Before installing MakerBot Print 3.0 and above, uninstall previous versions (Windows 7, 10).

Requires firmware version 2.0 or higher. For Replicator 2/2X, USB is not supported.

Due to makerbotdriver's dependency on our (Makerbot Industries) own version of pyserial, and for the sake of not polluting your own system that may have the 'true' version of pyserial installed, we suggest invoking makerbotdriver inside a virtualenv. MakerBot Print is our new desktop application that allows you to prepare, manage, and monitor 3D prints. Prepare: Import design files in native CAD and fine-tune their settings for optimal results when printing. If MakerBot Desktop crashes repeatedly when you’re in the Prepare tab, or if you’re experiencing issues with the graphics in the software, then your computer’s GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) may either not be OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) 2.1-capable, or the GPU’s driver software may need to be updated.
