UTILITIES MENU
Run Startup Script. This entry launches
the startup script. The Startup Script runs
automatically the first time you power on
the MakerBot Replicator 2X. The Startup
Script walks you through the steps for
leveling your build plate, loading filament
into the right extruder, and printing from
the SD card. To exit the Startup Script,
press the left arrow button. You will not
be able to exit the Startup Script until the
leveling portion of the script begins.
Disable Steppers/Enable Steppers.
This entry allows you to toggle on and
off the stepper motors that move the
extruders and build platform. If you need
to manually move the build platform or
the extruders, you must first disable the
stepper motors.
Blink LEDs/Stop Blinking. This
entry allows you to toggle on and off
blinking. When toggled on, the LEDs in
the MakerBot Replicator 2X will start
blinking. When toggled off, the LEDs in the
MakerBot Replicator 2X will stop blinking.

Calibrate Nozzles. This entry launches
a script that allows the MakerBot
Replicator 2X to correctly locate the two
extruder nozzles. Use this script if your
dual extrusion prints don't appear to line
up correctly on the plate. The script will
print a series of lines with each nozzle
and ask you to choose the ones that line
up best. Your MakerBot Replicator 2X will
store that information and use it to make
your dual extrusion prints align better in
the future.
Exit Menu. This entry returns you to the
top-level menu.
