SOLUTION
You may not be logged into your MakerBot
account. These features are accessible only when
you are logged in. If you are logged into your
MakerBot account but are still unable to access
the Library, Store, and Explore sections, your
computer may not be connected to the internet.
Make sure you have selected your MakerBot
Replicator Mini as the printer you want to
connect to in MakerBot Desktop. Go to
Devices > Connect to a New Device, and
select your MakerBot Replicator Mini from the
list of available networked printers.
While the Smart Extruder is attached to the
extruder carriage, click Attach Smart Extruder
in the print monitor panel in MakerBot Desktop.
If MakerBot Desktop still displays a message
that the Smart Extruder is not attached,
physically detach it, reattach it, and click
Attach Smart Extruder.
Use the power switch at the back left of the
MakerBot Replicator Mini to turn it off. Always
wait until the Smart Extruder has cooled to
50° C before powering down.
