INSTRUCTIONS
1.) Creating your object. You can create a 3D object in any CAD software, or download an
object from various websites. For these instructions, we will be downloading an object
from Makerbot Thingiverse.
2.) Downloading your object. Go to www.thingiverse.com. Use the search field at the
upper right to search for what you want to print. We will search for lego and select
the Giant Lego Darth Vader.
3.) Open Makerbot Makerware. Makerware is Makerbots software that creates the X3G
file required for printing.
a. Click the Add Button. The Add button will open the file explorer, navigate to the
file to be printed, in our example the body_darth_vader_rebuilt.stl. The file
will open at the center of the build plate.
b. Move. Select the Move button and click and drag the body to the left.
c. Click the Add Button again. There is room for more than one part on the build
plate. Lets add the hands.stl file. Now both files are located on the build plate.
d. Manipulate. Now you can manipulate each part separately or together. Move
the parts so they are not touching, but not too far apart.
5.) Printing. Insert the SD card port behind the Makerbot Replicator 2s LCD interface.
a. Build from SD. Using the arrow keys, navigate to Build from SD and press the
M button to view the files available.
b. Select file. Select the file name you created to begin printing. The Makerbot
Replicator 2 will begin heating and print your file.
