Hey @Steamby This motor is designed as a replacement for the Makerbot replicator, that’s why you can’t find any schematics or datasheet. Howerver, I’m pretty sure it is not intended to accept 12V and is drawing way too much current. Nema 17 motors are usually rated for under 4V per coil. Technical documentation and utilities for developers to extend the capabilities of MakerBot 3D printing solutions. For more information, see the MakerBot Labs website. For now, the following documentation is available.makerbot File Format - MakerBot equivalent of gcode.thing File Format - a container format for models and meta data. We focus on the case of MakerBot Industries, the leading maker of consumer 3D printers, with its unique value creation strategy. The firm was founded based on an open source hardware and software strategy — complemented by its Thingiverse open content community — and kept its user-generated content open even after it switched to proprietary.

MakerBot Print is free software that optimizes and streamlines the 3D printing process for any workflow. It allows you to discover, prepare, manage, and share 3D prints.
Import design files and fine-tune their settings for optimum results when printing.
Watch an animated preview or just the path your extruder will take to ensure that your print will come out as intended.
MinFill is a breakthrough print mode that saves you time and money by printing only the minimum supports inside your print. The greater the internal volume of your print, the more time and money you can save. Accelerate early concept modeling, form studies, and your iterative design process.
Streamline print preparation and file management by importing native CAD files, like assemblies and parts. Windows users can import and manipulate Native CAD files* while Mac users can import assemblies in STL format.
