The MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer makes solid, three-dimensional objects

out of melted MakerBot PLA Filament. Your 3D design ﬁles are translated into instructions

for the MakerBot Replicator 2 and sent to the machine via USB cable or SD Card. Then

the MakerBot Replicator 2 heats the MakerBot PLA Filament and squeezes it out through

an extruder to make a solid object layer by layer. This method is called Fused Filament

Fabrication [FFF].

HOW DOES IT WORK?

ACTIVE COOLING FAN: The fan that

cools the MakerBot PLA Filament as

it extrudes.

BUILD PLATE: The surface on which the

MakerBot Replicator 2 makes an object.

BUILD PLATFORM: The support for the

build plate. The build platform includes

knobs for manual leveling.

PLUNGER: A part of the extruder

assembly. The Delrin plunger pushes the

MakerBot PLA Filament against

the drive gear.

DRIVE GEAR: The gear that drives the

MakerBot PLA Filament into the heater.

EXTRUDER: Draws MakerBot PLA

Filament from the spool and pushes it

into the nozzle, where it is heated and

squeezed onto the build plate

EXTRUDER FAN: The fan that keeps the

MakerBot Replicator 2 motor cool and

disperses heat from the heat sink.

FAN GUARD: A grill that protects the

extruder fan and protects the user

from the fan.

FILAMENT GUIDE TUBE: A plastic tube

that guides the MakerBot PLA Filament

from the ﬁlament spool to the extruder.

GCODE: A computer language used to

describe the toolpath your MakerBot

Replicator 2 will use to build an object.

GCode is converted to S3G before being

sent to your machine.

HEAT SINK: An active heat sink that

dissipates heat from the cartridge heater.

It looks like an aluminum plate with ﬁns.

LCD CONTROL PANEL: The liquid-

crystal display in the front lower right

corner of the MakerBot Replicator 2. This

control panel provides status information

about the MakerBot Replicator 2 and

includes control menus and diagnostics.

MAKERBOT PLA FILAMENT: Polylactic

acid ﬁlament. PLA is a renewable

bioplastic. MakerBot PLA Filament is the

source material from which you make

objects on the MakerBot Replicator 2.

MAKERBOT REPLICATOR 2: The

MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer.

MAKERWARE: Free soware created

by MakerBot that allows you to load 3D

model ﬁles, manipulate and edit those

ﬁles, and send them to the MakerBot

Replicator 2 for building.

MOTOR ASSEMBLY: The stepper motor

and the drive block that push ﬁlament

into the extruder.

08 A WELCOME, LET’S GET STARTED

TERMINOLOGY

MOTOR WIRES: The bundle of electrical

wires that provide power to the motor.

NOZZLE: The opening on the end of the

extruder from which heated MakerBot PLA

Filament emerges to be spread onto the

build plate.

POWER SUPPLY: An A/C power supply

for the MakerBot Replicator 2 that

includes a block and two plugs.

REPLICATOR G: Free, open source

soware that allows you to manipulate

and edit .stl ﬁles and GCode ﬁles and

send them to the MakerBot Replicator 2.

S3G: A compact format for describing

the toolpath your MakerBot Replicator 2

will use to build an object.

SD CARD: Secure Digital memory card

that can store digital data and be read by

the MakerBot Replicator 2.

SPACERS: Plastic pieces that keep the

extruder fan and heat sink secure and

in place.

SPOOL HOLDER: A part that attaches

to the back of the MakerBot Replicator

2 and holds the spool of MakerBot PLA

Filament. The spool holder ensures that

the MakerBot PLA Filament is fed evenly

to the MakerBot Replicator 2.

.THING: A ﬁle format used by MakerWare

that allows you to print multiple 3D

models on the same plate.

THINGIVERSE: A website for uploading

and downloading 3D model ﬁles for use

with the MakerBot Replicator 2.

THREADED ROD: A long rod that is

threaded along its entire length. This

rod allows the build platform to move

up and down.

.STL: A widely used ﬁle format for

3D models.

USB CABLE: A cable that allows the

MakerBot Replicator 2 to communicate

with a computer using the USB interface

on the computer.
