PRINTING WITH YOUR MAKERBOT REPLICATOR 2X

PREPARING A MODEL

Use the Move, Turn, and Scale buttons in the Prepare tab to position and scale your

model on the virtual build plate.

BASIC SETTINGS

If you want to change any settings before printing, click Settings. This is where you can

specify options that will aect the quality of your printed object, like print resolution and

object strength. To print with standard or previously speciﬁed settings, skip this step and go

straight to printing.

1. Filament Type

Set each extruder to the type of ﬁlament you plan to print with. If you are not printing with

dual extrusion, MakerBot Desktop will ignore the ﬁlament type set for the unused extruder.

2. Resolution

Choose Low, Standard, or High resolution to specify the surface quality of your 3D print.

• Objects sliced with the Standard resolution prole will be printed using the default

settings. Standard resolution prints will print quickly and have good surface quality.

• Objects sliced using the Low resolution prole will be printed with thicker layers and

will print faster.

• Objects sliced with the High resolution prole will have ner layers and will print

more slowly.

3. Ra

Choose if you want your object to print with a ra. The ra acts as a base for your object

and any support structures, and ensures that everything adheres well to the build plate.

The ra will be easily removable once you remove your ﬁnished object from the build plate.
