Replicator 2x

Note: This product is NOT reccomended for beginners. The filiments it uses are much more difficult to work with than other filaments.

The MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D printer makes solid, three-dimensional objects out of melted Makerbot Filament.Your 3D design files are translated into instructions for the MakerBot Replicator 2X and read by the machine via SD card or USB. The MakerBot Replicator 2X then heats the MakerBot Filament and squeezes it out through a nozzle onto a heated surface to build a solid object, layer by layer. This method is called Fused Filament Fabrication [FFF]

It is one of the most experimental of Makerbot Replicators with its innovated heated build platform and dual extruders. The heated platform allows for better temperature control throughout the printing process. The platform allows for builds with less sagging and more stability. The dual extruders are easy to load and swap out, and with its newly redesigned construction, allows for less stripping, skipping, and jamming. Not only are the new extruders efficient, they also allow for more than one color to be printed simultaneously. This model of Replicator also uses two types of filament unique to the X2, ABS filament and dissolvable filament.
