get in trouble with this. Which is precisely why I want one.
Would love one!!!!
Holy Cow! I’m shivering with excitement over 3D printing and now this!? I shall await with baited breath for the winner :D You guys rock!
Viva la JaxHax.org!!
As a 3d digital modeler and sculptor and general tinkerer, it’s been my dream to get my hands on one of these which is why with this and the details on the makerbot mailing list I’m so happy I found this opportunity. From what I’ve researched this is the most reliable 3d printer with a great potential for expanding its capabilities, and for someone like me could be a big help in producing gifts or showcasing ideas to clients or just anyone.
Me too!
Me likey free stuff!
Seet!! Hope I win this.
This is a post for Joey (I’m Joey’s mom) – my fingers are crossed for him! :)

interesting idea. thank you for the chance.
Yes please, the brownish one that makes things
What a great way to start off the Season!
I have never won an online contest, but I love Make magazine. It inspired me to start a maker club at my school. The things that we could do with this would be amazing. We are building rockets in January and then we will have a How-To Solder workshop.
I’d have the happiest boyfriend alive…and would also be a MakerBot widow! :)
You guys rock. Our hackerspace is building a RepRap and a Makerbot would be a great addition! 10 Bit Works; http://www.10bitworks.com
I’ll take 1. Or 2. Nah, 1 is OK. I’m not greedy.

Here! just throw somersetting this way!
Thanks!
Make my day!
A Designer’s wet dream, as a student, you would have to wait for days in a row behind a CNC machine, trying to find an empty slot to build your Prototype in, as an employee, you would have to convince your boss to buy a pretty expensive machine, or outsource for double that, and as a house-father, well, you would just have to buy new toys everytime they break… NO MORE of all that (even though I am not a father… yet) Take my humble comment into consideration (sounds like begging right?), it will be worth a very detailed and uberly funny Promo Video wouldn’t it? (manipulation / positive blackmailing) all that for a few 3d-printed chessboard pieces :-)
I would love a MakerBot TOM they rock!!!!
i can haz makerbot?
Awesome! A makerbot would change my life!
Yey! I want to have it!
Awesome! A Makerbot would change my life! (for the better I hope)

A MakerBot would really make my prop replica weapons so much easier to build. Its always the little bit that are hard and being about to just print them would make it so much nicer.

I sure would like to win one of these. thanks for doing this.

Awesome!
Wow, over 1100 comments already. None of those people want a Makerbot as much as I do!
What a good idea.
I was seriously drooling over these at Maker Faire NY, it would be awesome to have one of my own.
Thing-o-matic looks so cool! I would love to win!

Excellent. I am drooling more than I was yesterday!
This thrills me, looking forward to hearing the results.
here’s my comment hoping to get firsthand chance to 3d printing
Great Idea!
Looking forward to checking email every day!!
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have one of these. There are so many little parts we have to pay to get prototyped, this would speed up the process and be much cheaper! I wish Las Vegas would have a Maker Faire. The folks at Make: have really done a great service for all the thinkers and tinkers out there, keep up the good work!
Very cool!
I would *love* to own a MakerBot — they’re changing the world as we know it.
Just imagine all the gears you could make…. :-)
tossing my hat into the ring
A great idea. Appreciate the opportunity.
As a college kid, this would be a great addition to an abnormally small collection of tools!

I’ve been working as a mentor to a team of kids doing the First Lego League competition this year and last. I bet this would be a great way to show them a next step to take with some of their skills, and motivate them to learn and do even more than they already have this year.

I’ve been wanting to get involved in the “printer in every home” movement for some time now, but it is still slightly outside my price point. This is the opportunity to teach my kids something amazing!
I would use this kit in my classroom where I teach gifted students. I would get parent volunteers to build it and we could use it to create things that we could sell for charity fundraising.
Whoooa!!!
Hooray for free 3D!
Sure. I’ll throw my hat in the ring.
ooo…makerbot!
OH Thing-O-Matic how I would love thee

Working to grow a makerspace from the ground up in Olympia, WA (http://olymega.org). A 3D printer would be a great thing to rally the group around :)
Here’s my entry. :)
This is me on Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/cymon/things
Without access to a 3D printer I have designed a bunch of stuff. I can’t help it, I need to make. Sometimes folks have printed my stuff and I’ve managed to make them better through the feedback.
Imagine what I could do if I had one. Come on random number generator!
makerbots are very cool with out a doubt
I’d like one please!
Ooooh. A Thingbot would truly make this a happy Christmas.

