MakerBot in the Wild – 133

133

Did not do much for modding, but did add some 5mm neoprene between (X/Y) steppers and housing, and on the rod covers/caps to reduce the ratlle, noise and vibrations. That did help quit a bit. No upgrade done to prevent some of the extruder issues/squeeking, but that is planned. Running ReplicatorG 0005, shipped firmware on an Ubuntu AMD64 machine.

Wow, awesome color scheme on Makerbot 133.

    How did you preserve the MakerBot Industries lettering? I was just about to put some primer on mine, but then realized I’d loose all the markings including the front lettering and serial number…
