Maker Bot Replicator2 X

Skip to comments   Jump to end

I have an opportunity to obtain an makerbot 3d printer. I have zero experience with any type of 3d printing whatsoever. Does this tool come with software to design the piece or does it require a program like autocad 3d or solidworks to design and then convert to machine code? Thanks for any help!

To clarify I can Just use Makerware with the Flashforge Pro or am I stuck using ReplicatorG?

I'll do more research and provide a link for my info. I have read that you can use makerware. I just woke up so give me a bit and I will find it.

I have a Makerbot Replicator 2 now for almost a year with about 1500 hours printing with no issues.

Do not go to small because it really limits what you can print.... in fact I wish I had a larger printer sometimes.

With the Makerbot 2, although a great printer can only print in PLA... I prefer abs for strength and durability....

Shows a setting for ABS but never tried.
