We recently added a Replicator 2X from MakerBot to our prototyping arsenal. I definitely like the more refined chassis of this 3D printer and the build area increase is fantastic. I selected the 2X because we often like to work in ABS and the Replicator 2 is only capable of printing PLA. To quickly test the printer, I like to use a chair I designed in Solidworks as a quick evaluation of quality. There are some subtle filets, chamfers, and overhangs that are often difficult to print correctly. With the exception of some warping due to a temperature gradient on our print bed, the chair came out great. I’m really looking forward to putting this machine through its paces.
