Love your enthusiasm when it is printing out the first few objects. Great vid man!!

Thanks for your video - was a joy to see all your steps. I ordered the rep2 two weeks ago, and can wait to get my hands on it!

Thank you very much Michael for posting these informative and very interesting clips. Highly appreciated.

Very interesting, Michael. I appreciate you taking the time to do this video for us. A friend is using a much smaller (in size) unit to make scale model structures of specific railroad buildings and is selling them to fellow model railroaders. I got to watch him make a couple of them just a few weeks ago. I can see that the prices are already coming down on these when I see what your's is going for now compared to his just in the last year. What a great machine to have!! Best, Andy

Very good review and demo, thanks!

fantastic unboxing!

great video. very informative for a potential buyer. thanks for the upload!

Cool video, great filming job.

This was my first video I’ve ever watched about 3d printing. I was 6 when I watched this video and I actually got my very first 3D printer in 2016, the replicator +

Definitely a must have for the home inventor. You can print anything, from old antique parts no longer in production, to AR-15 receivers. That printed chain was awesome.

Absolutely! I LOVE Mine

The chain links were absolutely amazing!

Its a good investment, I have been using mine like crazy. RC airplane/ car hobbyists, model builders, etc will have a field day with it.

Thanks for sharing. Show me how 3d printers works. Is amazing this technology is available for general public now!

GREAT JOB !

That really cool! I got the same braclet (but red) from a guy selling them at a church event! I love it! so amazing!

Very interesting video. Thanks !

Hmm... this really is cool, expecially that it doesn't need "construction" material to make hard angles and such. This is nice!

Im surprised how easy it is to use. Pretty simple & straightforward.

the first time I saw someone being happy with plastic :D

I cannot wait to see all of the possible replicas of things that are possible now. Really wish I can get one sometime soon.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Can't wait for mine! Doing a Raspberry Pi project...

Thanks for sharing! I posted it on my blog. Truly amazing!

Always been interested in buying one of those since I saw them at CES 2-3 years ago.

getting mine in 2 weeks the same as yours and i got loads of glow in the dark

I see it now and agree. Anyone who does hobby modeling would love this thing. You can basically print up your own trees, jets, buildings, soldiers, weapons, accessories, that dang ninja sword I lost from my Storm Shadow action figure when I was 9. Pretty much anything they want/need, should be able to design, print up and sell no problemo.

hey i also just got my 3d printer a solidoodle 2. Im younger with not as much money so i know its not as good but im impressed, with only a few adjustments such as leveling, kapton tape, and messing around with the program i've got very quality prints i hope you get the same results!

Nice video, any idea on the power consumption? And overall how noise it's? Thanks

Incredible

We will see- I am already designing camera accessories and have already started selling them. Video on this coming soon!

Just got one for 700€ with 9 spools :). Nice video! Thanks for sharing

OMG I WANT ONE!!

How durable is the plastic once cooled? Is it industrial grade plastic, like really hard to break if it's about a centimeter thick?

dose the botem of the object always be flat or could you make a round object with no flat serfis like idk lets jsut say i gess a ball or cfear liek oject or no ose it have to be object with a flat bottem?

hello ,i have design a model car in catia v5 as this one aston martin..and i want to print it on 1:18 scale at a 3d printer ( makerboot replicator 2x ) ..but i think there is a problem..i have design the surfaces without offset them..i mean, the surfaces have not thick ( extruded) and now i can not change the project,so i dont know if the printer can print it .maybe there is not problem but i'm not sure..please if you have any idea help me..thank you!

There was already one on the platform. Thanks!

If the software is compatible...yes!

I plan on printing some cool stuff directly related to photography. Printed my first lens cap this afternoon!

I remember when we got our first microwave too. We sat around cooking potatoes for hours. Was insane.

@michaelthementor how long does it take to make the bracelet? Also one more question. How much plastic does it use to make a bracelet or something of that nature?

Man that is so awesome. 3D Printing is a lot of fun. What program are you using to design?

21:33 they print out some of the package materials like the strap blocks that you can see at 1:47 with the printer to quality test before shipping. So other colors may come out as mine was purple and black when I first fed my plastic through.

I love how the machine is helping through the setup process! Very cool machine! The price is still too high though...

the reason for the the objects to get rough look is the plastic was not cooled properly you need bigger fans the size of the ones in your pc motherboard two of them placed on top of the plastic cooling while building if you install them then print you'll see a big difference hopefully,

also a question what temperature do you heat your print bed to? in celcuis

so cool. Soon we'll see companies like HP, Brother, Cannon, Epson puting out 3d printers.

Looks very professional and really well built. Mine just looks pretty shit now lol.

Brilliant video - Hopefully you see this but how strong was the plastic? For example, the link you printed, was it strong enough to resist a strong pulling force? Many thanks!

The final products are pretty strong, the denser and more layers of plastic, the stronger they are. Its about what you could expect from standard ABS plastic, perhaps a little less.

guys any idea which micro controller they use in this printer

I have a bunch of custom photography gadgets Ive been meaning to make. Im already designing the first and hoping to have a prototype finished today or tomorrow. Keep an eye on my blog for details!

