Discover Support Material and Dual Extrusion

There’s lots to learn if you’ve just joined us in the world of 3D printing. Whether you’re learning the ropes with a new MakerBot Replicator 2 or if you’re still trying to wrap your head around what a MakerBot desktop 3D printer can do, the MakerBot Discover page is worth exploring. The Explore section of the MakerBot site is where you’ll find inspirational videos about some of our most amazing users and resources for learning more about 3D printing. I just put two new videos up there today that are chock-full of useful information.

The Discover: Support Material video will tell you just how shallow of an overhang a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D printer can handle and offers some tips for how to deal with different overhangs.

The Discover: Dual Extrusion 3D Modeling video will explain just what a dual extrusion is and demystifies the concept of creating a dual extrusion 3D model. If you have any suggestions about videos or resources that you’d like to see on the Discover pages you can email us at thoughts@makerbot.com.
