Reliability Backed by a Guarantee
MakerBot stands behind the performance of the Smart Extruder+. To ensure that your experience is as intended, the Smart Extruder+ is covered by a 6-month warranty. Based on our testing, it consistently and reliably prints for over 700 hours. (The vast majority of test units were still printing successfully at 1,200+ hours of print time.) This number is based on our testing and is the equivalent of the following:
- 2,310 meters of filament
- 1.44 miles of filament
- 7 large spools of MakerBot PLA filament
