PURPOSE:
The purpose of this guide is to assist the new user in getting the most out of their Replicator 2.
While some advanced concepts are mentioned (either out of necessity, or as avenues for further
exploration), the main goal is to help new users—who may have no prior 3D modeling or
printing experience—successfully explore the exciting world of 3D printing. Experienced users
may wish to skip the more introductory content covered in the ZERØ TO HERO sections.
Knowledge about the Replicator 2 grows daily as experience is rapidly gained by users. As a
result, communicating ALL current information in one place is inherently a fast-moving target;
yet the need for a reference guide for new users (even if incomplete) may be handy.
Feedback and suggestions for improvements are very much welcomed. Drop DigiFabLab a line
and let us know if this resource helped and/or how it can be improved.
