DOS AND DON’TS
21 TROUBLESHOOTING
MakerBot encourages you to tinker with
your Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printer,
but there are some things we know are bad
ideas, and you should know about them, too.
• Don’t put any liquids into your extruder.
Whether it’s boiling water or acetone or
anything in between, it’s not going to help
and it could do a lot of harm.
• Don’t overheat your extruder. We set
temperature limits in our software for your
safety and for the extruder’s safety, so
don’t use anything other than the installed
heaters to heat your extruder – don’t use
blowtorches, and don’t detach parts of the
extruder and put them in the oven.
• Don’t use sharp tools to remove objects
from the build plate – using a knife or
a razor blade to remove prints is just as
likely to hurt you as it is to help.
• Don’t turn your MakerBot Replicator 2X
off immediately after finishing a print.
Give the extruder fans time to cool the
extruder first.
• Don’t drill out your extruder nozzle or drive
any kind of metal tool through the nozzle.
If you change the shape or size of your
nozzle, the slicer will not be able to create
accurate toolpaths.
• Don’t try to replace your extruder nozzles.
The nozzles are very securely attached
to the extruder, and trying to remove
them might result in the threaded portion
of the nozzle shearing off and remaining
inside the thermal core.
• Do make sure small and medium-sized
prints work well before leaving your
MakerBot Replicator 2X unattended
for long prints.
• Do use only MakerBot Filament with
your MakerBot Replicator 2X.
• Do be careful with the ceramic insulation
on your extruders’ thermal cores. Hitting
them with tools or gripping them
with pliers might break off parts of
the ceramic insulation.
