Hey all, currently using a makerbot replicator (original) that I had initially setup using replicatorg however switched to makerbot desktop for easy if adjusting settings and a cleaner interface. I am now attempting to get makerbot print to work just in hopes there is even more adjustability (can't see the setting tab yet because I'm not connected to printer.
This is my problem. Once I had setup makerbot desktop the replicatorg software was unable to see or connect to the printer. To verify this I Uninstalled desktop and rebooted and then repg was able to see and print to the makerbot. Now I am thinking that the reason I am unable to find or connect to my rep on makerbot print is because repg is (even when I have clicked disconnect) holding the connection.
The problem lies in my inability o find repg to uninstall. How do I go about getting rid of repg or even better, is there wla way to force the makerbot print software to find my old rep? I did the troubleshooting questions swapped ports, checked the driver version and that was all fine (and again makerbot desktop was printing fine and after uninstall ING I verified I could print on repg so the connection is fine (to com3 port)
I've got the latest version of MakerBot Print 4.3.0.1488 but I['m not able to make changes any of the print settings. I get an error about Set property failed ReferenceError: botTypelsBirdwing is not defined. I've been using MakerBot Desktop as a workaround but it never automatically connects to my printer over WiFi and I have to hit the button the on front every time I turn it on.. Thanks!
Does anyone know how I can get the 4.2 installer for MakerbotPrint? 4.3 drops compatibility with the Replicator 2, so the auto-update effectively bricked my printer. Makerbot has this page with a link to download the legacy version 4.2, however it wrongly points to the download for 4.3 instead. I'd be very grateful if anyone can help!

will the x3gwriter plugin work for using cura with my makerbot replicator+? i am needing a better software program than makerbot print since this program has very limited settings. makerbot print does not allow for fine tuning retraction & many more settings that other programs like cura have. i found the x3gwriter plugin that claims to make a slice usable by other printers but i wanted to ask here first.
i realize this is a cura forum but if anyone knows of a quality software program that will work with makerbot replicator will you please note it here? plz & thank you. i am getting dog doo prints using makerbot print b/c it has poop for settings adjustment or not the settings at all.
I am trying to make the connection with the 3 d print issue and the 7 19 model.? They are different issues to my thought process. Could you clarify what your ultimate plans are for you effort??. The artifacts you see in the 7 19 model IMHO is issues with you not properly using the Su inference engine but, then you have the issue it is not acceptable for a number of structural reasons if your thoughts are using it for real life use or even for talking points depending who.
Suggest you use the text tool and check some of the x,y,z coplanarity of some of your lines and you will find there are small errors I am sure realted to inference engine use above. This results in losing surfaces when some lines are deleted and should not.
I did a check on stray lines( there are 22) and you have a few suggest you use the stray line plugin you can find here Smustard(TM) - the Companion to Sketchup(TM) - StrayLines
I assume you will have some load bearing walls but having the column in the middle of the island is not good??
Thanks for your review and comments. The objective is to come up with kitchen redesigns with 3D printing to visualize designs better and explore/evaluate variants. The reiterating problem is failure to export and print 3D models that resemble what appears on screen in SU. I do have the issue of badly connecting surfaces which it increasingly seems are due to use of the surface push/pull tool which perhaps does not always move pefectly orthogonally to original surfaces?
I am a SU beginner so all guidance gratefully received.
And yes, the column is a problem we will review with a structural engineer.

I have a Makerbot Replicator 5th generation printer. This is the one that is very locked down. As far as I know it can only use the slicer it comes with, Makerbot print, but I'd be happy to be told otherwise. It only prints in PLA and @Trish gave some good advice on drying out the filament. I've also leveled the print bed. Prints have improved from where they couldn't even finish to now where they just aren't very good quality.
The issue I'm having now seems to be primarily that one build layer sometimes doesn't stick to the one below it very well. Then they peel up and the nozzle pulls them and re-melts them into a blob. I've attached two pictures. It's worse in the first one, then I lowered the first model layer fan setting from 50% to 45% and it improved and I was able to get the print in the second picture.
The default print temp for this printer is 215. This is at 210 degrees, but those blobs aren't actually burned they are a mix of the previous red filament that was on the outside of the nozzle. The travel speed is 150 mm/s, First model layer print speed is 30mm/s, Raft to model shell vertical offset is 0.26mm, Raft to model vertical offset is 0.33mm (I can't tell what the different between those is), z-offset is 0 (default), Layer height is 0.14mm. In the second picture the print was attached but separated easily from the raft.
I'm still using a raft because prints fail completely without it and work reasonably well with one so I have no problem using a raft. Now most of my problem is blobs of filament that I think are running down the nozzle from the heater core. I may have to take some timelapse video to figure that part out. I'm also having some stringing which may be a filament quality issue and some layer shifting.
PLA should not need that high temperatures to print nor does it need a raft. Rafts are interesting when printing filaments that have high shrinkage. Furthermore, a 90 mm/s infill speed is pretty high, and do not use the part cooling fan for the first few layers (if you cool too much it can curl up).
Somehow another connection issue here.
On my CTC the setup works great. Everything as expected. In the control tab everything works!
BUT:
If I upload a x3g file and try to print it, astrobox looses the connection to the printer and nothing happens.
The CTC wants to start the print (The screen even changes to the Heating-Monitor-Screen with the filename displayed) but then it stops.
Our implementation would choke and stop at that error. We have now made a fix that gracefully logs a warning when this happens and continues the print. I was able to print the file that @Spiernik sent me after this fix.
I'm relatively inexperienced with making 3D models. Usage will be mostly to print small support pieces to be used inside enclosures etc, but I also hope to be able to print some decorative items from Thingiverse and other sources.
You really need to do more research. No one person can give you the exact printer you should have. Maybe it is a Cubicon Single? Maybe it is an Original Prusa i3 MK2 with or without quad extruders? Maybe it is a Gigabot? Maybe it is a gMax 1.5 XT+? Maybe it is a Fabrikator Mini?
* The "smart" Extruder. I think everybody has had problems with it, so not a big deal. I see there is a replacement now, but it is USD 200, which is money I will consider spending towards a new printer instead of putting more money into the MakerBot. My understanding is that the new extruder is more stable, but the print quality is the same.
