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.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐ Ich habe kein + Modul bekommen
*by E***C on 6 February 2020*

Über den extra selbst gibt es noch viel zu sagen - der makerbot ist lange genug auf dem Markt und die starken und Schwächen sind bekannt. 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
