Assemble the Future

This is the Printrbot Jr. V2 Kit, an exceptional 3D printer you build with your own two hands. The build is moderately complex and takes a few hours to complete but once you’re done, you’ll have a fully functional manufacturing center sitting on your desk. Just to make sure we’re all on the same page, 3D printers let you print things in 3D by extruding layers of rapidly cooling plastic on one another. By virtue of this manufacturing process, you can make complex, low mass, designs like Gyro the Cube that would be nearly impossible given standard manufacturing processes. Plug it into your computer, load a 3D design file (LOADS are available for free online) and watch your ideas transition from pixels to plastic.

Believe in Yourself

The idea of building a 3D printer can seem overwhelming. Luckily you have two important resources to aid in your journey. First, Printrbot has detailed instructions and a community full of people looking to help you get started. Second, Massdrop members are at least 30% more confident than the national average (you can’t argue, it’s science). Building your first lego set was hard at the time, building your first desktop was a challenge, and now you’re building a machine that can make desktop computer shaped lego sets. Is it difficult? Yes. Can you do it? Definitely. Just follow the instructions and believe in yourself.

Best in Class

From raising $830,000 through Kickstarter to winning MAKE magazine awards, it’s clear Printrbot doesn't play around. Their printers are top tier and their assembly instructions are easy to understand. The Printrbot Jr. V2 features a super flat heated aluminum bed (flatness allows for consistency and heating makes for a more stable base), high precision ACME rods for silky smooth Z axis movement, and GT2 belts for durability and longevity of function. Additionally, it’s important to note that the included hot end (where the plastic comes out) is equipped to handle 1.75mm plastic filaments and nothing larger. That said, if you want to start printing things with higher volume and plastic density, it’s easy to swap the hot end for a 3mm compatible unit. All in, this is one of the best consumer grade 3D printer kits out there and because of the 3D printer poll, you can buy it at Massdrop price levels.
