Hi,
I find that version 2.4.27 sucks for the old flashforge- and dual prints come out whack, so for anyone with an old wooden flashforge dual, this is the best working makerware i've found.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since Makerware is no longer available for download, here is the 64 bit version of the last known (well, the last that I know) working version for the FlashForge 3D (that lets you actually do proper dual extrusion...)

The new Makerbot Desktop software, for me, is not compatible with my old flashforge and does some very strange things, so I simply stick with the older Makerware. Sad thing is, they have removed the download now in an effort to push people on to their newer, crapper, more expensive machines.

MakerWare v2.4.0.14 Mediafire Link

do you want the 32 bit one as well ?
Got that on the printer computer.

'The bundle of awesomness' lol
And they say americans don't do irony :-) (well they say it in england anyway ;-)

Awesome of you Geoff. I was able to secure a copy from another helpful forum member not too long ago after I discovered makerbot had pulled all downloads and support pages for the old software.

Thanks guys!!! greatly appreciated!

Thank you geoff, appreciated muchly

Makerware is gone unless you have a Makerbot?

Nope, it's still there - you can download the new version 3 of the software - but it's proper idiot software. Bugger all options, horrible interface, tries to tie you into their online system. Just not nice to use, at all.
2.4.014 was the last decent version.

Ya, went to look after posting. Was thinking Makerware was going to be licensed by machine which wouldn't surprise me.

I thought Makerware Desktop was ok. But using S3D for now.

ok so finally got around to trying to install this, and wont install under windows 8.1, even running compatability mode as win 7, then trying to run as admin still no go, surely there has to be a way to install it on a win 8.1 machine

I don't have windows 8.1 sorry, and because its the 64bit version, the xp-mode virtual machine wont work .. damn.

Not sure if this will help with Win 8.1 but it might. It's for Win 8

Awesome, been looking for this.
Thanks Geoff

Look at that, joined the forum and within minutes its paying off.!

For those looking for a Windows 8.1 installer of Makerware http://www.3bfab.com/3d-akademi/download-center

-Make sure Windows driver signature enforcement is off before installing http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-...igned-drivers/

If it's telling you it won't install because it doesn't have a certificate, turn off 8.1's certificate enforcement. Instructions here:

Hello Geoff,

Do you happen to know where I can get a 32bit version of Makerware?
I do have the 64bit version on my work laptop but I thought it would be good to have software on a dedicated laptop but its using XP on a 32bit HP.

Thanks for any help you may provide.

I'm using a Flashforge Creator Pro.

Urgh. I just installed this and I'm missing the icons (for scaling, turning, choosing which extruder to use, etc). What went wrong, am I missing something?

Hey curious aardvark,
Do you still have a32 bit version of the Maker ware software? I'd love to get my hands on that if you do.

Thanks Dan

erm...i might ask smt stupid now..but how im supposed to save an x3g? i mean in my case the MAKE button doesnt seem to wrk( n all other versions of their software dont launch on my Win7 woteva i do...

makerware automatically generates x3g files.
think it's all it does, certainly the early versions.

I've never had any problems with windows 7 - all I've ever used on the cad machine.

so which version and install are you using ?

Curious Aardvark,

Do you still have a 32-bit version of MakerWare that you are willing to share? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Don

Does anyone have a copy to share?

I use simplify3d. I regularly test simplify3d against the latest versions of makerware.

Yes I've still got it. But a much much better option is to use flashforge's Flashprint: http://www.flashforge.com/flashprint/
Way better and easier to use software.
Download from link below:
http://www.flashforge.com/support-ce...print-support/
Just select creator pro from the list of printers.
I've actually switched from simplify3d - which I never could get to work properly with my klic-n-print (steel framed creator pro clone).
Just use flashprint for it now.
S3d does slice a little better - but flashprint is vastly superior on dual material prints and good enough on single material that the difference isn't really worth bothering about.

My only real annoyance with flashprint is that you need to slice and save the file before you can preview the print.
No 'slice preview' only button.
But it's a massive improvement on makerware.
Plus works fine on 32bit windows :-)

I could use the 32 bit version if one is available..
Thanks

use flashprint instead. faster, easier to use and way better for dual prints.
