[[File:Makerbot-replicator-2-xl.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Makerbot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D printer]] ==Overview== The 4th Generation 3D printer from Makerbot. This printer introduces many advancements to Makerbot models including a steel frame, improved extruder design, and optimization for PLA filament. ==Release and Reception== The Replicator 2 was released in late 2012, marking a departure for MakerBot Industries from open-source to proprietary product offerings. Initial reception and anticipation for the Replicator 2 was very high among seasoned and new users alike. The new design is user friendly and is advertised to require very little technical knowledge to begin 3D printing. The Replicator 2 is a single head printer, using PLA filament -- a bio-based plastic -- to create prints. Some minor design weaknesses have marred the launch of this printer, but the majority of these issues can be fixed with some simple modifications. ==Printer Help and Reference== [[Replicator 2 Modifications]] [[Replicator 2 Troubleshooting]] OEM Parts List (create page) [[File:3D Printing with the Replicator 2 - Introduction (1 of 8)|thumb|left|670 px|Video Series on Replicator 2]] ==Specifications== PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS Without Spool: 19.1 x 12.8 x 14.7 in [49 x 32 x 38 cm] With Spool: 19.1 x 16.5 x 14.7 in [49 x 42 x 38 cm] Shipping Box: 23 x 21.5 x 17 in [59 x 55 x 43 cm] Weight: 25.4 lbs [11.5 kg] Shipping Weight: 37.0 lbs [16.8 kg] TEMPERATURE Ambient Operation Temperature: 15°—32° C [60°—90° F] Storage Temperature: 0°—32° C [32°—90° F] ELECTRICAL AC Input: 100—240V, ~2 amps,50—60 Hz Power Requirements: 24V DC @ 6.25 amps Connectivity: USB, SDcard [included] MECHANICAL Chassis: Powder coated steel Body: PVC Panels Build Platform: Acrylic XYZ Bearings: Wear-resistant, oil-infused bronze Stepper Motors: 1.8° step angle with 1/16 micro-stepping PRINTING Print Technology: Fused Filament Fabrication Build Volume: 11.2 L x 6.0 W x 6.1 H in [28.5 x 15.3 x 15.5 cm] Layer Resolution Settings: High: 100 microns [0.0039 in] Medium: 270 microns [0.0106 in] Low: 340 microns [0.0133 in] Positioning Precision: XY: 11 microns [0.0004 in]; Z: 2.5 microns [0.0001 in] Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm [0.069 in] Nozzle Diameter:0.4 mm [0.015 in] SOFTWARE Software Bundle: MakerWare™ Bundle 1.0.2 File Types: .stl, .obj, .thing Supported OSs: Windows (XP/7), Ubuntu Linux (10.04+), Mac OS X (10.6+)
