After an announcement made at CES in 2013 by the CEO of MakerBot for their new generation of personal 3D printers, we at 3Dnatives labs have decided to tackle the Replicator Mini. This 3D printer is an entry-level model from this American manufacturer. Before we begin our test and all the details, we wanted to give a big thank you the team at Makershop.fr for loaning us this machine for our test today!
Unpacking
When unpacking the printer, we felt as if we were opening a new Apple computer, as everything was very clean, thought out, with hardly even a blemish on the packaging. It made us even more excited to unpack it!
Once the box of the Replicator Mini was opened, we found 2 packages. The first box is the printer and the second box is the one which contains the main plug, the USB cable, the filament protection tube, transparent PLA filament, a smart extruder, printing tray, a few sheets of blue adhesive to help facilitate adhesion of the filament, two orange clips to hold the motor straps (for transport purposes), and finally the instructions and the warranty for the machine.
