The printer comes with an integrated LCD interface as well as an onboard SD card that makes printing a piece of cake. If you are setting up a brand new Replicator 3D printer, make sure to read the User Manual that comes with the printer. This describes the unboxing and final assembly including installing the filament guide tube and filament spool holder. The remainder of this page is written specifically for the Replicator 2, but the same process can be applied to the other Makerbot-style printers like the Replicator 1, Replicator 2X, MBot Cube, Flashforge Creator, etc.

Before we dive into the software, there are a few final hardware checks you should perform before using your Replicator 2.

The Replicator 2 comes with several additional pieces you will need to install before performing your first print. The two important items of interest are the filament guide tube and the filament spool holder. The filament guide tube plugs into the extruder body and then attaches to the rear of the Replicator 2. The filament spool holder has a tab that can be inserted into the rear panel of the machine. The filament spool will then rest on this part allowing it to spin freely and continue to feed filament during normal operation.

This sounds easy, but we found that the filament spool holder supplied with our machine was not ideal, even for the included PLA filament spool. The spool holder was a bit too wide and actually created too much friction with the provided spool.

The machine was originally plagued with constant extruder clicking during high-speed printing, which was eventually traced back to this increased friction. The last thing to do is to power on your Replicator 2 by plugging in the included power cord and flipping the switch on the rear of the unit. The first time you do this, the build-in LCD menu will automatically run the included startup script that will walk you through the process of leveling your build plate and feeding your PLA filament into the extruder.

The Makerbot Replicator 2 uses the x3g file format for printing. This is a binary file that the machine reads which contains all of the instructions for printing. The output x3g file can then be printed in two ways.

ReplicatorG features a very nice interface, which really helps first-timers. Intuitive and large buttons decorate the upper part of the main window and allow for basic operations to be made, without having to access the bulkier menus.

This feature is great both for making last minute improvements to the product, but also for fine-tuning certain issues that might become evident only in a 3D environment. These things being said, the real punch of the application comes when accessing the menus. Although the utility requires a Python interpreter in order to build and assemble GCode lines, one can, nonetheless, write new scripts or edit existing ones.
