Makerbot Replicator 2X 3D Printer

The Makerbot Replicator 2X 3D Printer is great for:

The Replicator 2X explores everything possible in desktop 3D printing today and makes sure you’re future-proof for developments just over the horizon.

Super flat heated build plate optimized for ABS

• Get prints that stick: high-tolerance aluminum build plate is machined for crucial flatness to prevent warping or sagging that can affect print quality.
• Build plate is anodized for longevity and durability.
• Surface tape comes cut-to-size for smooth, hassle-free application.
• Better temperature control keeps build plate heated precisely & evenly throughout.
• Now in sleek MakerBot black.

Completely Re-engineered easy-load extruder

• New easy-load filament lever makes loading filament as easy as flipping a light switch.
• Re-designed filament feeding system dramatically reduces stripping, skipping, and  jamming.
• Constant force filament feeding system has no parts to wear out or need adjustment.
• New thermal core design stablizes internal temperature for more reliable prints.
• Less maintenance and more uptime.

Dare to “Dual”: Dual Extrusion 3D printing

Add a new level of creativity to your 3D design with interlaced colours.

• Precisely aligned dual nozzles give perfect prints in one or two colours.
• Updates in MakerWare make it easier to generate dual extrusion prints.
• Firmware improvements reduce filament reversal, retraction & over-run, meaning more definition between colours

Six-sided enclosure for stabilized ABS cooling

• Enclosed sides block drafts and stabilize the ABS cooling period for less cracking and peeling.
• Magnetic lid snaps on and off for easy access.
• Clear-view top and sides let you monitor your progress.
• Friction hinge door stays where you put it for easy print retrieval.
• Magnetic latches keep small hands safe from hot components, at home and at school.

Everything you expect from a MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer including 100-micron layer-height resolution

• Industrial-strength, steel frame provides stability during high-speed printing.
• 3-point build platform leveling that adjusts quickly.
• Wear-resistant, oil-infused brass bearings for less maintenance.
• Using MakerBot MakerWare, you can experiment with layer height resolutions much    finer than 100 microns.
• Designed to look awesome in your office or on your work bench.

MakerBot MakerWare 

• New improvements to the MakerBot slicing engine make it even faster & more accurate.
• Prepare your 3D models for printing using a comfortable, intuitive interface.
• Drag and drop multiple 3D models, and automatically arrange them on the virtual build platform.
• MakerBot Firmware enables improved, smoother acceleration to generate finer detail with less vibration.
• Create and save as many custom print setting profiles as you want.
• Save projects as .thing files.
• Compatible with .stl and .obj files; Mac/Linux/Windows
