PRINT COMPLETE
After the print is complete, the screen will indicate its completion. Push the screen to continue to the next menu. You
will then be asked if you would like to print the object again, or return to the storage menu screen. Select your choice
by touching the screen accordingly.
If you wish to print the object again, make sure to clear the build plate.
MATERIAL
Select the [Material] icon to load or unload material.
TO LOAD MATERIAL
1.
Cut the end of your material to create a clean edge
2.
Use the touch screen to select [LOAD FOR MATERIAL BAY 1] or [LOAD FOR MATERIAL BAY 2]
3.
Follow the instructions on the screen
TO UNLOAD MATERIAL
1.
Use the touch screen to select [UNLOAD MATERIAL] for either Material Bay 1 or 2
2.
Follow the instructions on the screen
3.
When the Performance Extruder has stopped pushing the material out and the screen states that the material is
ready to be removed, gently pull the material and rewind it onto the spool
If you are changing material spools, make sure to keep the spool tightly wound as you pull the material free of the
guide tube. If you do not, the material could unravel or tangle on the spool.
NOTE: When you are not using a material spool, make sure the free end of the material is inserted into one of the
storage slots of the spool. This allows you to find the insertion end of the material much faster and will prevent the
spool from tangling. Spools not in use should be stored in the original bag they came in. This prevents moisture
uptake, which is important for maintaining print quality.
SETTINGS
Select the [SETTINGS] icon to personalize your MakerBot Method, edit network or sharing settings, update
firmware, access automated XYZ calibration, and other tools.

touchscreen stating that your firmware is already up-to-date. If the printer can not be connected to the internet,
firmware can be updated via MakerBot Print.

Select [CONNECT TO WIFI] to begin the setup process of connecting your MakerBot Method to a WiFi connection.
When you select [CONNECT TO WIFI], the MakerBot Method will show the available WiFi networks. Select the WiFi
network that you would like to connect to and enter a password if required.
