MakerBot PrintShop is a free app that allows you to design and customize prints, explore
and print from Thingiverse, and monitor and control your MakerBot Replicator Mini, all from
your tablet.
MakerBot Printshop has three features: Makers, Explore, and My Stu.
With the Maker tools, you can customize designs such as signs and bracelets using base
models provided by the app.
In Explore, you can browse a selection of ready-to-print items from Thingiverse.
In My Stu, you can access all recent prints initiated from MakerBot Printshop, as well as
your saved customized designs.
Once you initiate a print with MakerBot PrintShop, you can monitor that print as it’s
happening. The onboard camera on your MakerBot Replicator Mini will periodically take
photos of the build area, viewable right on your tablet. You can also pause and cancel prints
directly from MakerBot PrintShop.
