Your First Three Prints
So you got your MakerBot together and are ready for your first prints… With the wealth of digital designs out on Thingiverse these days it might be hard to choose which one is going to be your first ever print and forever mark this historic occasion. Having just recently experienced my first 100% successful print I’m hoping I can offer some guidance.
Bre’s MakerBot Coin is definitely my pick for first print. It’s easy, fast, and perfect to show off to your friends.
Zach’s 608 idler pulleys are again a quick build and will definitely help you prove to the skeptics out there that the MakerBot can and does print useful parts.
For your third print you should definitely test the limits of your machine. It took a lot of tuning and fiddling before my MakerBot could print Wizard23’s Screwable Jewellery Boxes but once they came out flawlessly I knew my MakerBot was ready to take on any challenge. Now go out there and start printing and be sure to upload your pictures to the MakerBot Flikr pool!