Finally got my lid yesterday. It seems to help the prints stay flat

i had nothing but problems with my 2x was a real let down after waiting 3 months for it! then waiting a month and half for Makerbot to get me replacement parts! hope you dont have the problems i did!

MichaelTheMentor have you only used makerbot filament ? is generic filament recommended ?

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!!!!!!

I want one for my projects.

MichaelTheMentor That's really amazing but i was wondering if this printer is able to print jewellery such as rings, i mean is the resolution high enough in order to do so? i intend to buy one just for making jewellery, is either this model or the replicator mini, what do you think? Thank you for any help you can provide.

It's only able to print in plastic but yes you can make jewellery with it

It's like freaking Christmas morning! LOL... I'm watching this with excitement about everything that you open. What filaments do you recommend? Any good deals?

Hello. What program did you start to study for 3D? Thx

when printing do you have to use both printer heads or can you use just the one

@PDJazzHands

it uses the small one for edges and the large one for filling gaps to speed up the process, its automatic, but you can choose

Very nice demo. I got the Duplicator 4, a knockoff of what you have there. Runs exactly the same, but the Duplicator has a bit more power in the power supply, which is a 750W Mean Well, underneath the lower platform. I like the BenchMade Tanto auto also... I had that until my ex-wife stole my two, along with my tear gas pen, from me. ReplicatorG is the ticket from .stl to gcode/binary.

May I ask how crazy compared to pre-3D-printer era in your house?

Just as a warning for anyone that did not get their lid stuff will still print but it does help with the lid once it is on. small objects and rafting helps.

You can print the parts for reprap types of printers - self replicating actually, so those pieces that appear to be 3d printed most likely are created that way. Be sure to check out the ThingaVerse site for some shareable 3d printer items you can download and print. I wish I could get one.

can a person with no experience use it such as my self....just byy getting files from the net and printing

Can you also use metal instead of plastic?

what is the biggest thing you can build on there or make? and how many feet of the wire of spool is used lets say to make that dragon ,in other words how many dragons can be made before the spool runs out,,thank you well be excited also when I get mine in march ,,cant wait thank you

are you going to do the 3d printing on camera

I received my makerbot 2x on May 10, 2013 and I have still not received my lid. This is crazy!

Don't you have anything that will help prevent your creation from sticking to the buildplate?

You can traditionally sculpt items, and then take many photos of an item and upload them to a site to get a 3d printable file.

Tinkercad is all I use now, it is incredibly easy and intuitive. I use it everyday

Ill be posting updated images on my Instagram "michaelthemaven". Already have the cap posted there. :)

Lets just say its crazy.

I just saw a video on wimp.com called 3d printing mechanical hands. I'm pretty sure it's the same printer you have, it's pretty life changing.

Are you able to assign a static IP address to it?

Remember those plastic sheets you took out during the unboxing, you forgot to put them on the platform before you started printing, that's why they kept getting stuck to the platform.

"You go makerbot" :)

nice knife

I'd say to look into SolidWorks for 3D modeling. Great video though.

Also, how do the MakerBot 2 and the MakerBot 2x differ?

The Replicator 2 has only one extruder and can only print in PLA but the Replicator 2X has 2 extruders and can print in both PLA and ABS plastic.

*Fantastic Video!* Although, may I offer a bit of constructive criticism as a formally trained photographer? Almost all the the video was *slightly* out of focus, it just lacked the kind of sharpness you'd expect on a compressed 1080p stream. If the RAW video is *clear* and *sharp*, than perhaps maybe trying compress it again (with another codec if need be) to increase overall quality. Thanks for making this video! I enjoyed it VERY MUCH! This Machine fascinates me very much and so far *your* video is the *best*. *PERHAPS IT WOULD BE REASONABLE TO MAKE A 2.0 VERSION! Especially with more 5000k (daylight) lighting*. It'll add a very professional "touch" to your videos if you have proper 5000k (daytime) studio lights (even if they are cheap - hell you can even use lamps with 5k bulbs!) You just earned yourself another subscriber!

It should be so smooth at the bottom, you should calibrate it better, this would fit better quality,too

Micheal I'm a young inventor, engineer and graphic/interrior design artist but I know I done have the type of funds to afford a 3D printer all I want to know is what type of job or career you have to have been able to afford it if there's anything not explained in the video I should know?

You can just buy cheaper ones that require more technical skills. I got the printrbot Simple metal and with a good calibration, the quality of the prints match with prints from makerbot. Makerbot is for beginners who don't want to mess with the hardware and its complications.

dust ! OH MY GOSH

Well now I know the printer I got for free is 11 years old and I wonder why I have trouble trying to get it to print correctly. Replicator 2 base model has the worst plastic 3 adjustment print bed. It doesn’t even heat up a bit and is very flimsy.

3d printer = New Kid toy
