Instal the last version for mac REPLIKATOR12/29/2023 M132 X Y Z A B (Recall stored home offsets for XYZAB axis) M92 X88.8 Y88.8 Z400 E101 sets steps per mm for replicator You can look up what this means and tweak it as needed (maybe you want the bed to drop lower at the end etc). This is necessary as for some reason by default heated bed info is sent, which makes the printer stop straight away. Add the custom GCode to the printer settings. The standard nozzle size is 0.4mm, and the compatible material diameter is 1.75mm.ĥ. We'll also check settings for "extruder 1". Make the Gcode flavour "makerbot", enable origin at center, disable heated bed, select build plate rectangular, and make the dimensions the following:Ĥ. Once you've added this printer, rename the printer to something like "Makerbot Replicator 2" (doesn't matter what), and go to "machine settings" for itģ. Click on non-networked printer, and select "Makerbot Replicator"Ģ. **I also assume that you've installed the X3GWriter plugin alreadyġ. **I'm using Cura 4.6 for my example, and this is specifically for the Replicator 2 - you may need to modify some things to make the 2X work** Ideally, Cura could come with a Replicator 2 profile, which I'll put time in to submit to the maintainers once I can understand how that's done, but for now here's my little how to: So if you've been trying to use Cura on your Replicator 2, and getting things that are the wrong size, you'll need to create or modify your profile for your printer. When we modify the standard printer definition for Replicator 1 that comes with Cura, it still passes "r1" to the X3Gwriter plugin, which makes it take on values for the Replicator 1 which results of course in incorrect print scaling. It turns out that the printer definition in Cura passes metadata to the plugins you use, and that his X3GWriter plugin was watching for the "machine_x3g_variant" value. With more time on my hands now I've had a closer look and spoken to the author of the X3GWriter plugin. I've posted previously about using Makerbot Replicator 2 3d printers with Cura, which involved hacking at the X3GWriter plugin, but was frankly a little hacky, and starts to cause problems when you update etc.
