| Performance The usable filament diameter is a 1.75 mm diameter. There are 2 extruders in the printer. Having more than one extruder attached to the printer can help you print material faster, as the printer can focus on multiple elements at once. The recommended maximum printing speed is 500 mm/s. This printing speed can affect the quality of the print, so make sure this speed falls within ranges you would like. You'll get a 190 mm x 190 mm x 196 mm in the Makerbot Method X, so make sure everything you want to print fits in this. You can make do by making your print in pieces, and then assembling, however, sometimes you'll just need a larger build area. The build plate is made from Flexible Plate. | |||
