Description
The Makerbot z18 is Makerbots prosumer level desktop 3d printer designed for large scale, consistent and reliable 3D printing. The z18’s large build volume means that you can make either single large scale models or print multiple models at the same time, saving you time. It is a great 3D printer for Architects and Designers alike.
Makerbot z18 Features
The Makerbot Z18 is designed for professional development, the Prosumer market, with a large build area and heated enclosed chamber. The Z18 printer is both USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi enabled which means you can connect to your makerbot account and manage your 3D printing remotely. It features the new Makerbot smart extruder.The smart extruder detects when there is no filament left and automatically pauses the print sending notifications to your makebot desktop and mobile apps. This gives you the freedom to press print and walk away knowing your print is not going to be destroyed.
Adding to the Print and go mentality of Makerbot 3D printers it features a built in camera so that yo can monitor your prints remotely, it can automatically take photos of your print and save it to your cloud storage! The fully featured software that is free to download helps you organise and access your 3D model files.
It has a very tall and large build area. Models can be made up to 45.7cm in height and 30cm in length and depth. The heated build chamber means that you can control the extrusion process to reduce warping of your 3D prints.
The high print resolution of 0.1mm allows for great print quality with little need for post processing.
Being networked means that you can monitor your print from your mobile phone using the Makerbot Mobile app, receive notifications and watch the camera feed to see how your3d print is doing.
Makerbot have developed a reputation for producing 3D printers that can keep on printing with little maintenance for many hours. They have great speed, reliability, quality, and connectivity.

Returns & Refunds
Firstly, if you want to return a product or you have a faulty product please get in touch as soon as possible!
To prevent ordering incorrect items, if you are unsure just ask and we can offer some guidance. However, bear in mind that we cannot say whether a particular product will be right for the purpose that you intend to use it for.
You can return your goods to iDig3Dprinting for any reason within 14 business days following receipt at your delivery address as long as they are in a re-saleable condition.
Filaments & resins cannot be returned once opened as once exposed to air these items perish.
Downloadable goods and 3D print samples cannot be returned and no refund will be issued.
Shipping costs of returned items are paid by the customer
A full refund will be issued for unopened items that are returned in their original packaging that are in a "as new" re-saleable condition minus additional costs that are incurred by iDig3Dprinting like payment processing fees, custom duties or charges.
We are afraid we cannot issue refunds for products that have been defaced, altered, used, or damaged in any way. All requests for refunds are subject to inspection by iDig3DPrinting of the returned item. We are not a charity or a lending library.
Refunds and returns for faulty items works a bit differently. Faulty goods can be accepted for return upto 60 days from receipt of the goods (However we prefer to offer diagnostics and repair solutions prior to an actual return, its better for the environment). After this time you will need to contact the Manufacturer. A repair or replacement will be issued for faulty goods once they have passed inspection and been found by iDig3Dprinting to be faulty.
This is a brief account of our returns policy. For the full terms please see our Terms and conditions page. Content on the Terms and Conditions page supersedes this content.
How to raise a return request
The main thing is please communicate with us. We are not omnipotent!
We can be quite flexible but this is built upon a foundation of mutual respect between our customers and iDig3Dprinting.
