This whole situation points to a true corporate take over. Letters of intent were signed about 2 years ago between these parties. Stratasys takes the Makerbot product and name, shuffles out Bre...
I agree with aardvark. Why???? Don’t get me wrong it is cool and everything but this only helps to confirm for me the suspicioun that Stratasys basically told Bre “thanks but buzz off” and threw...
I’ll believe it when I see it (printing) FFF or FDM are restricted due to the physical properties of the material being extruded and the properties of the extruder (inertia). You certainly pointed...
done Hopefully you have posted this in some of the other places on the site
That was a pretty poor choice for a picture. The picture is in fact of the kong toy, but the printed toy is not that.
You guys have to read the article or watch the video to see the real toy. ...
Rep 2 user here. Prepare for an impending wall of text… sorry if its TMI ;)
TL;DR version? You need a Resin printer, but if not, although I love my rep 2, both the rep 2 and 2x are great...
When you say the whole machine is hot to the touch, what do you mean? Just that the steppers are hot, or literally the whole machine, ie the frame and other components. The reason I ask is because...
Yup finding a true 1gb SD card these days can be a difficult task (a lot of 1 gb cards that you can buy are actually 2gb and up cards that had sector failures.)
A workaround to this and a...
Here you go. I couldn't find the original link that I used. So I put it online.

I was looking for a copy of that the other day as well (to try out on a project I was working on that utilized windows xp) and finally after a lot of work found a copy.
I am at work currently but...
The "update" from makerbot doesn't do anything but make the story worse. Basically their rep said that nothing new is coming to fix the problem and the "new" designs are already out. So basically...
What he said, If at all possible I would attempt to return the printer and pick up a different make or model, I love my rep 2, Ultimaker has an amazing printer, lulzbot taz 4 is another stand out. ...
Are you printing just one of these at a time? Assuming that you are as well as that (due to your description) the long piece is being printed upright then the issue is likely that the print is just...
To answer this issue however, it sounds like more of a software issue though than anything, but I believe you will shortly start to see some of the other issues many other users are experiencing with...
It is both hardware and software issues. Software can and probably will over the long haul be improved, you can’t revert back to anything prior to gen 5’s as it is incompatible the only hope is...
@bongodrum I agree with your post here, especially about makers and 3D print enthusiasts being turned off from the brand, I don’t know a single person from these groups who is happy with MB’s...
All I can say is... About time. I am happy to see a store dropping the new 5th gen printers. janeg of 1 post, if what you say is in fact true you appear to be in the minority, as countless people...
As much as this should surprise me…. It doesn’t, at least not with the type company Makerbot has morphed into. What I find funny however is the fact that they can take days, and weeks to respond to...
You state that you want something that can print dual colors, - 5th gens don't
You state that you want something that can hit 100 microns, - 5th gens claim to but quality is not what you can get...
I am assuming you meant to say that the Cube 2 has proprietary filament as I know they do and it also just isn't true with Makerbot Printers. Makerbot SAYS you should only be using their filament...
Look like nice printers, Large build volume for lower prices
Agreed, I would like to see your progress in this area as well.
Is this your first time loading the extruder on this particular printer, or have you run prints with it before?
If this is your first time, try clipping the end of the filament on an angle,...
I would need to see pictures to fully see what you are saying here, but if you are having a slanting build up (depending on the slant) it sounds as if your motor is skipping steps, ie shifting the...
I tried watching your video on both my work computer and my home computer and I was never able to see the entire clip.
