Step 2. Create association of MakerBot with MAKERBOT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MAKERBOT file still does not use the MakerBot program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MAKERBOT file with the MakerBot program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MAKERBOT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The MAKERBOT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MAKERBOT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MAKERBOT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MAKERBOT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MAKERBOT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MAKERBOT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MAKERBOT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MAKERBOT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MAKERBOT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
