Do you need to jump back a version of Makerware?
Ok, so lets be honest here - sometimes we all wish we could go back in time and undo the Makerware upgrade. Especially when you discover that you HAVE to upgrade the firware to run the new file format, or you suddenly can not connect to your bot any more.
I feel the need to say that one of the things I love about Makerbot IS that they keep improving things like their firmware and software, but sometimes I wish they took a breath and tested a little longer, so we have listed the older versions here so you can go back a step and will try and list future updates here to - with dets about what is goiing to change BEFORE you update, so you can be a bit more "in the know" before you upgrade, and have the ablity to jump back.
To date we can not do this for the firmware, but we have a tool that lets you jump back a step - check out the solution :
