MakerBot Method 3D Printer

Description

Unmatched industrial build quality with a compact size that allows for desktop, benchtop, and racked setups. Compatible with PLA, PETG, nylon, and nylon carbon fiber, or plug in the LABS GEN 2 Experimental Extruder for 3rd party material printing. ClimateSeal™ Filament Bays protect materials from the elements bag to print with pristine quality. Safely print anywhere with Greenguard-certified MakerBot Clean Air™ Smart Filtration System.

MakerCare live training will take you seamlessly from unboxing to advanced printing. 5” capacitive touchscreen provides an intuitive step-by-step setup and real-time controls on your jobs. MakerBot CloudPrint™ software brings intuitive printing for even the toughest jobs. SmartAssist™ Material Loading makes material changing a breeze from material bay to extruder, hands-free. 4-in-1 Modular Performance Extruders allow for quick change between material groups, preventing cross-contamination. VECT™ 65 Thermal Regulation gives you 2X the dimensional accuracy in real polymers and composites.
