Re: Makerbot Lawsuit

To be fair what they call an extruder is what we call a hotend... but your point stands with an E3Dv6.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend

Re: Makerbot Lawsuit

when they found out the smart extruder was not so smart (kept clogging ) and everyone that had bought a Makerbot 5th generation
printer were complaining about them on the Makerbot Forum Makerbot shut the forum down.
Leaving people with older printers and no warranty in the dark.

My work place got a Makerbot last year and was going through an extruder every 3 months.
