MakerBot Industries

Last year we made history by being the first 3D printer at the Consumer Electronics Show.

We’ve been packing boxes with Thing-O-Matics in them! This year, MakerBot will be at CES with 12 MakerBots making things to give away to visitors who ask good questions. We’ll have one cupcake there with a Unicorn Pen Plotter toolhead to draw robots for fans of robots.

Follow this map to find us on the day! We’re going to be in booth 30766 in the South Hall Upper Level!

3color LED stick light by rerofumi

And, the mad bragging rights go to rerofumi for his 3 color LED stick light!  Rerofumi’s stick light has got to be one of the coolest and all around most complete projects uploaded to Thingiverse.  He designed, milled, cut, and soldered his own PCB¹ then designed, 3D printed, and assembled his own plastic casing.  Congratulations!

To see the other entries with this “sci fi” theme, be sure and check out the “boxingday” tag on Thingiverse.

Lastly, thank you to all of the participants – rerofumi, hobinjk, InnovationByLayers, bre, and MagicDan!
