Utilities Menu - MakerBot Replicator 2X User Manual

UTILITIES MENU

The Utilities menu contains controls for your MakerBot Replicator 2X and scripts for
processes like loading filament and leveling the build plate.
Monitor Mode. This entry displays the
current temperature of your extruders and
build plate. The display is updated as the
temperatures change.
Change Filament. This entry launches
scripts that walk you through loading
and unloading filament. See Help Text in
the General Settings section below for
information on how to make the scripts
less verbose.
To cancel any of the Change Filament
scripts, press the left arrow button and
select "Yes" when prompted.
See page 28 for detailed instructions on
how to Change Filament.
Level Build Plate. This entry walks you
through the process for leveling the build
plate. The script moves the extruders to
different points on the plate and prompts
you to adjust the plate height at each point.
19 ONBOARD OPERATIONS
To cancel the Level Build Plate script,
press the left arrow button and select
"Yes" when prompted.
See page 26 for detailed instructions on
how to level the build plate.
Home Axes. This entry moves your build
platform and extruders to their default
positions.
Jog Mode. This entry allows you to
change the position of the build platform
and the extruders. Use the left and right
arrow buttons to select the X, Y, or Z-
axis, the up and down arrow buttons to
move your extruders or build platform
along the chosen axis, and the M button
to exit Jog Mode. Jogging the Z-axis will
move your platform up and down, and
jogging the X and Y-axes will move your
extruder right and left and backwards
and forwards, respectively.
