Can’t load filament into the
MakerBot
®
Replicator
®
Smart Extruder.
Try unloading and loading again. Hold the Smart
Extruder in place and try pushing the filament
through. As long as you are holding the Smart
Extruder in place, pushing on the filament will not
damage it.
Can’t remove filament from
the MakerBot Replicator
Smart Extruder.
Try running the filament load script and allowing
plastic to extrude for a few seconds. Then try
unloading again.
Filament won’t extrude from
the Smart Extruder.
Try unloading and reloading the filament.
You may be able to avoid jams in the future
by allowing the Smart Extruder to cool
before turning off your MakerBot Replicator.
Printed object is stuck to
the build plate.
If the object is still stuck, take a thin metal
craft spatula and carefully work the blade
under the object. When the blade is most of the
way under the object, twist the handle slightly.
The object should come free.
