First-Person Makerbot CNC Unboxing Video

Got my Makerbot a week ago and filmed the whole unboxing thing using my ContourHD Helmetcam. It’s featured on Makerbot.com’s Blog.

I recorded this in the middle  of the night so apologies for the volume, I had to speak softly so I don’t wake my kids.

Hey Loke Uei Tan!

Already building the CNC Makerbot?

I hope you post a nother video... "The making of" I am wondering of the Makerbot comes with the printingsoftware? So you can export any cad/solidworks file to it.

Good luck with building the machine!

Hey Robert

the Makerbot is done! :) works pretty well too. Makerbot uses a variety of software that you can download, namely:

- Blender for 3D authoring / conversion

- Skeinforge for creating layers and gcode

- Arduino for updating makerbot firmware

- ReplicatorG for sending gcode instructions to makerbot to print.

you can get them here : http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print
