Meet the M2, Made in the USA! - Great ideas are just the beginning...
The MakerGear M2 comes fully assembled and works right out of the box. It's no wonder why this amazing 3D printer is top rated . . . with its steel frame and cast aluminum construction, the M2 is engineered and manufactured here in the USA to provide industrial-level precision with a small footprint. The new four-point print bed is easy to level, stays level, and removes the need for z-compensation (aka "auto-leveling"). With its large 8 x 8 x 10 inch / 203 x 203 x 254 mm (H x W x D) build envelope, whether you are a professional or a weekend hobbyist, the M2 is built to run and built to last. The M2 uses any standard filament, including but not limited to: ABS, PLA, PET, and Flexible. The M2 also uses open-source electronics and firmware providing the versatility and flexibility you need to accomplish your project your way. The printer can be controlled via a USB cable (included) using the usual G-code numerical control instructions, or from a G-code instruction file stored on an SD memory card (included) which allows stand-alone operation. Perfect for schools, or when locating the printer away from your PC.
With numerous upgrade options and a highly rated support community, you can be confident that you'll be delighted with your M2 and its performance. The Quick Start software, step-by-step user guide, and tutorial video will take you from unboxing through your first prints.
