Why print files don’t appear in USB storage or internal storage of MakerBot Replicator?
If your print files don’t appear in USB or internal storage, ensure they are in the correct format. Print files for the MakerBot Replicator must have a .makerbot file extension.
What to do if printed object is stuck to the build plate of MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers?
If your printed object is stuck to the build plate of your MakerBot 3D Printer, remove the build plate and allow the object to cool down. Objects usually detach more easily after cooling. If it remains stuck, carefully use a thin metal craft spatula under the edge of the object, and gently twist the handle once the blade is mostly underneath to free the object.
What to do if filament won’t extrude from the Smart Extruder of MakerBot Replicator?
If the filament won’t extrude from the Smart Extruder of your MakerBot 3D Printer, try unloading and reloading the filament. Press and hold the Action Button to start a filament change. Once the filament is free, the motor will reverse, allowing you to reload. To prevent future jams, let the Smart Extruder cool before turning off your MakerBot Replicator Mini.
Why does object peel off the build plate during printing with MakerBot Replicator?
To resolve peeling, ensure the build plate of your MakerBot 3D Printer is clean. Dust, oil from your hands, or imperfections in any tape can prevent objects from sticking. Wipe the build plate with a clean, lint-free cloth.
What to do if my front door popped off MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers?
If your front door popped off your MakerBot 3D Printer, simply snap it back onto its hinges. The front door is designed to pop off without being damaged.
What to do if plate leveling routine does not result in a level build plate for MakerBot 3D Printers?
If the plate leveling routine doesn't result in a level build plate, it may be due to a dirty or uneven plate, or a dirty extruder nozzle. Wrinkles in your blue tape or plastic debris on the build plate or nozzle can interfere with the extruder sensor.
Why filament breaks between the spool and the MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder?
If the filament breaks between the spool and the MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder, check the following: * Ensure the filament unwinds counterclockwise from the spool. * Verify the filament guide tube is not twisted or bent. * Unload any remaining filament from the Smart Extruder before reloading.
What to do if MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder is not recognized?
If the MakerBot Replicator does not recognize the installed Smart Extruder, remove the extruder and run the extruder attachment script. This can be found under Utilities > System Tools > Change Smart Extruder.
Why the plate leveling routine does not result in a level build plate for MakerBot Replicator?
If the plate leveling routine does not result in a level build plate for your MakerBot 3D Printer, it may be due to wrinkles in your blue tape or plastic debris on the build plate or nozzle. The assisted leveling routine depends on a clean, flat plate and a clean extruder nozzle.
Why does filament break between the spool and the MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder?
If the filament breaks between the spool and the MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder, open the filament drawer and ensure the filament unwinds counterclockwise. Also, check that the filament guide tube is not twisted or bent, and make sure to unload any filament left in the Smart Extruder before reloading.
