        (Refurbished M2s are also in stock and ready to ship.)

      • The M2 was originally released in 2012. MakerGear has continued to improve it based on real-world feedback and is now shipping the M2 Rev. E. (M2e), the fifth generation of the M2 series.

        The M2 Revision E includes a number of improvements including the new, easy to adjust yet more rigid, four-point leveling system, metal components that replaced printed parts, QuickStart software, Tutorial video, and updated User Guide. Open the box, follow the instructions, and beautiful prints will soon follow.

        Reliability: With its steel frame and CNC machined cast aluminum construction, the M2 is engineered and manufactured to provide industrial-level precision with a small footprint. The new four-point print bed is easy to level, stays level, and removes the need for z-compensation (aka “auto-leveling”). Whether you are a professional or a weekend hobbyist, the M2 is built to run and built to last.

        Freedom: While MakerGear filament is recommended, you are free to use the filament of your choice. The M2 also uses open-source electronics and firmware. The M2 provides the versatility and flexibility you need to accomplish your project your way.

        Ready to Use: Every M2 is tested at the MakerGear factory in Beachwood, Ohio, and is ready to use out of the box. The QuickStart software, step-by-step user guide, and tutorial video will take you from unboxing through your first prints.

        The Real Deal: With it’s ease of use, reliability, excellent prints, high-quality construction and components, and MakerGear’s prompt in-house support from M2 experts, you really do get it all with the MakerGear M2.
