The MakerBot 3D printer is the first 3D printer of its size that will allow you to create anything that you can think of!

The MakerBot 3D printer is an open source 3D printer that is affordable compared to others on the market at $1,200 and can print almost anything up to 100x100x100mm. Theoretically the size of a cupcake.

The maker bot prints with ABS, HDPE or PLA plastic. You can share you print ideas or get new printer ideas from thingiverse.com and the MakerBot can be purchased directly from MakerBot.com.

You'll get:
* Makerbot Plastruder MK5
* MakerBot Automated Build Platform v.2.0
* The lasercut parts to assemble a Thing-O-Matic CNC machine.
* 3 x NEMA 17 motors
* The hardware to assemble it.
* Belts and pulleys
* Smooth Rods and Drive system components
* Pre-assembled 4th Generation Electronics
* a USB cable to talk to it
* cat5e and rainbow cables to wire things up
* a standard ATX power supply
* a tools kit with all the hex keys, wrenches, and other bits you need to construct it.
* SD card to buffer your prints
* 1lb of MakerBot ABS Plastic to print with
Full instructions and documentation will be released on the day we start shipping this kit in mid-November.

I would buy a Makerbot, then print many Makerbots, then sell them all. I would be RICH :D

yes finally i can have my own jessica alba :)

They have another product called the Makerbot Replicator, it uses 2 kinds of plastic, so you can have 2 color objects, it also prints much larger pieces than this unit. See their webpage...

Wow inb4 dildo making

[valken666]

@TheDreamCacher you wouldn't print the motors, or the electronics... you could still make a buck or two, though.

Pretty awesome video! I uploaded a few videos about 3d printing as well. Feel free to check out my channel! Thanks!

[OdysseyCheerBadass]

id use it to make a ps vita... screw you launch dates!

[odlogo]

Is the plastic you use recycled? Can it be recycled once you have made something?

[PROJ3KTJ30]

do i have to use ABS plastic to print?

[xyng]

substitute the ink with chocolate, adjust the temperature, hence, we can have personally crafted chocolate!

HAN SOLO ALL THE WAY
