In this case, a Makerbot replicator is a 3D printer... They are the same thing just from different companies...

See this link for intro to 3D printing....

I don't use a replicator so I can't advise much but I do know that once I put my 3d printer in a box to block out drafts, I immediately see much better results against warping and such....

Ok, I'm new to all this. I am extremely interested in the technology of all of it, but like an infant coming into the world, I don't know much of anything.

Could someone tell me the difference between a replicator and 3d printer? I thought they were one in the same. :-O

I tried to print the box, but it shrinks and distorts while cooling. I made the GCode with RepG, and printed it with Replicator 1 (120° HBP and 230° for the extruder), cleaning the Kapton with rubbing alcool before.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance

No prob... Done it in sketchup. I've uploaded the source file "vbox.skp"... Edit away!

Very nice! How did you model it? Do you mind sharing the 'source' files, so that we can add names?

Yes, but it's quite minimal....

need support for the bow?
