to connect via usb cable:
1. Remove the USB cable from the accessory box.
2. Insert the USB-B end of the cable into the port on the back of your MakerBot Replicator
and insert the USB-A end of the cable into a USB port on your computer.
to connect via Ethernet:
1. Locate an Ethernet cable (not included).
2. Connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet port at the back of the MakerBot Replicator.
Connect the other end to a wall jack or router used by your local area network.

No additional setup is required. See Chapter 4 for instructions on exporting print files.
once you’re connected, download MakerBot Desktop to complete setup of your MakerBot
Replicator.

Your MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer is also set up for built-in Wi-Fi connectivity.
We will be enabling onboard Wi-Fi with a firmware update soon.
