Users may print their compatible CAD (.cad), STL (.stl), MakerBot (.makerbot), SolidWorks (.sldprt, .sldasm), InventorOBJ (.ipt, .iam), IGES (.iges, .igs), STEP AP203/214 (.step, .stp), CATIA (.CATPart, .CATProduct), Wavefront Object (.obj), Unigraphics/NX (.prt), Solid Edge (.par, .asm), ProE/Creo (.prt, .asm), VRML (.wrl), and Parasolid (.x_t, .x_b) files in an open print chamber via 10/100 Ethernet, Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), or USB 2.0. The print bed itself is factory-leveled and constructed using a grip surface with a bendable Flex Build Plate.
The MakerBot Replicator+ is Cloud-enabled, allowing you to control and manage one or more printers over the cloud using MakerBot Print or MakerBot Mobile software. It can also be controlled using a built-in dial and an integrated LCD display, each of which allow you to maintain your 3D printer, preview print files, and access your object library. There is also a built-in 640 x 480 camera and this 3D printer operates using 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. It is compatible with Windows 7 and 10 and Mac OS X 10.9 and later. Included is a MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder+, a large MakerBot filament spool, a USB 2.0 Type-B to Type-A cable, a 4mm hex key, and a power cord.
The Replicator Z18 3D Printer from MakerBot allows you to print large, detailed objects up to 12" in width and depth, and up to 18" in height. To ensure accurate printing and to minimize warping even throughout lengthy print jobs, the Z18 features a heated build chamber to maintain a consistent temperature, and a polycarbonate ABS build plate that is factory and resistant to temperature extremes.
For on-board control of your printer, the Z18 features a 3.5" full-color LCD display and intuitive dial. Access your object library, see previews of your 3D model files, and employ utilities to set up and maintain your 3D printer.
The Z18 incorporates an on-board 320 x 240 camera for print monitoring and sharing to MakerBot Thingiverse and social networks. Accessible from the MakerBot Print software and MakerBot Mobile App, the Replicator Z18 also automatically takes reference pictures of final prints and stores them in your cloud storage library.
Free downloadable software, MakerBot Print, helps you find, organize, and prepare your 3D files for printing. Send files to your Replicator Z18 over a USB or Ethernet cable, or insert a USB flash drive with your file directly into the printer. The Z18 is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux computers.
Built for simple, accessible, and reliable desktop 3D printing, the Replicator Mini+ 3D Printer from MakerBot prints up to 10% faster than is predecessor and offers a 28% larger build volume. For improved reliability and precision, it features upgraded hardware, such as a redesigned Z-stage and gantry. It has also been tested for over 380,000 hours of use. It is constructed using PC ABS with powder-coated steel reinforcements.
The Replicator Mini+ features a build volume of 4.0 x 5.0 x 5.0"; a cubic build volume of 98 in3; a layer resolution of 100-400 microns; Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printing technology that is compatible with Smart Extruder+ units; uses 1.75mm MakerBot PLA small spool filaments; has a 1.8° step angle with 1/16 micro-stepping; 11 micron XY positioning precision; 2.5 micron Z positioning precision; and is equipped with a single 0.4mm extruder nozzle. Users may print their compatible CAD (.cad), STL (.stl), MakerBot (.makerbot), SolidWorks (.sldprt, .sldasm), InventorOBJ (.ipt, .iam), IGES (.iges, .igs), STEP AP203/214 (.step, .stp), CATIA (.CATPart, .CATProduct), Wavefront Object (.obj), Unigraphics/NX (.prt), Solid Edge (.par, .asm), ProE/Creo (.prt, .asm), VRML (.wrl), and Parasolid (.x_t, .x_b) files in an open print chamber via 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi or USB 2.0.

This 10-pack of 1.75mm PLA Filament from MakerBot contains one small, 0.5 lb spool of each MakerBot True Color filament - True Red, True Orange, True Yellow, True Green, True Blue, True Purple, True Black, True White, Cool Gray, and Warm Gray.
This filament is designed for use with the MakerBot Mini 3D Printer. Since PLA, or polylactic acid, is a bioplastic derived from corn, it doesn't emit toxic fumes when melted in the course of 3D printing.
Create durable, high-impact strength prototypes and fixtures with the Tough PLA Filament Bundle from MakerBot. It includes three spools of slate gray 1.75mm Tough PLA Filament and the Tough PLA Smart Extruder+. MakerBot's Tough PLA Filament is similar to ABS in its tensile, impact, and flexural strength, yet warps less than ABS and offers greater durability than PLA, yet retains the printing reliability of PLA, allowing it to flex more before it breaks. This filament has been optimized for use with the swappable MakerBot Tough PLA Smart Extruder+.
