MakerBot Replicator liberated from Solidworks (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) with BOM!
Derived from
Description
I've downloaded the MakerBot Replicator and converted it to formats that are more portable between CAD systems. I think STEP would have been sufficient, but why not throw a few more out there too! If you're not sure, try STEP. But someone specifically asked for Parasolid, and I figured I'd throw in IGES too.
I also exported a simple Bill of Materials that looks like it will be a good start for people. Hint! if you see a part number like 91290A110 or similar, its a McMaster Carr part number. But you already knew that didn't you?
Of note - I looked at the export settings in hopes I've done it right, but I never use STEP or Parasolid so I'm not sure. Let me know if I messed it up!
Also of note, this includes the entire assembly for the dual MK7 extruders, so if you need those parts, they're in here!
One component is missing though. The file MP138-Type-K_Thermocouple_2.sldprt. You'd have to ask a man named Jack at MBI about that.
EDIT: Jack has been found! Missing part is here: thingiverse.com/thing:20348
Instructions
Convert to STL.

Gostaria que postasse se possível outro arquivo "Makerbot Replicador including canopy.STEP" pois o que se encontra está com um problema.
Aguardo resposta Alain9819 / Brasil
Hey i really want to biuld a Replicator and i have a laser cutter so that part i can do but for the other files found here im not sure what to do with them, the BOM that i can understand but the other things im LOST.
Please any advise? Or maybe point out a forum where i can understand a bit more
Is there anyone that is willing to build and sell the canopy for those that don't have access to laser cutters?
I would be very interested in acquiring vector-art (such as SVG) versions of the canopy parts. I do not have SolidWorks and I would really like to take the plans to a local cutter to get some windows for my new Replicator. Can anyone help?
Oh your so smart. I not sure I would have ever been able to think of these. Such originality. Your blog is fantastic so easy to follow and understand, you have left such logical commentary. Thanks so much.
This is great. I just added this BOM to kitbom.com -

Please feel free to proof and/or update!
Great job, this'll make the files more accessible to a lot of people.
I'll look into that missing component too. The specific part in question is the thermocouple we use to measure the heater block temperature. Its really just a placeholder in the Solidworks model and not the actual part.
Hah, yeah, its just always one of those silly issues I run into a lot with solidworks when people forget to include one of the files (I do it myself when I put some files in my dropbox and then download a screw from mcmaster and forget to take it out of the "downloads" folder on that computer).
So mostly I was poking a bit of fun at Jack or whoever forgot to properly export the assembly. ;)
Also, do you work at MBI? They should consider doing this for future releases. It would really benefit the community to have these files available in portable formats!
Thank you for making these files available to the rest of the us who don't use SolidWorks.

Very good job!
Could you share the solidworks file?
No need! I derived this from the original Solidworks files provided by Makerbot. Those are here:
