MAKERBOT PRINTSHOP

MAKERBOT MOBILE

MakerBot PrintShop is a free app that allows you to design and customize prints, explore 
and print from Thingiverse, and monitor and control your MakerBot Replicator Mini, all from 
your tablet .

MakerBot Printshop has three features: 

Makers

,

 Explore

, and 

My Stuff

 .

With the 

Maker

 tools, you can customize designs such as signs and bracelets using base 

models provided by the app .

In 

Explore

, you can browse a selection of ready-to-print items from Thingiverse .

In 

My Stuff

, you can access all recent prints initiated from MakerBot Printshop, as well as 

your saved customized designs .

Once you initiate a print with MakerBot PrintShop, you can monitor that print as it’s 
happening . The onboard camera on your MakerBot Replicator Mini will periodically take 
photos of the build area, viewable right on your tablet . You can also pause and cancel prints 
directly from MakerBot PrintShop .
