Makerbot replicator (CTC) Auto Shutdown

thingiverse

I adore my Makerbot Replicator clone (CTC), but one of its glaring shortcomings is a lack of auto shutdown. In my view, the auto shutdown option is absolutely essential. I frequently engage in long prints that sometimes stretch late into the night, and I want to retire to bed without worrying about my printer chugging along for most of the evening after the print has completed. As I searched for a solution, I discovered how others have successfully implemented this feature, but I conceived what I believe to be an even better and more straightforward approach. And the materials required will cost you under $5. Full instructions can be found here: https://www.instructables.com/id/Makerbot-Replicator-Dual-Auto-Shutdown/
