EEVblog #237 - Makerbot Thing-O-Matic Unboxing

Dave got a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic 3D printer. A look at what's inside the box, plus some bonus rants.
if it takes this long to un-box, how long will it take to build?

boy you gotta love black solder mask... it takes me to a fun place in my mind for some reason.

@gabrielfinol After working at Altium for years, I've had a gut full of black solder mask! And it had to be the right shade of black! :-/

Dave, makerbot sucks, man such as your skill should get a prusa mendel. there is great guy called gregfrost in aus who can sell you kit cheaper then makerbot and certainly better

[EEVblog]

@karandex I got this for free, I wasn't going to turn it down.

"don't turn it on, take it... ermmm"

Hey Dave, awesome that you got yourself a makerbot now! Recently I've been trying to figure out how to program generic devices such as the MC9S08QD4 from freescale. I know your using a micro from freescale in your lab power supply and was wondering if maybe in the next video show us how to program such a device. Or maybe you could post some links to tutorials? That would be awesome. Thanks!

That is a GIANT roll of kapton tape!

its funny how people start getting things for free when they become famous.

good show anyhow :)

I got one of these some months back. I didn't get even CLOSE to as much print cord. I got 1 of those smaller bags. And I still haven't had time to put it together.

[ChrisD4335]

I would have liked to see a video of you puttin the dammed thing together

LOL, digital objects?

[Techonutube]

Love your energy dave keep up the good work!

[Riskteven]

Whe have had the PC for ages now... When will we get the "PR"?

[iToasterman]

@EEVblog make it interchangeable

[RetroPCDOS]

$1100 dollars plus cost of plastic, equal portable custom n64 case, been thinking about builting, or use works CNC Machine?

It actually a pretty interesting idea, been thinking about buying one of these as a kit just to try it out, looks interesting.
