MakerBot Industries

Update: Just a reminder that this meetup is tonight!

Hey MakerBot Operators in NYC!

We’re thinking about the future of MakerBot and the kind of machines that we’ll be producing in the future and we’re inviting some folks to swing by tomorrow night and hang out at the Botcave and let us know what you think.

So we’re going to have an open office tomorrow, Wednesday September 8th from 7:30-9PM. We’d really like it if you can swing by and give us some feedback about what you’d like to see in the future of 3D printers from MakerBot.

If that sounds like fun, RSVP on eventbrite for this free event and swing by the Botcave at 87 3rd Ave Brooklyn NY 11217 and let us know!

Can’t make it? Let us know what you think here in the comments or drop us a note at contact@makerbot.com with your vision of what the MakerBot of the future will be like!

Housing derivatives - the nifty plastic kind

Uploading a derivative to Thingiverse is easy – once you know how to do it.¹

• Click “I made one!“
• Scroll down until you see “Did you change the design?“
• Upload your modified source file.
• Click “Upload File“

Now you’ll see the regular Thing editing page you’re used to – except that it will be linked as a derivative of the original Thing.

Go forth and derive!²
