Review: Bueno - El productoes el adecuado y función bien Review: Maybe I got an exceptional extruder, but I don't understand the negative reviews - Not exactly sure how many hours I've put on it yet (maybe like 50) but I haven't had a single filament slip (fingers crossed). Made my $2600 paperweight into a working 3D printer again. I'll update if and when it starts to go downhill. ## Features - Dependable Performance: MakerBot Smart Extruder Plus ensures consistent, reliable 3D printing with MakerBot PLA filament, backed by over 160000 hours of rigorous testing - Enhanced Reliability: Designed for MakerBot Replicator Plus and Mini Plus printers, the Smart Extruder Plus features improved components and sensors for uninterrupted printing sessions - Effortless Maintenance: With enhanced homing and connectivity, this extruder minimizes clogs and jams, allowing for easy filament replacement to reduce downtime ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01A8DI9JM | | Brand | MakerBot | | Built-In Media | Smart Extruder+ | | Color | black | | Colour | black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Smartphone | | Compatible Material | Polylactic Acid | | Compatible devices | Laptop, Smartphone | | Connectivity Technology | Ethernet, USB, Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 137 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Polylactic Acid | | File Format | STL | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00817913013412 | | Item Weight | 0.84 Pounds | | Item height | 2 inches | | Item weight | 0.84 Pounds | | Manufacturer | MakerBot | | Material | Polylactic Acid | | Nozzle Primary Material | Polylactic Acid | | Nozzle Temperature Maximum | 230 Degrees Celsius | | Nozzle Tip Material | Brass | | Operating System | Windows, macOS, Linux | | Supported file format | STL | | UPC | 817913013412 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MakerBot - **Colour:** black - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, Smartphone - **Item weight:** 0.84 Pounds - **Material:** Polylactic Acid ## Images ![MakerBot Smart Extruder Plus with Improved Components, Enhanced Sensor System for PLA Filament, Replicator Plus, and Mini Desktop 3D Printers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414jRAiZI4L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: It is compatible with every 5th gen Replicator, right?** A: I believe it is. Ours is an early one of the 5th generation machines and it works well with it. **Q: Does the makerbot replicator already have this extruder +? or do i need to get it?** A: They have 3 models Replicator Z18, Replicator min+, and Replicator+. All 3 come with the Smart Extruder Plus. I bought a Replicator about 3 years ago and I don't think they would dare sell any Replicators any more without this plus series extruder as it is night and day with the reliability. I went through 3 extruders on it before I got the plus last July. Their treatment of customers could have been better as they really owed it to their customers during the initial period till the got the plus extruder developed. I loved it even back then with the constantly jamming extruders. Now it's like an entirely different machine now and I have been using it constantly since I got in in July. The machine is fantastic now and customer relations don't matter anymore as with no jamming there is no need to even contact them any more. It's just we shouldn't have to pay full price to replace an obviously defection design. But my anger has subsided as I love the machine now. **Q: Hello, could you tell me if this is the same mp06376 replacement for makerbot z18?** A: Hello, Yes this is specifically for use with the MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer **Q: Will this work in a makerbot replicator 2?** A: No, this extruder does not work in a Replicator 2. The Smart Extruder+ is compatible with the Replicator+, Replicator Z18, Replicator Mini, Replicator Mini+, and Replicator 5th Generation. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bueno *by C***N on 21 January 2020* El productoes el adecuado y función bien ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maybe I got an exceptional extruder, but I don't understand the negative reviews *by D***N on 6 July 2021* Not exactly sure how many hours I've put on it yet (maybe like 50) but I haven't had a single filament slip (fingers crossed).

Bei meiner Bestellung lief es eher nicht gut, ich habe einen alten Extruder bekommen, auf Anfrage kam keine Antwort. Da mein Extruder defekt war, habe ich das dann akzeptiert. Eigentlich geht das gar nicht ## Frequently Bought Together - MakerBot Smart Extruder Plus with Improved Components, Enhanced Sensor System for PLA Filament, Replicator Plus, and Mini Desktop 3D Printers - MakerBot PLA 3D Printing Filament Large Spool for Replicator+ and 5th Gen 3D Printers (True White) - MakerBot PLA 3D Printing Filament Large Spool for Replicator+ and 5th Gen 3D Printers (Cool Gray) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/335961574-makerbot-smart-extruder-plus-with-improved-components-enhanced-sensor-system](https://www.desertcart.be/products/335961574-makerbot-smart-extruder-plus-with-improved-components-enhanced-sensor-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
