On March 28, when Mattel replied on Twitter that they discontinued the ThingMaker 3D printer project, many who were expecting the launch were then disappointed. I mean, it was first announced in 2016, and had an accompanying app for iOS and Android devices, and was first expected to launch in the Holiday Season for that year, but the app was pulled and the printer release was then pushed to Fall 2017. However, at that latter time, it failed to be announced again, and a firm release date has not yet been set, and Mattel was working hard to deliver a product that families will love, and once they have more information, they'd report it at the ThingMaker website, which since went offline. Eventually, it led to the project's cancellation, just like Apple would announce the cancellation of the AirPower wireless charging pad a day later.

Are we going to allow the ThingMaker 3D printer not to be released? No, we aren't. That's why I have started this petition for Mattel and Autodesk to revive the project and finally release the ThingMaker 3D printer.
