I think this way Makerbot wants to tell that you need to have a newest firmware, instead of asking to update it on every possible media source :)

Go to this thread: http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.php?13564-MakerBot-Desktop-Version-3-7
Download 3.6 Version of Makerbot desktop and connect to your mini, upgrade the printer with the newest...

what kind of replicator do you have? Rep2 or 5th gen? strange thing I havent encountered such issue with the newest software.

I would definitely recommend you to change the plunger kit, can happen that the spring wears off over time. So for a temporary solution you can take it out, stretch it a little bit with pliers, clean...

without a right fan you wont be able to avoid constant extruder clogs. Please make sure you have installed new fan with the sticker looking inside to the heat sink and try again.

sapient24,

thank you for pictures, I found the issue:
1. change your fan to the original one, and don't use cheap chineese junk, because it could lead to such problems.
2. your fan is looking...

Its Rep2 I doubt it has second extruder :) you are right about the temperature, they tend to get hot, but usually after some work hours not instantly.

Hi sapient24,

you should check the extruder assembly again, maybe some broken pieces of the fan got stuck somewhere in between motor and the extruder kit, make sure you clean everything there. You...

have you deleted all the files from C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Local\Temp and reinstalled the software if I am right? If that didn't help you could try to update your graphic drivers, check if...

I dont know if you wanted 3.2 or 3.2.2. which I added in the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v77u6hox3ubq9rs/MakerBot_Bundle_BETA_3.2.2.47_7x64_Install.exe?dl=0

I think he has already done that :)

Hello,

it is so called backlash effect. The belt over tensioning actually can even make the situation worse. Hold the both X belt sides firmly together that the Extruder carriage wont move, then...

Well I wouldn't quite agree on that. I personally own one and could agree, that over the last year there was ups and downs for makerbot 5th Gen. ( more downs than ups maybe ) , but after the latest...

since when wanhao is Miami based and has something to do with Rhino? :)

From your picture I could tell that something with your cooling or the temperature measuring is not right.
Could you please take another picture of how your complete extruder looks like? It could be...

Hi,

Z18 is designed for bigger prints and the quality is also great. Do you have a lot of retractions of the small parts? Have you tried using Dust filter, it can reduce the stringing and increase...

Hi,
if the tape got loose from the hot end you can take it completely away. I am printing without thermal tape and its fine.
It depends on what you are trying to print and what settings are you...
