welcome!

Hello, and congratulations on your purchase of The Replicator™

! Soon, with the help of this 

humble guide, you will take your first steps into an entirely new dimension: the Third Dimension, 

or, as it’s more commonly known, 3D.

Today, you’ll set up The Replicator for the first time and make your first prints. Then you’ll set out 

on the path to finding new designs to print and even create models of your own.

You have already proven your wisdom and intelligence by purchasing The Replicator. Still, we 

highly recommend that you 

read this manual before unpacking — this will make it much 

easier to start your adventure into the third dimension. 

You can also find this documentation online at 

makerbot.com/docs/replicator.

how to unPack the RePlIcatoR™

The Replicator is packaged very carefully at the MakerBot BotCave™ — we hope you’ll take your 

time and be just as careful unpacking it. in this section, the names of important parts and acces-

sories will be in 

bold type. As you unpack, keep the following warning in mind:

Place The Replicator’s box on the ground next to a clean, flat workspace. Discard the top card-

board insert. Now remove the inner cardboard box — the one that fits around the outside of The 

Replicator.

You’ll be able to see the top of The Replicator now, as well as some cardboard boxes and packing 

material. The large box with a thick black cable leading into it is the 

Accessory Box, where you’ll 

find the 

stepstruder

®

 mk8 and other crucial things. Leave it in place for now.

Remove the inner cardboard box.

Do not force or tear anything out of place —  

this may damage The Replicator.

do not grasp the Replicator 

by the black cable.
