I?ve inherited eight 3D printers!

I successfully printed Benchy the boat on two Solidoodles this morning in ABS. I?m thrilled and relieved. I?ll start trying to refine my print quality this week.

MakerBot appears to be dead. MakerBot tech support suggested a firmware update to try flashing the Replicator with but it didn?t work. They said they could not provide any further support on such an old machine.

This is fun!

If the primary components (steppers, hot end, heat bed, etc) appear to be in good shape, you might get away with replacing the controller board with something more contemporary and flashing the required values into the firmware. Advanced 3D printer repair 601.