Holy Thing-o-Matic, Batman!
This would solve my problem of needing a Thing-O-Matic, but having a wife that will be quite vexed if I buy one! Vex-free 3D printing, yay!
This is my entry. Thank you.
give me your melt
Christmas comes early this year for some lucky person. I hope it’s me!
Don’t Get Eliminated!!
Does it come with the bunny? If not, that’s a possible dealbreaker.
so please, please, please let me get what i want. Lord knows it would be the first time.
Awesome.
The MakerBot Thing-o-Matic is about as limitless as one’s imagination. We just bought a house and I can’t count how many times I thought to myself, “I could soooo use a MakerBot right now.” There are just so many little things that a home needs. I envision that at some point in the future, homes will be built with a decendent of the MakerBot built into it… kind of like some homes are built with networking and appliance systems already built in.
Pick me!
This would be really nice to have!
How exciting!
Oh man, free Makerbot? Sign me up!
Love the new kit special issue.
I really, really want one of these! so so cool & useful for making!
Amazing, I’d love the chance to own this.
Sign me up!
Oh! I would make prototypes galore!!
I promise if you give me this MakerBot to use it only for doing evil. Perhaps I’ll print a DestroyerBot.
Thanks for the chance.
Thanks for doing this!
Makers Rock – Keep it Real
It would be nice to find one of these under. the christmas tree.

Throwing my entry into the grand prize game bucket.
I would love to win this for my son!!!
does this come with plastic
gimme that thing
This will be lovely for my robotics projects <3.
looks very cool :)
Needless to say I’d love to have a Thing-o-matic. It seems like the perfect “gateway” tool to future making!
Woot!!! Just think how much prototyping could be accomplished with this awesome piece of machinery.
All good things come in a box. Some of the best things are made inside a box.
wait-what day is it???? I am in the middle east and am so freaking lost day/time since I got here a week ago. I so need a thing-o-matic to keep my life more confused than it is!
Looks like you missid it by a day- but dont worry- they are giving away another makerbot at the end I think
The possibilities of owning a thing-o-matic are endless!
Ooooh this is cool, love contests like these
Please let me win something.
Winning this would be cooler than winning a laser cutter! :)
What a deal. I already destroy clay and wood in my pottery and woodworking endeavors. With a Makebot I could destroy plastic.
Check out my big damn comment!
Drool
I can’t wait to tryout one of these.
I have 4 and 6 year old girls and want to build some geeky toys for them using the Arduino and parts built using a MakerBot. Unfortunately the MakerBot is out of my budget.
I’d like my girls to get into geek stuff so they can be less dependent on others in life. They are both already fanatic Linux users so they are on the right track I think.
Entry! This is awesome.
What good is an engineering degree, when they only facilitate what is known and what you can see? I propose that we yearn to learn more. See the unseen – build the machine – delivers the future to your front door.
Great giveaway! Thanks MAKE!
Oooh!
Pick me!
Although, with my luck you won’t…
I can’t wait to print more printers! This would make a great companion to my Prusa that is having such a hard time getting its Z-axis working. I could print new guides, a couple better stepper shaft mounts and of course thousands of other things.
I would also like to make one for my childs school math and sciences program.
cool
Todays installment of Reasons to give me a 3D printer”: The Hex-struder…
Now you too can make blue rabbits!
Sure, I want it too!
I’m gonna need a bigger stocking for the Thing-O-Matic
Oh I want one!
It’s made of 100% pure awesome.
MAKE Rocks!
Love your site.
Electronics kits, just like when I was a kid! I love it!
So, who won?
And thus, my entry!
For the past 3 years, I have wanted my young-maker’s workshop adorned with a makerbot.
This could be my opportunity!
http://msedesign.net/about
Woot!
Woot!
I want to get one of these for our STEMulate Learning project, but the local schools have zero budget for “speculative science” as it was put. Ah well, maybe in a few more years.
This would be a dream come true!
Keep up all your fantastic work at the MakerShop – your efforts are encouraging legions of young innovators to remain focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Enginnering and Math) by inspiring DIY interest in technologies!
me me pick me…
I’d make really nifty stuff and share with my friends..
Uh Oh! pick me..
This is a more than kind of amazing giveaway.
Please
The thinb-o-matic is a fantastic learning tool, as it allows creativity to be converted directly into a physical representation. There is no better way to inspire young minds than to give them access to tools such as these, which turn innovation into products they can show their parents, teachers, and others to gain suppport in furtuher learning!
A 3D Printer would come into great use,
to bring ideas that are just sitting loose,
into reality and into this world
as we improve humanity one step at a time.
[Yes, it didn’t rhyme – but the idea is more important than sticking to the rules of rhyme;)]
I lust after the Thing-O-Matic, and not just because of the blue rabbit pictured.
Mine! Mine!
please and thank you
Come to Papa !
3D Printers for all !
i want duh makerbot!
A makerbot would be cool!!!
This is a comment. One that I hope will win.
Todays entry for me. Makerbot will end up shared at 757Labs hackerspace if won.
