Designed for complex 3D printing needs, theMakerBot METHOD X 3D Printer Carbon Fiber Editionis bridging the gap between consumer and industrial 3D printing. This particular Carbon Fiber Edition retains all the features of the standard METHOD X model but includes all the materials needed to use carbon fiber materials, making this the ideal printer for those looking to create engineering-grade composite parts.

It features a Dual Performance Extruder system, utilizing the included MakerBot and Support 2XA Extruders. Combined with the 212°F (100°C) enclosed build chamber, which circulates the heat, the METHOD X can print a wide variety of complex and durable ABS parts. The METHOD X is also compatible with ASA, PLA, and PETG filaments. For support filaments, the METHOD X can use PVA, SR-30, and carbon fiber filaments. The METHOD X features a metal frame that runs the entire length of the body to offset flexing. Combined with the spring steel build plate, the METHOD X provides a true flat surface for better part accuracy and a reduced chance of failure. There are also two dry-sealed material bays at the base of the METHOD X to store your filaments in optimal conditions. The 5\" display has a 640 x 480 resolution and supports touchscreen controls. You\'ll be able to navigate menus and settings as well as monitor your print jobs. The METHOD X allows you to print via 10/100 Mb/s Fast Ethernet RJ45 LAN, USB 2.0 Type-A, and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n).

Note: MakerBot materials are sold separately. Removal of SR-30 support material requires Circulation Tank and Ecoworks cleaning agent, available from third-party resellers. For more information, please visit MakerBot\'s official website.

Carbon Fiber EditionDesigned to utilize the strength and rigidity of high-density carbon fiber materials, the METHOD X Carbon Fiber Edition includes the proper extruders and components needed to print high-quality components.Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame ConstructionThe METHOD X features a structurally optimized metal frame that runs the full length of the body to offset flexing. Less flexing means more consistent prints with better part accuracy and fewer failures.Circulating Heated Build ChamberThe enclosed build chamber can reach up to 212°F (100°C). Control the temperature and quality of every layer. While heated build plates are effective at reducing warping, the METHOD X takes it further with full active heat immersion during the entire duration of the print.Dual Performance ExtrudersThe Dual Performance Extruder system accelerates print times and provides dimensional accuracy across every part. Each Performance Extruder contains a suite of sensors that detect when material is running low and allows for active jam detection during the entire print duration. The system also has more torque with a 19:1 dual-drive gear ratio, which keeps materials loaded and ready for reliable material extrusion at every layer. The lengthened thermal core has a fast start-up time, heating up in less than 60 seconds.Dry-Sealed Material Bays
