MakerBot Sketch — Technical data

The MakerBot Sketch is an enclosed entry-level printer for teaching, which MakerBot sold as a package with lesson material and certification courses for teachers. It prints 1.75 mm PLA and Tough PLA on a heated, flexible plate in a 150 × 150 × 150 mm build volume. A particulate filter in the housing, a camera and Wi-Fi connection to the MakerBot cloud are meant to simplify classroom operation. Larger sibling models are the Sketch Large and the faster Sketch Sprint.

Anyone buying a used Sketch should know that it is designed for a closed ecosystem with MakerBot software and its own extruders. A working extruder, at least one undamaged build plate and removal from the school's cloud account are therefore important. The particulate filter is a consumable. As the manufacturer has moved the software to UltiMaker CloudPrint, check beforehand whether the device can be registered there. Course material and licences usually do not transfer with the sale.

Buy or have it printed? For small or changing quantities, having parts printed is often cheaper than your own machine. If you regularly fill many build jobs, your own machine pays off.
