Watch Genius smart leveling
Why is leveling a crucial step in 3D printing?
For 3D printing, the first layer is fundamental to the rest of the print.
Thus, a precise leveling ensures a proper distance between the nozzle and the build plate to achieve an optimal first layer adhesion.
The traditional manual leveling is a cumbersome procedure, relying on experience with a risk of human error.
The auto-leveling failure is usually caused by the height difference between probe and nozzle, or the aging of the parts.
Patented smart nozzle makes printing better and steadier
- AI-powered detection module
- Quick-change nozzle
- Ultra-quiet cooling system
- Intelligent filament sensor
The printhead nozzle is equipped with a built-in AI-powered detection module and a smart leveling algorithm. In addition, mCreate supports one-button leveling and high-precision calibration.
您的浏览器不支持 video 标签。It takes only 3 seconds to remove and install a nozzle¹, making it easy to deal with a clogged printhead. Switching to the laser engraving mode is easy by replacing the laser head the same way.
The cooling system enables consistent shrinkage of finished products. Its ultra-quiet fan design makes printing quiet.
When the filament runs out or breaks accidentally, mCreate will suspend the task and issue an alert. The machine will resume working once the filament is refilled, thus preventing printing failure.
3 sec Change nozzles
360° Circular airflow cooling system

Zero Almost zero print failure rate when out of filaments
Flexible magnetic build plate — supports wider ranges of materials, easy to remove prints upon completion
The build plate of mCreate is heatable, attaching a flexible magnetic sheet with a frosted surface. It gives better adhesion of the 3D print to prevent edge warping and curling. After printing, you can take off the magnetic build plate and remove the print easily without a scraper.
mCreate supports various 3ʳᵈ party 3D printing filaments, including PLA and its derivatives, TPU, PP, PVA, etc.
Resume printing after a power outage
The nozzle will rise instantly during a power outage, protecting the semi-finished print. After the power is back on, the nozzle will return to its initial position to heat up and then continue printing. This feature effectively minimizes print material and time losses due to power interruptions.

Review of MBot
home 3D printersArchive
. In this review, three models will be considered - MBot Printer PVC Color System, MBot 3D-Printer and MBotII. It is worth noting that all three 3D printers have one important advantage - this is a relatively low price for a quality home device. Let's start our review to know the details of the technical specifications of each device. nine0003
MBot Printer PVC Color System
Let's start with the MBot Printer PVC Color System, which is currently sold out.
This model is the progenitor of other products of this company. Why might this printer model be attractive to a potential client? We offer to take everything apart:
- The print area of the device is as much as 200x200x200 mm. In addition, the manufacturer offers modern software for the smooth operation of the printer. nine0022
- Most modern 3D printers can print in one color, however MBot can use two extruders at once, connected to its own consumable source. The two extruders work great together.
- The same two extruders allow you to use both the main consumable and the support material. This technology allows you to print objects with complex geometry.
- Equipped with an improved composite alloy printhead that can be easily removed and installed. nine0022
Let's pay attention to the specifications of MBot printer PVC 3D printer:
4 mm Home printer called MBot Printer for $999
This product was developed by MagicfilmLLC and is currently one of the most affordable home 3D printers on the market. In fact, this model is an improved version of its predecessor - it has the same technical characteristics as the PVC model. Among the technical characteristics, it should be noted the presence of two extruders, a built-in touch screen and an SD card slot. It is also worth noting that this 3D printer model was created based on the Replicator 2 3D printer from MakerBot.
Specifications are the same as MBot printer PVC. nine0003
$1399 CubeII home printer
Another home printer option from MBot is the $1399 CubeII device, which was manufactured by MagicFilmLLC.
The device is also affordable in terms of price and one of the main advantages of the printer is the ability to print in two colors. This model differs from its predecessor, the Cube model, and offers more options for the modern enthusiast. This device for three-dimensional printing can be described in three words - the printer is higher, better and faster. The print area has been increased and will allow the wearer to print large objects. The developers have added a new holder in order to increase the accuracy of printing. The surface on which the object is recreated can now be removed and cleaned of dirt and remaining consumables. Print speed has also been increased.
Let's take a look at the specifications of MBot's CubeII 3D printer:
- Printer dimensions 405x405x410 mm
- Print area 260x230x200 mm
- Print speed 100mm/s (50% faster than most other home printers)
- Uses ReplicatorG software
- File Format - STL
- Compatible with WindowsXP/7, Linux and MacOSX
MBot Printer Kit for $669
In addition to these three models on the MBot website, you can find the MBot Printer Kit, which is a disassembled version of the MBot Cube. IKEA style assembly instructions included. The cost of such pleasure is 669$
All MBot printers can be ordered on the manufacturer's website: http://www.mbot3d.com
Our review has come to an end, but we will still delight our readers with interesting and useful information about high-quality products from modern 3D printer manufacturers.

Chinese 3D printer repair (Mbot and Mbot Cube II)
At different times, we had two 3D printers from MBot3D in our office, and we had to tinker with them.
Next, we will talk about the problems that arose and were successfully resolved. nine0003
The 3D printers of the Chinese company Mbot are clones of the American Replicator printer from MakerBot. We got the Mbot Cube Double Head and Mbot Cube II. And in both cases, I had to delve into the mechanics and software.
Soft.
The official website of the manufacturer claims support for OSX, Linux and Windows and printing through the ReplicatorG program, for which machine profiles are posted on the site. We did not have a chance to try printing on Linux, everything works very well on Windows, but ReplicatorG under OSX with profiles from the manufacturer refused to work correctly. nine0003
Since these printers are based on the MakerBot MightyBoard, and the printers themselves consider themselves The Replicator Dual (this is how they are defined when connected to a computer, and the Mbot Cube of the first model with factory firmware 6.2 even shamelessly writes this on its display), a decision was made adapt MakerWare to print on Mbot'ax.
The main problem that we encountered in this issue is the mismatch in the size of the area for printing. Due to the fact that the Replicator's print area is longer (225x145x150mm) than the Mbot's (claimed 200x200x200mm), the Mbot's printhead hit the left edge of the printer when it started printing. To avoid this problem, we changed the profile settings for RepicatorDual in MakerWare, which are written in a *.json file on OSX, they are located in Macintosh HD > Libraries > MakerWare > s3g > profiles nine0003
The file itself is modified in a standard text editor (you need to make sure that the *.txt extension is not added to the file name). In the profile file, we change the dimensions of the platform (and the starting point, if necessary).
The file is saved to the original folder, after which in the MakerWare program you need to execute the command from the top menu Services > Restart Background Service and we will see the changed working field on the screen.
After that, you can safely print without fear that the printer will beat itself. nine0003
Mechanics
This is not to say that Mbot printers are assembled very poorly, but for stable operation, you will need to customize the printer for yourself.
The greatest number of problems arose with the first generation Mbot Cube printer.
It was a surprise that after aligning the nozzles in height, it was not possible to assemble the print head back, as the tube receiving the plastic began to rest against the clamping mechanism. nine0003
Plus, the clamping mechanism itself was copied
from earlier versions of the Replicator and did not provide for such a clamp, so it was immediately replaced with a clamping mechanism with a spring.
And the platform (which, by the way, unlike the Replicator, has no heating) turned out to be Curve (!!) and was urgently replaced with an MDF platform + a mirror.
