Use MakerWare with Thing-o-Matic

thingiverse

In the given video link, MakerWare by Makerbot is discussed; however, it does not support older Makerbots such as Thing-o-Matic and Cupcake despite having ready software. Adding support for these models would only take seconds but the software remains closed source due to Qt license fees paid by Makerbot. Despite this limitation, users can still bluff their way into using it with older machines. Makerbot has stated that official support for these models is coming soon, and you can find more updates on http://josefprusa.cz/open-hardware-meaning/#update. For further information, check out the chronology in this post: http://marcuswolschon.blogspot.cz/2012/09/occupy-thingiverse.html and support open hardware here: http://news.ycombinator.com/news.
