In this episode of Pen to Plastic:
Back in 2012 I designed and printed a working 3D printer that resembled the MakerBot mascot I designed a year prior. It used the parts from a stock Thing-O-Matic and was printed on a first-generation Replicator.
This is the story and a breakdown of the design.
Also I am finally uploading all of the parts to the Thingiverse so you can print your own copy of this printer and retro-fit your Thing-O-Matic into the R. Maker ToM Special Edition!
