I don't have a MakerBot Replicator+ to verify with but, if this [Geetech wiki post](http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/Mighty_Board) is to be believed, MakerBot printers use their own own open source design called 'MightyBoard'.

@Dr.MantisTobbogan Thanks for the link, but that's for the original Replicator generation that was released around 2011. Since then MakerBot Industries has gone closed-source. The Replicator+ has its controls screwed shut and I'm afraid if I open it there might be some alignment issues, given the history of their frame designs...
