The Makerbot Smart Extruder +, released in 2016 is the new edition of the Smart Extruder for 5th Generation Makerbots. It is a all in one extrusion system that attaches with magnets. This model is not compatible with the Z18.
Features updated since the original version:
- Stronger Magnets: for better attachment to the machine
- Longer Pins: for better connection and communication
- Improved Filament Presense Sensor: to detect filament run-outs better
- Encoder Wheel Upgrades: This measures small movement of filament. They have over-moulded the encoder wheel to minimise under extrusion and false filament detection
- Longer PTFE tube: for a drastic reduction in clogging
It has been tested for greater print success over a longer period of time.

Makerbot Replicator Plus - WHILE STOCKS LAST
The MakerBot Replicator+ is Faster, Easier, Quieter 3D Printing and a 22% Bigger Build Volume than previous model It has a flexible build plate for easier part removal. Redesigned Z axis movement and now comes factory leveled.
Honest review: The new software allows CAD-To-Print and multi machine management which is a real plus for schools and print labs. It is quieter, but not as big a leap to silence Makerbot may want you to believe. The build size is dramatic and the auto levelling seems perfect so far. The flex bed is great, but we recommend adding Buildtak for extra grip. All in all a professional machine easy to use.
