Makerbot Thing-O-Matic Quick Start Guide
IMPORTANT:
Depending on where you are located in the world, you may need to switch the voltage
setting on you power supply. You should make sure it is in the correct position before turning your machine
on. It will most likely arrive in the 110V position. Change it accordingly.
Look over your Thing-O-Matic for any damage from shipment. If you’re checking this page out after
assembling a Thing-O-Matic from a kit, just skip down to the section labeled “Install Software.”
Open your boxes and take a look at what is inside.
There are a lot of extra nuts and bolts. You may never have to use them, but it doesn’t hurt to have
them around.
120mm Wide Kapton Tape for your Heated Build Platform. The tape applied to the build platform will
eventually get scratched or torn. You can use this big roll to replace it.
Gen4 Interface Controller, which you can use to print without being connected to your computer.
USB A to B cable and Power Cord.
Tools: hex keys and wrenches for upkeep and maintenance.
