TROUBLESHOOTING

LCD ERROR MESSAGES 

CONTINUED

Something might be wrong with your 
extruder. Please contact MakerBot Support 
by emailing [email protected].

This is just an informational message. If 
you are loading or unloading filament, the 
process times out after five minutes.

The onboard preheat sequence was 
interrupted by instructions sent by the 
software telling the MakerBot Replicator 2X 
to change the extruder temperature.

These are the messages you could receive if 
your SD card is not formatted correctly or if 
there is something wrong with the card. Your 
MakerBot Replicator 2X can read SD cards:

• formatted for FAT16 SDSC card
• no larger than 2GB.

Make sure your SD card has not been 
removed from the MakerBot Replicator 2X 
during printing. If the card is still in its port 
on the MakerBot Replicator 2X, there might 
be a problem with the card itself. Make sure 
the card is formatted correctly.
