MakerBot
Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printer

Explore the frontiers of 3D printing

With a full-featured desktop 3D printer and experimental dual extrusion.

Dual Extrusion

Be Ready For The Cutting-edge

Add a new level of creativity to your 3D designs with two interlaced colors that you can print through precisely aligned dual nozzles—without swapping or pausing.

Optimized

For MakerBot ABS Filament

Make snaps, living hinges, threaded objects and more with a ductile, petroleum thermoplastic with elastic deformation properties. Control heating and cooling better with a superflat heated aluminum build plate and a clear, six-sided, draft-blocking enclosure that helps prevent uneven cooling, shrinking and cracking.

100-Micron

Layer Resolution

Speed your way to demonstrations and presentations with settings that range from fast-draft to finer resolution. Get smooth-to-the-touch surfaces that don’t need sanding, finishing or post-production.

Speed Your Way to New Designs

Accelerate the design process by prototyping right at your desk.

Quickly iterate to verify your designs and catch flaws sooner. Use your own physical models for collaboration and to bring better products to market, faster. Save money with the best price/performance in desktop 3D printing.

3D Design Community

MakerBot Thingiverse is the 3D design community for discovering, printing, and sharing 3D models. See the great 3D models created by Thingiverse super users – and share your own!

Rely on Sophisticated Software

Get fast and consistent results.

MakerBot Desktop is optimized for the best quality printing experience on your MakerBot Replicator 2X. It's powered by our advanced slicing engine, the algorithm that tells your MakerBot Replicator 2X what to make and how to make it.

• 01 Add File. Supports STL and OBJ Files - MakerBot Desktop works in tandem with your favorite 3D design tool.
• 02 Prepare. Push The Limits - Experiment with Advanced Dual Extrusion capabilities that allow you to set individual extruders to MakerBot ABS Filament or MakerBot Dissolvable Filament.
• 03 Preview & Make. Get Ready To Print - Test color possibilities, view individual layers and get estimates of time and materials. You can even see how support will be applied and how infill patterns will look.
