I have some good news and some bad news…

The bad news is that Episode 12 marks the end of Season 1 for MakerBot TV. The good news is that Season 2 will be back (and better than ever!) sometime in early January. In the meantime, don’t miss this epic season finale in which R.Maker hosts the Thingy Awards and we get a sneak peek into the MakerBotted window display of the New Museum!
