MakerBot replicator 2

[Peter Duperry]

I brought in a MakerBot Replicator 2 from work that needs to be repaired/rebuilt. There is a missing X axis stepper motor and I think that the extruder stepper or stepper driver may be faulty. The last few times I tried to use it it would stop extruding shortly after cleaning the nozzle. It may just need the hotend thoroughly cleaned and the x axis stepper replaced, I just never got around to fixing it. I had other more reliable machines to use so I didn't have the motivation to fix this one. If anyone wants it it is free for the taking. If not, I'll bring it home and scrap it out the next time I'm up at the space.

maybe the hack space could use another one
