The MakerBot Replicator+ combines unparalleled performance with superior results and lasting reliability. Re-engineered, the Replicator+ prints high-quality concept models faster, easier, and with a bigger build volume. For greater reliability, the Smart Extruder+ comes standard and key components within the printer are redesigned with stiffer materials and a sturdier construction.
A: For small detailed parts you should consider a SLA printer. The difference in detail and quality are astounding. You should look at the Anycubic Photon series printers. They are very good and very affordable. I am getting my husband the Anycubic Photon Mono SE. I have done many, many hours of research and that printer is the best balance of quality and price.
Q: Can this printer use Hatchbox PLA 1.75mm filament?
A: Hello, We highly recommend using MakerBot filament due to the quality and tuning of our materials to the printer. You can print with 3rd party filaments at your own discretion but we cannot guarantee the same results as with our own material.
Q: Replicator -- does that mean it can scan a part and then print it? Does it have an optical scanner?
A: No, it has no scanning capability. It has a camera, but it is a low-quality device used to keep an eye on your device during printing.
Q: What is included? Is a PLA spool included?
A: Hello, Here is what comes in the box. 1 MakerBot Replicator+ 3D Printer 1 Smart Extruder+ for the Replicator+ 1 Spool PLA 1 Flexible Build Plate Power & USB Cables
Q: How does it replicate or copy a part? can it do this? what are the size limitations?
A: Hello, The Replicator+ has a build volume of 11.6 X 7.6 X 6.5 IN. The printer does not come with a 3D scanner. You will have to create your own .STL or .OBJ file in a 3D modeling software such as TinkerCAD, SketchUp, SolidWorks, Blender, etc. You can also download over 1 million free things on Thingiverse.com and print them as well.
Q: how small can you print with detail, like 1/285 scale (6mm) , 1/2400 scale and 1/700 scale?

Q: so were trying to find the sd card slot and we don't know were it is
A: There is not a SD card slot. These use a thumb drive, direct USB-type B cable to your computer, or they can connect via WiFi.
