THE MAKERBOT REPLICATOR MINI+ ACTION BUTTON
The Action Button allows you to control and manage the printing process on your MakerBot Replicator
Mini+. With the Action button, you can start, pause and cancel prints, as well as, begin or restart the
Guided Setup.
After you plug in and power on your MakerBot Replicator Mini+, the Action Button will flash in white. This
lets you know that the MakerBot Replicator Mini+ is starting up. Once the Action Button is solid white, the
MakerBot Replicator Mini+ is idle and ready for printing.
Initiate Guided Setup
While the Action button is solid white and idle, press and hold the Action Button for 4 seconds to begin
the First Run Experience of pairing and Wi-Fi setup. The Action button will flash white while setting up the
hotspot and then flash blue when broadcasting the hotspot.
Restart Guided Setup
If at any time you wish to restart the First Run Experience, press and hold the Action button when the
printer is idle, or during the First Run Experience. The Action button will flash white while setting up the
hotspot and then flash blue when broadcasting the hotspot.
Confirm Error
Sometimes, while printing, the printer may encounter an error. If you receive a printer error that does
not need your attention in order to continue the printing process, a short press of the Action button will
acknowledge the error.
If you receive a printer error that does require your confirmation to continue, press and hold the Action
button for 4 seconds to acknowledge the error and continue printing.
End Filament Loading
During the load filament process, press the Action button to cancel filament loading. Also, during the load
filament process, but before the extruder carriage motors engage and the extruder fully heats up, press the
Action button for 4 seconds to cancel filament loading.
Pause or Cancel Printing
During printing, the Action button is solid red. While the MakerBot Replicator Mini+ is printing, press the
Action button once to pause printing. With printing is paused, the Action button will glow solid blue. To
resume printing, simply press the Action button again. The Action button will change from solid blue to
solid red. To cancel printing, press and hold the Action button for 4 seconds while printing is paused.

To unload filament, press and hold the Action button for 4 seconds during the filament load process.
