Our MakerBot is named 3D-PO and is a bog standard MakerBot 'Batch 5' Model. We print things.

Printing with 3D-PO

Each MakerBot is a bit difference, since they are hand assembled. This is a how to for our specific MakerBot

First time printers

1) Download 007 version of ReplicatorG from : http://code.google.com/p/replicatorg/downloads/list 2) Unzip or unpack the package 3) If you have not used a USB FTDI cable before (or don't know what one is) you need to install drivers for them. Go into the ReplicatorG/Drivers folder, and install the right driver (Intel or PPC, be careful) for an FTDI cable (a USB cable that connects to embeded devices, like MakerBot).
