Has anyone who owns this machine used MakerWare to export code successfully to it?

I have used MakerWare to export .x3g files to it. It printed with no issue. I selected the Replicator (Dual) as the printer type. So far I have only printed using the SD card, but it also has the capability to print directly to the printer with a USB cable.

I just installed it on a windows 8.1 machine. It gave me an error the first time, I just re installed and it worked. Have not created a document with it yet as I don't have anything on there to print with yet.

I honestly have no idea. I've got mine programed into a laptop and a dell pc and have had no problems with either. So sorry I can't help you!!

No. I have tried several common ones just to try, but they didn't work. However, I love my machine ;-)

Yes, I am working with it and had no problems. I just installed it a few weeks ago, following the procedure in the manual, then the firmware was automatically updated and then connected to the computer with the drivers and apps previously installed from the cd. I printed from word, open office, gimp, illustrator, chrome, adobe reader, and all of them worked fine, I am using it with a usb cable but because I need to test large heavy graphics, but the speed when printing wireless was as fast as usb for letter size documents. The drivers are current. No compatibility problems or popups.

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

I have that software on my computer so when I scan and import it works. Are you wanting to use the printer as a stand alone unit that would scan something, process by ocr, and print it out without going through a computer? I don't think it would do that.....

Yes it is. It comes with many previous versions of the code preloaded into it as well. It is also upgradable for future code updates. Hope this helps.Ben

I have one running in an IBM T20. I is an IDE/PATA drive and works fine. Now the computer is not up to modern standards but it too is chugging along.

It is working with XPSP2 here. However, it first cuts about a 1" BLANK square before printing and cutting label?!! Will test with W7 to see if that happens. Also, you can copy the software to the HDD and run it from there.

I am returning my copy. It works with Windows 7 but no single project can be more than 20mg. It has great features but crashes and you cannot retrieve what you have created. It is a known defect, they told me they are working on it! They told me to try Print Shop 23.

The company provides a software Makerbot Makerware which can be download it for free at the company's website. In addition, I would recommend you download the open source program OpenSCAD (http://www.openscad.org/), since this program works with CAD objects. You can then export the files you generate from OpenSCAD to Makerware.

No, it does not. It exports in a particular form that needs to be converted to a form of your choice by you on your computer.

Sorry for the wait. It worked on everything I had or have. Go to the manufacturers site and see if u can download the pdf of all the codes and see if your stuff is on the list.

Try guide, menu or options. You pretty much have to keep hitting different buttons until you find the correct one. Also make sure that you are using the correct code. You can sometimes have several codes that work some what with the same machine and one that works better than the rest.

There is no means provided on the Boogie Board for exporting a file. I have not tried to copy the file on a copier, but that might be possible; however, with a black background and white text/lines, it might not print well.
