POST PRINT STEPS

Remove Raft and/or Supports

extruders to cool. Remove the print from

the build plate, and peel off the raft from

the bottom of the print. Remove any

support material either with your fingers

or with a tool like pliers.

Share on Thingiverse

If you printed a file from Thingiverse, it’s

nice to let the model’s designer know.

Return to the model’s thing page in the

Explore tab of MakerBot Desktop, and

click on View in Browser, which will

open up your default web browser to

the model’s thing page. Then click

I Made One. You’ll have the opportunity

to upload a photo of your print and add

a description. When you’re ready, click

Create to link your photo to the original

design’s thing page.
