mAKErBOT FiLAmENT: 1.75mm diameter
plastic welding rod. This is the feedstock
for your MakerBot Replicator 2X. MakerBot
Filament comes in ABS, PLA and PVA plastics.
The Replicator 2X is optimized for ABS.
mAKErwArE: Free software created by
MakerBot that allows you to load, rotate,
scale and move 3D models and send them
to the MakerBot Replicator 2X to be
3D printed.
mOTOr ASSEmBLy: The stepper motor
and the drive block that push filament into
the extruder. Each extruder contains
a motor assembly.
mOTOr wirES: The bundle of electrical
wires that provide power to the motors.
NOzzLES: The openings on the ends of
the extruders from which heated MakerBot
Filament emerges to be spread onto the
build plate.
PLA: Polylactic acid is a renewable
bioplastic, and one of the materials from
which MakerBot Filament is made.
PVA: Polyvinyl alcohol is a water-soluble
plastic that is sometimes used for
dissolvable support structures.
POwEr SUPPLy: The A/C power supply
for the MakerBot Replicator 2X. It includes a
block and two plugs.
rEPLiCATOrg: Free, open source software
that allows you to manipulate and edit .stl
files and GCode files and send them to the
MakerBot Replicator 2X.
SD CArD: Secure Digital memory card that
can store digital data and be read by the

FAT16 with a maximum capacity of 2 GB.
SPACErS: The plastic pieces that keep the
extruder fans and heat sinks secure and in place.
SPOOL hOLDErS: The plastic pieces that

2X and hold the spools of MakerBot Filament.
The spool holder ensures that the MakerBot
Filament is fed evenly to the extruders.
.ThiNg: A file format used by MakerWare
that allows you to print multiple 3D models
on the same build plate.
ThiNgiVErSE: A website for uploading and
downloading 3D model files for use with the
MakerBot Replicator 2X.
ThrEADED rOD: The long metal rod behind
the build platform that is threaded along its
entire length. This rod allows the build platform
to move up and down along the Z-axis.

USB CABLE: A cable that allows the
MakerBot Replicator 2X to communicate
with a computer using the USB interface
on the computer.
.X3g: A compact format for describing the
toolpath your MakerBot Replicator 2X will
use to 3D print an object.
