AFTER YOU PRINT
REMOVING THE PRINT FROM THE BUILD PLATE
When your print finishes, remove the flexible build plate from the MakerBot Method. Remove the print from the build
plate by simply bending the flexible build plate. The print will peel off the smooth grip surface. After the model has
been removed, soaking it in warm water will cause the PVA to dissolve. Warm water with agitation will increase the
speed at which the support material dissolves. Do not heat the water higher than 40º Celsius as this may cause the
part(s) to deform.
NOTE: When you bend the flexible build plate, some pieces of the raft may remain on the plate. Simply bend the
flex build plate again or use a flat, non-sharp tool such as a putty knife to remove the raft pieces. Never use a knife to
remove pieces of the raft—doing so can damage the build plate.
STARTING A PRINT WITH THE
MAKERBOT METHOD
There are two ways to begin printing an object. You can use the touchscreen on the MakerBot Method or MakerBot Print.
When you are ready to print your model, click PRINT in MakerBot Print to slice the model using the current settings
and send a .makerbot print file to your MakerBot Method. You will be reminded to clear the build plate and asked to
initiate the print on the touchscreen. You can also select [BEGIN PRINTING] on the touch screen after starting the
file transfer.
If MakerBot Print is connected to your MakerBot Method, the print file will be sent directly to your 3D printer. If
MakerBot Print is not connected to your MakerBot Method, this button will open a dialog allowing you to export and
save a .makerbot print file. You can transfer the print file to your MakerBot Method using a USB drive.
HOW TO PAUSE OR CANCEL A PRINT
To pause a print, push the pause icon on the print progress screen. You can also select the printer in MakerBot Print
and select PAUSE.
To cancel a print, tap the top of the screen that says printing or paused. A drop down will appear with the option to
cancel the print.
