MakerBot Support 2XA Performance Extruder for METHOD X 3D Printer
The MakerBot Support 2XA Extruder (Model 900-0044B) is a high-precision industrial extruder specifically designed for the METHOD X 3D printer platform. Built for high-speed printing without compromising part accuracy, this performance extruder is optimised for printing with RapidRinse and SR-30 soluble support material, making it the ideal choice for professional ABS, ABS-R, and ASA printing applications. Whether you're producing functional prototypes or end-use parts, the Support 2XA delivers consistent, reliable results with enhanced material management and swappability.
Key Features
-
Smart Sensors: Advanced material management and print protection ensure reliable, uninterrupted printing
-
Enhanced Torque: 19:1 dual-drive gear ratio provides superior filament control and extrusion precision
-
Rapid Heat-Up: Lengthened thermal core heats up in less than 60 seconds, reducing downtime between prints
-
Quick-Release Mount: Locking extruder mount provides high-stability printing and easy swappability for maintenance
-
Removable Cap Design: Version 1.5 features removable cap and set screw for cost-effective nozzle and PTFE tube assembly replacement
-
Long Service Life: 1-year expected lifetime based on typical usage (800 hours of printing)
Optimised for Soluble Support Materials
The Support 2XA Extruder is specifically engineered for printing with RapidRinse (designed for ABS-R) and SR-30 soluble support material, the ideal support materials for ABS and ASA applications. This enables efficient dissolution of support structures, resulting in superior surface finish quality and reduced post-processing time for complex geometries.
Industrial-Grade Reliability
Designed for professional 3D printing environments, the Support 2XA extruder combines high-speed performance with exceptional part accuracy. The quick-release locking mount system ensures stable, consistent printing while allowing for rapid extruder changes when switching materials or performing maintenance. Smart sensors continuously monitor material flow and extruder performance, protecting your prints and maximising uptime.
Compatibility
This extruder is designed exclusively for the MakerBot METHOD X and METHOD X CF 3D printers. It is optimised for use with SR-30 and RapidRinse support materials, ideal for ABS, ABS-R, and ASA model materials.
