You can print directly from the MakerBot Thingiverse App** by finding a Thing and clicking the Print Now button. It will send that Thing to MakerBot Mobile and you'll be able to print right away.

Use MakerBot® Mobile to connect your printer to Wi-Fi and perform out-of-box calibrations. It’s the fastest way to get you set up and printing!

To take full advantage of what the Mobile app has to offer, make sure you're running the latest firmware on your MakerBot 3D Printer.
