Here are some links to some past versions of MakerBot Desktop. We recommend using the latest releases when possible but if you are having issues with the latest release, rolling back to a previous version can be a good workaround. Select your operating system below to install MakerBot Desktop. Mac OS Snow Leopard. MAC OS X 10.8+ Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 (64-bit) Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 (32-bit).
When printing we generally try to avoid a raft as it often adds unnecessary time and cost to the print in addition to sometimes reducing the finish on the bottom of the print. With that being said there are many times where a raft is useful and will improve your overall results. Below is a short list of such cases: Tall and skinny objects that may either wobble or have trouble sticking to the platform Large flat bottomed objects that have a very strong tendency to warp or not stick Objects that you don't want to have squished into the platform Objects that are difficult to remove from the build plate Objects with support material directly on the build plate that doesn't stick well These objects are being rafted for a variety of reasons and it is important to be aware of some of the very basic settings on rafts … Read more
The MakerBot is an open source 3D-printer. Great for experimenting with designs and small scale manufacturing. The latest model, The Replicator (Jan. 2012), has the capability to print using two extruders, stand-alone, and with an even higher degree of accuracy. The previous model, Thing-O-Matic, had also improved printing accuracy and expanded electronics platform.
Below is the main illustrations I made for MakerBot Industries.
On the Thing-O-Matic all the electronics are neatly hidden away under the build platform, including the power-supply. On the new The Replicator all the separate boards are implemented in a new mainboard, called the Mighty Board.
The electrical connections is shown in the overview image below. It shows all the components and how they're connected. For more details and photos of the assembly, check the official Thing-O-Matic electronics installation pages.

All the components below has been compiled into a Frizing library to be used for prototyping, the connection-points has bin omitted. The original illustrator files are available in the section above.

The main board is mounted together with a Arduino-controller. An external USB-interface allow commands to be sent via [1] ReplicatorG] and a SD-card slot can be used to load files to be printed in sequence locally. A row of connectors hooks up the stepper motor controllers, extruder controller, and endstops.
This board has inputs from the thermalcouple temperature measuring probe, high-power MOSFET to drive current the main heater to melt plastic and heat the assembly board. Auxiliary connections for controlling the automated assembly plate and heat sensor for the board temperature control.
On top of the extruder is the feed for the plastic, driven by a DC-motor from the extruder controller. The heat element is a long piece of metal tube to keep the heat and melting process even. Two heat resistors exerts heat onto the main metal block before the plastic is extruded through a narrow nozzle. The thermocouple is mounted on the main block.
On the newer MK6 and MK6 Plus models the DC-motor is swapped in favor of a more precise stepper motor. The heater element is also upgraded to a custom made heater cartridge coupled with a safety cutoff board.
To drive the stepper motors, a controller can control the motion of the axis down to an accuracy of 1.8 degrees per step. The operation can be fine tuned using 4 potentiometers on the controller. Two dip-switches determine the type of stepper-motor that will be attached.
Each axis has an end-stop to signal when its at the farthest/closes point in its range. Activision customer service chat.
To keep the plastic from shrinking during the printing process, the base where the object sits is heated by a copper maze on the board. A thermistor underneath is monitoring the temperature. On the automated model the base can roll out when the object is finished.
The new main board is a implementation of the separate boards on the Thing-O-Matic. This will hopefully reduce the cost of the MakerBot.
The same MK7 extruder is used on The Replicator, only in dual configuration. This allows for mid-run change of materials. Both support and colors can be changed. Colors can even be loaded during a print when the other is not in use.
To drive the stepper motors, the new board is much smaller and plugs into a socket on the main board. The modular design makes it easy to replace any overloaded and damaged boards.
To detect the end of travel, the same unchanged end stops are used.
One of the main differences on The Replicator is the much larger build platform, almost twice the area. The construction is as before, only on wider and deeper.
