Hello guys.

I need help, I bought a Geeetech Latest MK8 Dual Extruder in ebay, the product description says is compatible with makerbot. But when I try to plug and play no one of the cables or the chasis fit in my printer.

Some body install the part in past or give me guidance?

Thank you!

Have you updated your makerbot to the latest version?

Do you mean the plugs on the Geeetech don't match the Makerbot?

I think you have to make a different bracket to mount the dual extruders on the Makerbot. You can probably find one on thingiverse.com

As far as the plugs you may have to rewire them. The motors and heater are the same for almost every printer, some just have different plugs or pin orders.
