Это пошаговая инструкция, на днях сделаю перевод.

This document will give you simple, step-by-step instructions on how to print an.stl file on an assembled, pre-calibrated MakerBot.

You need:

• Computer
• MakerBot and plastic
• USB cable
• Bot power cord
• SD card
• Tweezers
• 

• 1. Turn your computer on. Copy your.stl file to the Desktop or to a folder of your choice.

  2. Double-click on the.stl file to open it. It will automatically open in ReplicatorG.

• 

• 3. Position your model in ReplicatorG:

• Click the MoveButton
• Click Center Button
• Click Put on Platform Button
• 
• The model should now lie flat and centered on the blue rectangle.

  The blue rectangle represents the build platform inside the MakerBot.

• 
• 4. Use these settings:
• 
• 5. Click Generate Gcode.
• 
• 6. Click Generate GCode again.

  Wait 2–3 minutes while the code is generated.

•  
• 
  
• 7. Put the SD card in the SD card slot.

8. Click the Build to File icon:

Build to File turns your STL into an s3g file. s3g is a format the MakerBot can understand.

Save your s3g file to the SD card. In this example, the SD card is called BOTCARD.

9. Plug in the black power cord and turn on the MakerBot.

10. Plug in the USB cable. (flat end goes in the computer, square end goes in the MakerBot).

11. Click the Connect icon.

12. f you are using new plastic:

• Type 225 for Nozzle Temperature, press Tab to Enter.
• 
  
• Once Target Temp is reached, click forward to heat and extrude the old filament segment. Once the end of the segment has sunken down to the inside of the plastic channel, click stop.
• Loosen the black knob above the nozzle. This will open up the channel so you can fit the lead of the new filament inside. Don’t take the old filament out, just insert the new filament right above it. Tighten the knob on the new filament so it’s snug, but not iron-tight. Click the “Forward” button to push the new filament through.
• 

13. If you need to calibrate:

Go to File > Scripts > Calibration >

• Thing-O-Matic calibration.gcode
• 
  
• Click Build:

• Follow the prompts on screen. After you click Yes, motor sounds are normal.

14. Eject the SD card from the computer (like you would with a thumb drive) and put the card in the bot.


15. Click Build from SD card icon:

16. Choose your file from the list of items on the card. Click Build!

**if you see nothing in the list: close the popup, remove the card from the makerbot, re-insert, and try again. No need to eject the card from the bot–only necessary on computer.

17. Unplug the USB cable. You can start preparing your next print once unplugged because the MakerBot is using the SD card, not the computer, to run the print job.
