Our new Replicator 2

Our new Replicator 2 and a special thanks to Steve and Brian down at SOESD. Much larger build plate, finer resolution prints and a much more reliable machine. This thing printed very nicely right out of the box. The Replicator 2 only prints with PLA (no heated bed plate) but this means that drafts and temperature variations don't have such a negative effect on prints. This is what is known as a "Consumer Grade" machine in that it is lower in cost to purchase. We had looked very seriously at a professional machine for purchase this year with Perkins funds but decided against it. For the same price we can purchase several of these consumer machines which will provide more students with access to the machines at any given time.
