SAVING AND PRINTING A FILE
SAVING YOUR MODEL AND
TOOLPATH FILES
To save an object or a plate with multiple
objects, click the Save button.
The Save dialog gives you the option to save
the contents of the build plate as an STL or
Thing file.
• If you want to open the le in an application
other than MakerWare, you should save the
file as an STL file. If you save as an STL file,
you can no longer manipulate each object
separately in MakerWare.
• If you save as a Thing le, you will be
able to open the file in MakerWare and
manipulate each object independently.
However, Thing files can be opened only
with MakerWare.
NOTE: You can always change the file type by
opening the file in MakerWare and saving it again as
a dierent file type.
PRINTING YOUR FILE
1. Insert your SD card into an SD card reader
attached to your computer.
2 . Click the Make button.

Export! Button. MakerWare will open the

• Ensure that X3G is selected from the le

5. Click Save.
6. Eject your SD card from your computer’s
SD card reader and insert it into the SD
card port behind the MakerBot Replicator
2X’s LCD interface.

from SD”. Press the M button to view the
list of files available on your SD card.
