To use the filament you simply insert a spool into your printer and run the filament through a plastic tube. You then pre-heat the print head — a rectangular box that attaches magnetically to the robotic gantry inside the printer — and wait for the motor to kick in.
You can then lead the filament into the print head and wait until it starts extruding. The filament spool is hidden inside the printer itself and can be easily replaced with different colors. The new printer software allows you to select and print models from Thingiverse right from your mobile phone, a huge improvement over the previous versions of the app.
You can also print your own models from your computer. The desktop version of the app also offers more control over positioning and size. When the print is done the new print bed allows you to remove objects right from the plastic sheet.
Layer Height, also known as Print Resolution, changes the surface quality of a 3D print. Low resolution means the layers are thicker, objects print faster, and the surface quality is rougher. High resolution means the layers are thinner, objects print slower, and the surface is smoother. We suggest printing at our standard print quality. Follow these steps before printing: Attach your extruder and build plate to your MakerBot 3D Printer, then load the filament.

When it comes to FDM 3D printing, the toolhead or extruder is one of the most important features. Finding the right desktop 3D printer for your application can have a lot to do with materials. That's something you won't find on any other desktop 3D printer - go ahead and look, we'll wait. One of the dirty little secrets of dual-extrusion 3D printers is the frustration that can come with the manual calibration of the extruders on most desktop machines.
In short, humidity is not the friend of FDM 3D printers. METHOD utilizes dual material bays that are sealed from the outside environment to protect your filament from exposure to damaging humidity.
That, combined with desiccant in each Smart Spool, a protective mylar storage bag that comes with each Smart Spool, and the new Material Drying mode that allows you to revive old spools, allows METHOD to work reliably and accurately from the lab to factory floor.
Material loading on 3D printers can be a pain. Printer body stiffness translates directly into part reliability and precision. A RepRap is a self-replicating machine. The RepRap Project is an open source community project intended to spread the idea of home manufacturing to the masses.
It was among the first home 3D printers. It took a lot of trial and error to get their RepRap to work for even a few minutes. In those early months, they worked at NYC Resistor and often stayed up for days at a time, creating prototype after prototype. They wanted to launch at SXSW, and got the first prototype actually working at 8am on March 9, just two hours before their flight.
With their "trusty" prototype, they printed dodecahedron-shaped shotglasses at various bars around Austin for as many geeks as possible. Skip to main content. Getting Started with MakerBot by.
