Overview
The Makerbot Replicator 2X is a desktop 3D printing machine. This machine can print out sculptures with a maximum height of 15 cm in ABS filament. You will need to prepare a 3D model in the shape you want to print and export this as .obj or .stl format.

Usage machine
Portal:Safety: Do not put your hands near the printing nozzle unless you are sure that the machine is not going to move. And be aware that it has a heating element. Hot!
How to prepare for 3D printing
- To prevent printing issue's, make sure that your design is a 'water tight' object.
- Export your design as .STL or as .OBJ
- Inport your file to Makerware program. ( View: How to use Makerware )
- Set up your settings, then check printing time estimation.
