MakerGear M2 3D Printer - MakerGear™

    • We know that high precision print quality, especially over time, can’t exist without high-quality components. When you combine these components with our Made in the USA quality, it's easy to see why we are regarded as the top choice for industrial-level precision at an affordable price.

      Additionally, we have made this durable machine completely modular, so that maintenance is a breeze — this means less time troubleshooting, more time innovating.

      With our outstanding customer support and amazingly consistent reviews, you can be confident that you'll be delighted with your M2 and its performance.

      M2s are in stock and ready to ship!
      (Refurbished M2s are also in stock and ready to ship.)

    • The M2 was originally released in 2012. MakerGear has continued to improve it based on real-world feedback and is now shipping the M2 Rev. E. (M2e), the fifth generation of the M2 series.

      The M2 Revision E includes a number of improvements including the new, easy to adjust yet more rigid, four-point leveling system, metal components that replaced printed parts, QuickStart software, Tutorial video, and updated User Guide. Open the box, follow the instructions, and beautiful prints will soon follow.

      Reliability: With its steel frame and CNC machined cast aluminum construction, the M2 is engineered and manufactured 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”). Whether you are a professional or a weekend hobbyist, the M2 is built to run and built to last.

      Freedom: While MakerGear filament is recommended, you are free to use the filament of your choice. The M2 also uses open-source electronics and firmware. The M2 provides the versatility and flexibility you need to accomplish your project your way.

      Ready to Use: Every M2 is tested at the MakerGear factory in Beachwood, Ohio, and is ready to use out of the box. The QuickStart software, step-by-step user guide, and tutorial video will take you from unboxing through your first prints.

      The Real Deal: With it’s ease of use, reliability, excellent prints, high-quality construction and components, and MakerGear’s prompt in-house support from M2 experts, you really do get it all with the MakerGear M2.

3D Printer Manufacturers: Quality 3D Printers

3D Printer Manufacturers

If you are interested in 3D printing and want to buy your own 3D printer, you might be wondering which 3D printer manufacturers are out there. In this article, we will try to answer this question in as much detail as possible and list the existing manufacturers.

Of course, it makes no sense to talk about all the developers, because there are a lot of them. Manufacturers of 3D printers today are divided not only by the type of technology used by their devices, but also by the class of devices. nine0005

In general, all 3D printer manufacturers can be divided into three groups:

  • Professionals. They produce the highest quality equipment, including industrial ones. The cost of their goods, respectively, is significantly higher than the average market prices, but the buyer pays not only for the brand, but also for reliability;
  • Middle segment. The vast majority of 3D printer manufacturers fall into this category. These are companies that have already established themselves in the market, but have not yet reached a certain point. It produces good quality products at an affordable price; nine0012
  • Start-up producers. Basically, these are young enthusiastic developers who are eager to bring their product into circulation. It is possible that their products can be quite good, but often such 3D printers are very raw and unfinished.

Other questions and answers about 3D printers and 3D printing:

Quality 3D printer

Of course, if you want to buy your own device for 3D printing, you want to buy the highest quality 3D printer. But what if all the manufacturers of 3D printers are touting their products? How to decide? Let's figure it out. nine0005

First of all, you should trust only proven equipment developers. See which 3D printer manufacturers have been on the market for a long time and what they offer.

Secondly, analyze the proposed options. Compare prices and features of 3D printers, see reviews. It is also a good option to get professional advice from distributors. For example, in 3DDevice you will always be helped to make a choice.

Popular 3D printers

In order to bring some clarity and help you make your choice, it is worth mentioning the most popular 3D printers. Well-known 3D printer manufacturers such as Stratasys, 3D Systems, MakerBot, Formlabs, CreatBot, Ultimaker offer good options and the market is flooded with their products. The advantage of choosing a popular 3D printer is its ease of use. After all, there is probably a training video or a review on the desired model on the network. nine0005

Of course, when choosing a 3D printer, you should not focus solely on the manufacturer. There are many selection criteria to consider. However, 3D printer manufacturers are not the last factor to consider.

If you have additional questions that we have not covered, write to us by e-mail and we, if necessary, will add your questions! Best regards, 3DDevice team.
