Thing 14222 -- thanks jimcook for the photo!

We are getting right down to it here, people.  This is do or die time — when the men are separated from the boys.  This is where we winnow the wheat from the chaff, gift-giving-wise anyway.  It’s where the going gets tough, and the…yeah, well, anyway the point is there’s not much time left to order gifts.

If you want any amazing items from the MakerBot store to arrive by December 24th (or as I like to think of it, day 5 of Hanukkah) then the shipping schedule will be as seen below.

There are some great things in the store right now for your favorite makers, including MakerBot Projects like the Windup Walkers and Dynamo, as well as amazing prices on kits like the evergreen MintyBoost and LOLshield, and the epic Ostrich Egg Bot kit!

Final pre-Christmas ship dates:

Ground Shipping: Too Late!

3-day service: Too Late!

2-day service: GLORZOMG!  TODAY!!!!

Next Day Air: order by December 20th

FrostByte the snowman, was a jolly, printed soul

with a cron job | and a filament nose…

Isn’t that how the old song goes?  Not quite?  Well, it is appropriate for this printable snowman by trihedral.  ‘Tis the season for MakerBotting gifts for friends and family, so for the rest of the month, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite giftable Thingiverse items.

Next week, we’ll be sending out a special holiday Thingiverse round-up for newsletter subscribers!  Sign up here (or using the widget in the upper right-hand corner of this page.)  If you received last week’s newsletter, make sure to check your subscription preferences.

Welcome to December, MakerPeople!  Let’s make it a good one.

FrostByte by trihedral

Yeah, I've been calling him FrostByte... too much? I think it's too much. Oh well. A little light-up snow man for the holidays! I carved a piece of filament into an orange nose; the jaggedness makes it look like a carrot. I may add some copper wire arms (to look like sticks) but they might not be very pleasing to the eye in contrast to his roundness.
