Preface

Welcome to Getting Started with MakerBot . If you picked up this book, youre either thinking of getting your hands on a MakerBot, or you just got one. Either way, this book is here to get you up and running as quickly as possible. In this book, youll learn how to prepare for your MakerBots arrival, what to do when it arrives, and how to find, design, and make amazing things on it.

What Is a MakerBot?

A MakerBot is a robot that makes things. Right now, MakerBot Industries is making desktop 3D printers that you can use to make anything. As it turns out, this can be pretty handy since most people need something pretty regularlya replacement something thats no longer made, something fun to play with, or something you could buy at the store but which youd rather make yourself.

A MakerBot Operator is at the cutting edge of personal fabrication technology. Having a MakerBot gives anyone a superpower to replicate anything in the world right in front of them.

Your MakerBot is a present-making machineyoull never have to worry about buying gifts for anyone again because with your MakerBot you can just make them. Its also a fixing machine, which comes in handy when something that youve bought gets broken. If the knob on your dishwasher, stove, or radio breaks, its not a big deal anymore, now its just another opportunity to show off your mastery of the MakerBot. Amaze your friends when you replicate a replacement in less time than it would take you to go buy it at the store! With a MakerBot, you can be a hero to your family by using your MakerBot to solve household challenges that range from building new coat hooks to making a bathtub stopper.

Like a kitten watching a goldfish bowl, youll stare for hours at your MakerBot as it obeys your every command and makes you objects of your dreams and the practical things you need. Bring it out into public and folks will gather round to stare at it hypnotically like a campfire.

Youll be able to replicate any of the thousands of objects on Thingiverse.com that have been created and shared by designers all over the world. Before long, you will even get the bug to design your own things and share them for others to use, too. Your brainchild may have children of its own - through the philosophy of sharing, open licenses, and derivative works. Someone might like your idea, think of an improvement and make it and take a picture to show you how your thing has a new life of its own!
