Every print is extruded with the right amount of filament, leading to top print quality. Smart filament travel management system enables smooth filament travel, no tangle, no break. Sanding After 3D Printing Our Specialty Large Format 3D Printing with PA6GF and PA6CF We have designed MAKEiT large format 3D printers to specialize in 3d printing PA6GF (Glass Fiber Nylon), and PA6CF (Carbon Fiber Nylon) filaments. These filaments are industrial grade, stiff and strong, highly heat resistant. There is 20% carbon fiber in PA6CF, and 25% glass fiber in the PA6GF blend. We regularly print these materials at 300C. Numerous car body plugs have been 3D printed out of PA6GF filaments. Some PA6CF parts have been installed on race car bodies. These materials are the best material to make car plugs, master molds, or end-use parts. You can sand them freely with a power sander. Unlike PLA, they don't melt, nor deform. They are durable, lightweight, stiff, strong, work with body fillers and epoxies too. Octoprint Custom Interface Ready to Perform For your convenience, a customized Octoprint interface is pre-installed on the on-board Raspberry Pi. We have modified major Octoprint functions, and made them as simple and functional as possible, to fit MAKEiT owner's needs. For example, the "bed calibration" function is just a click of the button. "Z Height, or nozzle-to-bed-distance" is part of on-the-fly adjustments that can be done real-time if needed while you start the first layer printing. This way you can dial in the right distance for your print before saving that info. Since Octoprint is an open-source interface, you are more than welcome to add your own flavor once you are familiar with MAKEiT printers.

Testimonials "I have used the MAKEiT 2x4 3D printer for a few years now. It is a capable and reliable printer. Having a large format printer is a game changer. Things that I would have never considered for 3d printing before are now just simple tasks. I no longer need to glue smaller prints together. That saves time, labor and aggravation. It also eliminates the need for secondary machining to correct misalignment and eliminate parting lines. I really like the ability to print multiple materials. It makes it very flexible especially when I have certain design criteria to meet. The 2x4 certainly opens up different opportunities that you normally would not have with a smaller 3D printer. One of the benefits of working with MAKEiT is that they are the manufacturer. They touch and work on each and every printer. It is not designed here, made there. They have the knowledge pertaining to their products. I can call and get a real person on the other end of the line. Their support is extraordinary. They truly stand behind their reputation as a quality manufacturer. When you buy a product from them, it is not just a purchase, it is more like a partnership. I definitely recommend MAKEiT any of your 3D printing needs." General Tool Co. Adam A. Chief Engineer of Additive Ai "The MAKEiT team has been excellent to work with. They support their printers when needed and the user group consists of top-notch individuals. I am very pleased with the quality of components used in the 2X4 printer. My company, “Additive Ai” successfully 3D scans – Designs – and Prints full size car components with a MAKEiT 2X4 Printer." "I used to 3D print large composite plugs in many, many small puzzle pieces to then spend hours joining together and furthermore sanding the seams between them. This process of printing multiple smaller pieces to make a large part was growing old. Furthermore, the lack of capabilities and reliability of my smaller 3D printers made projects take a lot longer to complete. It was becoming a roll of the dice as to whether or not deadlines could be met. Thus my search for a large format 3D printer began. When it came to large format 3D printers, there were few options available. It was very easy to find yourself receiving quotes for complicated 3D printers that started at $50,000 or MORE! There were some poorly designed and equipped DIY options (Modix) that initially seemed like something I would’ve unfortunately had to settle for but thankfully I found MAKEiT. The 2x4 large format 3D printer is something I can leave running on its own for DAYS without any worries. I’m printing so many of my plugs for composite mold making in one piece and dramatically cutting down the time it takes to get something to market. Additionally, I’m able to print so many automotive parts in a single go. My favorite thing about the 2x4 is that it can do all of this with any of the materials I throw at it thanks to the super capable print head. I VERY regularly print nylon PA6-GF for so many of my large parts without a single worry of a dreaded print failure. Although the printer is truly in its own class, the staff at MAKEiT, Inc. are the true reason you should be buying this brand. Shelley and Salomo are always there ready to help with anything print profile-related and have come out to my office multiple times to help me troubleshoot issues. It is awesome to learn about the printer directly from the person who designed it. Learned a lot about how they continue to improve the product to ensure the best user experience. Salomo is a true genius in his field. Give them a call, BUY A PRINTER, you will not regret it. Perfect for any company that is expanding their R&D facility or makers who are looking to scale their project capabilities for more business opportunities."
