You’ll know this because if you have a Replicator 2 and you try to print an object, it’ll keep printing larger than it should be. There seems to be a problem with X3GWriter in that with the above setup it always detects the machine to be a replicator 1, which is a problem as they have different amounts of steps per mm. Step 4: Modify X3GWriter so that it always detects “Replicator 2” Go to the “Marketplace” button at the top right of your Cura window and in the marketplace search for “X3GWriter” and install it. This of course all assumes you don’t have a heated bed (also makes sure it doesn’t send heated bed commands which make the machine complain). G130 X127 Y127 A127 B127 (Set Stepper motor Vref to defaults) G130 X0 Y0 A0 B0 (Set Stepper motor Vref to lower value while heating) M132 X Y Z A B (Recall stored home offsets for XYZAB axis) this next line won’t work, but has the steps command

You’ll need some custom Gcode so here it is (picked from various places and organised after some testing). I also renamed the machine name to “Replicator 2” just so I would remember.

I chose Makerbot Replicator from the printers page, and made a couple of changes to the settings: First up, I’m using it in Ubuntu Linux (18.04) so locations of files might need to be changed for your config files as needed.
