MakerBot Introduces the New LABS GEN 2 Experimental Extruder

The New LABS GEN 2 Experimental Extruder, compatible with all METHOD 3D printers, allows you to print more abrasive 3rd-party composites and polymers for longer thanks to upgraded hardened-steel components.

Quickly swap between a model extruder for highly repeatable, dimensionally accurate parts with MakerBot Materials, to the LABS GEN 2 Experimental Extruder for dozens of verified third-party material options and unlimited open-materials experimentation.

The MakerBot LABS Experimental Extruder for METHOD is an experimental product and not covered under MakerCare or warranty.

COMPOSITES OPTIMIZED
With the number of third-party composites available on the market today, we decided to optimize the LABS GEN 2 Experimental Extruder for some of the most abrasive materials available – like Carbon Fiber and ESD composites. Now you can print more composites and polymers with confidence.
