As a MakerBot Authorized Service Partner<\/a> and Authorized Reseller Professional in Switzerland, 3D-EDU GmbH has the exclusive right to present the first MakerBot Method<\/a> in Switzerland. We received our demonstration device a few days ago and tested it straight away – but more on that later… <\/p>\n

You can now take a first look at the MakerBot Method in our showroom in Zurich<\/a>. You can also request an individual sample print from us. <\/p>\n

The MakerBot Method delivers what it promises<\/h2>\n

After a few years in the business, we have become somewhat critical when it comes to new devices. That’s why we were excited when we received our demo machine. Unpacking it was very easy. Which is more than could be said for placing the machine on our base: The MakerBot Method is quite heavy at around 30 kg. So it took two of us to lift it onto the plinth in the showroom. <\/p>\n

Afterwards, as usual with MakerBot, it continued to run smoothly. Once the machine was connected to the power supply, a setup program guided us conveniently through the installation process. Everything runs via the large 5” full color capacitive touch screen, which is extremely pleasant to use. The extruders are placed in the appropriate holder with clear instructions and illustrations. These are then calibrated automatically. The build plate is also measured and aligned. <\/p>\n

Here you can already see that this is no longer a “hobby device”, but a professional FDM 3D printer to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n

The MakerBot Method material<\/a> is supplied in sturdy, airtight and resealable zip bags. Once unpacked and placed in the filament shaft, the filament is automatically drawn in and transported to the extruder. There it is captured and extruded without any additional work. <\/p>\n

Finally, a first print is created to check whether the setup process was successful.<\/p>\n
