HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH PRECISION

MakerBot METHOD Extruders are built for high-speed printing without compromising part accuracy. The Model 1A Extruder is optimized for printing with model materials such as MakerBot PLA, Nylon, and Tough.

This is version 1.5 which includes a removable cap and set screw - allowing you to manually replace the nozzle and PTFE tube assembly to more easily and affordably extend your extruder's life.

FEATURES

• Smart sensors for material management and print protection
• Greater torque with a 19:1 dural-drive gear ratio
• Lengthened thermal core with less than 60-second heat up time
• Quick-release locking extruder mount for high stability printing and easy swapping
• Replaceable Nozzle and PTFE tube assembly
• 1-year expected lifetime based on typical usage

HIGH PRECISION INDUSTRIAL MATERIAL PRINTING

MakerBot METHOD Extruders are built for high-speed printing without compromising part accuracy. The Model 2XA Extruder is optimized for printing with RapidRinse and SR-30 - two ABS-compatible dissolvable support materials.

This is version 1.5 which includes a removable cap and set screw - allowing you to manually replace the nozzle and PTFE tube assembly to more easily and affordably extend your extruder's life.

FEATURES

Composite Extruder for METHOD

The Composite Extruder for Method brings all the benefits of printing Nylon Carbon Fiber Parts to the MakerBot Method 3D printer. Ideal for structural applications and metal replacement parts.

Strong, Heat-Resistant Metal Replacement Parts

Carbon fiber reinforced nylon is optimized for high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance making it ideal for structural applications and metal replacements.

• Excellent strength to weight ratio - 110 MPa TS - for lightweighting applications such as robotic end effectors

• Engineering-grade stiffness - 7600 MPa Tensile Modulus - for structural applications such as vehicular brackets and inspection gauges

• High heat resistance under load - 184°C HDT - for optimal under-hood and tooling applications

Superior Nylon Carbon Fiber Parts with METHOD

METHOD's unique industrial feature set produces carbon fiber parts with superior three dimensional strength and accuracy

• METHOD's Heated Chamber delivers parts that are strong and accuratey
• Outstanding surface finish that hides layer lines thanks to METHOD's Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame.
• Print the most complex geometries including internal cavities with soluble support, or use breakaway support for faster print times.
• METHOD's sealed filament bays help keep the material dry, resulting in better print quality and reliability, and METHOD's pre-print spool drying feature allows for the recovery of oversaturated filament.

Compatible with MakerBot Sketch Large, this pack includes two build plates for MakerBot Sketch Large 3D Printers. 

Item ships in with 2 week lead time.
