Keep Reliability Close at Hand
• Engineered with improved components for better print performance: 
• Experience a seamless workflow from the start of a print to completion 
• Faster print start up and easier leveling 
• Backed by an extensive Quality Assurance (QA) operation and technical support team to ensure your success 
• Covered by a 6-month warranty with no exclusions

Designed for Simplicity
• A modular design allows users to remove and replace the extruder with ease 
• Reduce downtime by replacing a worn Smart Extruder+ without losing a print 
• An enhanced sensor system communicates with MakerBot Desktop and MakerBot Mobile to keep you informed. 

These sensors include:
• Filament detection sensor pauses a print when filament is absent
• Jam detection pauses the printer, allowing for print recovery
• The z-homing and leveling sensors enable accurate and reliable build plate leveling

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
