Namely that it slices very slowly (can take hours in some cases), and while you can make custom profiles (which I use), it’s clunky editing a text file (I shouldn’t really complain about that, considering how much programming work I do).

I’ve found success with it, and really only have a few complaints. When Makerware (now Makerbot Desktop) was released I switched to it, and never looked back. I used ReplicatorG as my slicer, since that was the primary option at the time. I started 3d printing in March of 2012 on my Makerbot Replicator (1).

Even though I have all my stepper voltages tuned in, my Bowden extruder stepper was still getting pretty warm after about an hour, so I pointed a fan at it.

Once I bolt the printer down to the table it’s on, it should help lessen the vibration that comes from all that moving mass up on top, and get better quality.

And the cooling fan I have on my Rep1 has around 8cfm.

I’m happy with the print quality, but I can see where the neck narrows how the filament isn’t being cooled enough (gets slightly lumpier compared to the larger base): I have a pair of 20cfm fans on order to see if this helps: My current fans are around 4cfm each, which isn’t nearly enough considering this machine easily pushes out 3x the volume of material compared to my Replicator1, at a higher temp.

Adding a floor would have definitely pushed the time up.
