Operation Manual

Run Startup Script. This entry launches
the startup script. The Startup Script runs
automatically the first time you power on the
MakerBot Replicator 2X. The Startup Script
walks you through the steps for leveling your
build plate, loading filament into the right
extruder, and printing from the SD card. To exit
the Startup Script, press the le arrow button.
You will not be able to exit the Startup Script
until the leveling portion of the script begins.
Disable Steppers/Enable Steppers. This
entry allows you to toggle on and o the
stepper motors that move the extruders and
build platform. If you need to manually move
the build platform or the extruders, you must
first disable the stepper motors.
Blink LEDs/Stop Blinking. This entry allows
you to toggle on and o blinking. When toggled
on, the LEDS in the MakerBot Replicator 2X will
start blinking. When toggled o, the LEDs in the
MakerBot Replicator 2X will stop blinking.
Calibrate Nozzles. This entry launches a
script that allows the MakerBot Replicator 2X
to correctly locate the two extruder nozzles.
Use this script if your dual extrusion prints
don’t appear to line up correctly on the plate.
The script will print a series of lines with each
nozzle and ask you to choose the ones that
line up best. Your MakerBot Replicator 2X will
store that information and use it to make your
dual extrusion prints align better in the future.
Exit Menu. This entry returns you to the
top-level menu.
