Makerbot Download BEST Files

Since it looks like JP will not be making a dual extruder printer anytime soon, I'm having to fall back on my my ancient Makerbot Replicator2 for some prints where this capability is needed. I want to use the Prusa Slicer which, in theory has Makerbot in the drop-down menu for making a printer configuration. But after I get my files loaded and configure all the options, it will not save/has no option for saving in .X3g file format, which is what the Makerbot requires. Simply changing (by renameing) any slicer generated file to the .X3g format doesn't work. How do I make this work?

I have a some old Makerbot Replicator 2 printers that despite being 10 years old and heavily modded are still very dependable and accurate - but they require gpx to post process gcode into x3g binary files. This worked on previous versions of PrusaSlicer by simply calling the GPX program in post processing -- in fact I originally wrote GPX with Slic3r post processing support in mind. This has changed since version 2.4 of PrusaSlicer. Its a pain, but I kind of understand the reasoning. Anyway I finally got around to figuring out how to fix this with a simple shell script and though it might be helpful to post here so like minded users can find it.

This tutorial will show you how to create a .makerbot file using the new MakerBot Print software. The new MakerBot Print software is available on all iMacs at your local Media Commons location. It has a new interface and completely re-written slicing engine for improved results. You can also download and install it on your own computer for free by visiting MakerBot Print. Once the software is installed, proceed with this tutorial.

In order to use MakerBot Print, you need to be signed in to a MakerBot account. Log in or Sign up for an account. (Note: This is a different account from the one you signed up for submitting files to the Penn State MakerBot Innovation Center)

Now you are ready to export the .makerbot file. Click Export in the bottom right. Uncheck Hide extension so you can see the filetype. Name your file taking care to not delete the .makerbot file suffix. Save the file to your Desktop.

There is a plug-in available for SketchUp so that it can export STL files. But, the security on the library computers will not allow me to put a file into the SketchUp plug-ins folder. And, the tech guy at the library doesn't think that the IT guys at the library will update all the copies of SketchUp at all the branches just so someone could do 3D printing.

Here is what I suggest you try. If you have a file that you can view/edit in blender I would export it as both STL and OBJ formats. Then take those files and upload them to Netfabb ( ) and get a "repaired" file. Have the library try again with the repaired STL and OBJ files. If this doesn't work try to get the exact error message/dialog that the makerbot software is giving them as well as the version of the software that they are using.

If you want a better modeling software, I suggest you to check out OnShape. Its a cloud based cad software. Its free as well. (10 private files, beyond that everything is public. 100$ per month i think)www.onshape.com

For the lost souls on google: 5th generation and newer makerbot printers ( _Generation_Replicator_Desktop_3D_Printer) now use .makerbot files for printing. This is essentially a proprietary file type so you wont find free converters from .gcode to .makerbot.

Following are the majority of the designs I printed (or tried to print) during the course of reviewing the MakerBot Replicator. Most I obtained through Thingiverse, MakerBot's community-driven repository of 3D object design files, all of which are available to download for free. With 15,000-plus design available on Thingiverse, I barely scratched the surface of its content.

Of the files I pulled from Thingiverse, this is the most impressive item I printed successfully. The cube-shape and the ball come out in a single print thanks to the Replicator's dual-extruder printer head (or "dualstrustion," as MakerBot likes to call it). Design by etrohn at Thingiverse.com. This would make a great cat toy.

The free iPad app MakerBot PrintShop version 1.5 is now available in the iTunes App Store. Version 1.5 offers a new feature called Shape Maker that turns 2D images into 3D-printable files. Designed for beginners who want to get started quickly with 3D printing, Shape Maker allows users to transform sketches, photos and screen captures into files that can then be sent to a variety of MakerBot printers.

Saved files are stored in the MakerBot Cloud Library and can be accessed through personal accounts on Thingiverse, the design site for viewing, sharing and 3D printing digital designs. Files can be sent via WiFi directly to a MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer, MakerBot Replicator Mini Compact 3D Printer or a MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer.

I never liked makerbot from day 1, first time I saw them was at a security conf in 2010, They were showing off an early cupcake prototype as if they had single handedly invented 3D printing. I asked about the reprap open source 3D printer and the guy went red and excused himself. Every time I saw them since they were always talking smack about other 3D printers to people new to were new to the concept.

Because there are guys in black rooms that reach into your computer and delete files or comments if they can claim you are infringing on a patent, (without due process or actions by courts) also often used to try to determine who can produce something and to try to maintain monopolies. Also used to burn books, and to disrupt use of printers and scanners, and not for copywrite claim, but to keep everyone in an area where they can be monitored and censored. They also change the content of various media distributed to some people, also illegal and a justification to remove them.

Also word has it they are about to stop the open source stuff and make their software available only to makerbot owners. The software will look for a unique id number embedded in the motherboard. That is registered with makerbot at the time of sale.

I reread all your post in that previous thread and not once did you tell me what profile you used. You said you changed all 5 but noticed no change in bed dimensions. That plainly points to a bad copy of software. Are you getting it straight from makerbot and is it Makerbot Desktop? The version I have from makerbot will show the bed grow and shrink when I select different profiles in the main window.

I'm starting to think there are Not any !

If not, I need different software ?

I'm wondering if there's other version of Slic3r that I could try ?

( files created by version of Slic3r that I have, will not run properly in Rep-G)

I think now you might be seeing my desire to get rid of the mightyboard and it's rather messed up files system and types. I plane to go to a Rumba or PiBot setup. Then I can use regular STL files and gcode and the slicer and host of my choice.

That's why I've been trying to find a way to Edit Infill properly with Rep-G.

Rep-G has No problems printing first layers of those Same .stl files, of large objects,

but it has Other problems.

Just click on the menu bar where it says gcode, then click edit profiles, then select replicator. When the Skeinforge window opens select Craft, then fill, and infill solidity is your infill percentage.

Thingiverse Mobile lets you browse Thingiverse for millions of free 3D printable files from your mobile device. Check out the latest and greatest 3D printing designs or scroll through trending product categories to see what other people are 3D printing.

You should first try slicing your file in Makerbot Desktop (this is a free download from makerbot.com). Print preview will give you an estimate of the amount of filament that will be used.

The news comes two months after after mobile phone maker Nokia became the first major manufacturer to release 3D print files for its products, allowing consumers to print their own customised phone cases.

In the wake of one of worst shooting incidents in American history, the 3D-printing firm Makerbot has deleted a collection of blueprints for gun components from Thingiverse, its popular user-generated content website that hosts 3D-printable files. Though Thingiverse has long banned designs for weapons and their components in its terms of service, it rarely enforced the rule until the last few days, when the company's lawyer sent notices to users that their software models for gun parts were being purged from the site. ff782bc1db
