The swappable MakerBot Replicator 5th-Gen/Z18 Smart Extruder+ improves upon the previous iteration of MakerBot Extruders by delivering enhanced connectivity between the Extruder and the 3D printer, improved homing, reduced instances of filament clogging, and fewer filament jams-all of which translates to improved reliability, longevity, and overall performance.
The Smart Extruder+ minimises downtime by enabling you to replace a worn extruder in minutes. Its modular design lets you plan for the natural wear common to 3D printing extruders. By keeping a spare Smart Extruder+ handy, you'll be able to save time and keep the production flowing.
