We are using tinkercad right now. I will do as you suggested and check them with the other programs to make sure nothing is wrong with the tinkercad files

Please know I absolutely love this printer. It is the best ever! It was so easy to use and the students have learned so much! They are eager to come to science. The other 2 teams of students are jeleous and want to use it but I can’t bring their teachers into this century. This product has made a hu…

I am in constant contact with tech support. They keep askng for all kinds of things logs, serial numbers of the printer and extruder, types of computers I am using when it makes the errors (dell, HP, and Toshiba ) laptop or desktop, operating system (windows 10). Hopefully there is a common denomina…

I probably do have the old extruder. I am not sure if they look any different. But if the update was for the new extruder which is what I am hearing and now it doesn’t work. That would make sense.
-
Ok we can do that
-
I have no idea where the screw is. The new update wiped out every setting. They are all on zero so you are probably correct there. I found a button that says restore defaults. Would that turn it all on? I only have 1extruder now but know I need more. The school doesn’t provide this I have to so I am…

The printer was purchased in october 2015 and delivered in November. Makerbot is is looking at replacing the extruder and has asked for my logs and since the new 1.9 download they have found a few errors in the log. Now I don’t know what that means, but probably not good.

Thank you. I will do that.

Design on tinkercad and print on makerbot

I only have Makerbot filament. I keep it in the plastic bags with the little silicon packets to keep it dry when not in use. Even though I didn’t know any better until reading everyone’s posts here, I figured there must be a reason they are shipping it in bags with absorbing packets…lol. Common sens…

I have tried to heat the extruder without the filament and it keeps telling me to load the filament. I am doing something wrong there. Test prints from the machine always come out right. I will keep trying. Thank you for your help

I only have the makerbot PLA filament from the makerbot site so that is a plus. When it does print it prints beautifully and it appears to be random when it decides to print and when it doesn’t. Some files will turn out just fine and others not.
-
I use the painters tape that came with the printer - I clean it every 3-4 prints with alcohol but not every time. I will start doing that. That is an easy thing to do. Since this problem has started and Makerbot had me level the plate again, I have been leveling it before every print. The thing is s…

I have found that if I delete the program off the computer and reinstall I can get one print every day (the school won’t let downloading for fear of viruses on their networks) so I have to take it home every day to do this. I do this with my laptop, my husband’s laptop, and the laptop for the printe…

The extruder is set to 215c normally Makerbot told me to take it down to 210c so I have done that but it hasn’t seemed to help. When I load and unload I let the color go the whole way through and it produces an even flow so it seems to flow ok. Makerbot had me check all kinds of things. Some things …

I have found that if I can force the rafts to be on and the resolution to be at least 0.4 with supports on I can get some things that are recognizable. For instance see the pictures below. This is what I printed this morning for a student. I have included a picture of what was designed as well as ho…

My 7th grade life science classroom is part of a study with a local university on the outcomes of 3D printing on students and their 21st century skills. We have gotten a Maker Bot 5th generation printer and it has worked beautifully from October till this week. Now I am getting, for lack of a better…
