The old dual-extruder MakerBot has been removed from the 3D printer lineup. It's not around anymore. Long live the MakerBot.

One heater is currently exposed. Needs to be dealt with one way or another. Exposed heater may have damaged some parts. Evaluate. --[[User:Rdoeksen|Rdoeksen]] ([[User talk:Rdoeksen|talk]]) 21:54, 14 February 2016 (CST)

Replace the stripped out extruder heater block from Nov. 13th breakdown. Extra heater blocks are in the 3D print area.

== Status ==
February 20, 2015: Left extruder working, right extruder not feeding properly.
     −
August 28, 2014: Both extruders working, but periodically jamming. See the "Clearing a Filament Jam" video on Makerbot's maintenance page for the Replicator . http://www.makerbot.com/support/replicator/documentation/maintenance/
+
*November 20, 2015: Nozzle that came off was replaced; heater block threads are damaged. Extruders were shimmed up on one side to level out the extruder nozzles.
 +
*November 13, 2015: bed-leveling screw nuts came off, bed hit one of the extruders and broke the nozzle off.
 +
*October 2015: Both extruders fixed and working. Upgraded software on both computers upstairs and enabled both extruders on the Makerbot. Made a cardstock and copper tape pad replacement for the defunct front panel controls. Diagnosed and removed SMD Mosfet for the heated build plate and swapped in the Mosfet from the extra output on the control board. Replaced and rewired broken left extruder fan with a 12V fan; should be 24V but works fine. Diagnosed bad temperature sensor and main connector contacts on the heated build (HBP) plate; replaced HBP with the spare. Modified the spare heated build plate to used heavier gauge wire and spade connectors to avoid burnout as in previous HBP.

*February 20, 2015: Left extruder working, right extruder not feeding properly.  
   −
August 3, 2014: Both extruders working, both nozzles replaced. Bed way out of level.
     −
June 30, 2014: <s>Missing one bed-leveling knurled nut.</s> (This is the normal state of the machine - the argument being that the bed is significantly easier to level with only three points. The newest machines from makerbot feature only three leveling points from the factory)
+
== Notes ==
 +
*Only 3 bed leveling nuts are installed because it is significantly easier to level with only three points. The newest machines from Makerbot feature only three leveling points from the factory.

*Both extruders working, but periodically jamming. See the "Clearing a Filament Jam" video on Makerbot's maintenance page for the Replicator . http://www.makerbot.com/support/replicator/documentation/maintenance/
