Frustrated with 3d prints? Can't print with PLA? At http://3dprintler.com/ we created an upgrade for Makerbot Replicator 2x to print with PLA and ABS. We are off to CES2014 to show it to Makerbot. Currently, there is a big problem with all Makerbot Replicator 2X machines. When you try to print with PLA, the build plate heats up, and the extruded PLA plastic wonstick to it.

We have the solution: a cooling system that directs cooler air down to the build plate.

This Makerbot Replicator 2X upgrade is easy to install and does not hinder your prints in any way. In fact, it only enhances the quality of your 3D prints.
