Starting the print

To start a print on the Replicator 2 you will first need an SD card to upload your files to the printer. These can be requested from the front desk after you sign out a printer. For the replicator 2 the slicer to use is MakerBot Print. Once you have your model sliced in MakerBot Print, insert the SD card into your computer. This should add the option to "save to removable disk" ad the bottom left of MakerBot Print. Once your file is on the SD card go to the printer and insert the card. If the machine is on, used the buttons until "print" is highlighted, then push the select button. This will open the SD card and from this menu you can choose your file. To chose, press the button again and the printer will heat up and start printing.
