AFTER YOU PRINT

REMOVING THE PRINT FROM THE BUILD PLATE

When your print finishes and after it cools, remove the build plate from the MakerBot Sketch. Remove the print from 
the build plate by first slightly bending it, then using the provided tool to remove the print. The print will peel off the 
smooth grip surface. 

NOTE: Some pieces of the raft may remain on the plate. 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 SKETCH

There are two ways to begin printing an object. You can use the touchscreen on the MakerBot Sketch 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 Sketch.   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 Sketch, the print file will be sent directly to your 3D printer. If 
MakerBot Print is not connected to your MakerBot Sketch, 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 Sketch using a USB flash 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.

TO ADD AN OFFLINE PRINTER

1. 

Open the printer panel and click 

[ADD A PRINTER]

2. 

Select 

[ADD AN UNCONNECTED PRINTER]

3. 

Select a printer, and the build plate will update to the appropriate size
