Aluminum 3D Printer Upgrades & Modifications

3D printer parts need to have great precision. Yet many are made from plastic, making them susceptible to warping and flexing. Aluminum Upgrades will add rigidity, increased heat resistance and a great professional look to your 3D printer.

Products:

Schark Parts™ is an exclusive line of all-aluminum 3D printer modifications.

Why Upgrade?

“Stock plastic parts are prone to warping, flexing, or even melting…”

3D printer owners desire precision out the their machines. They look to mods and upgrades to get the best results. The stock plastic parts on many 3D printers are prone to warping, flexing, or even melting – preventing maximum precision during the printing process. Schark Parts aluminum upgrades offer:

  • Rigidity & Durability – 3D printers have a lot of moving parts. Aluminum modifications can increase both the life of your printer investment and the precision of your machine.

 

  • Heat Resistance – Plastic stock parts do not support the printing temps (beyond 260C) required to print with materials such as nylon or PC. If using these materials, aluminum upgrades are highly recommended to prevent warping and melting.
  • Safety – Even using a standard enclosure can create temperatures high enough to effect the operating parts of your printer. This is very true if you are printing with materials that require temps higher than what your 3D printer was designed for. Avoid melted ABS parts creating safety hazards for both you and your machine.
  • Professional Look – Just because your printer makes with plastic doesn’t mean it has to be made out of it. All Schark Parts upgrades are professionally CNC milled from 100% aluminum and anodized in electric blue.

MakerBot Replicator 2 Aluminum Build Plate

Stop worrying about warped acrylic buildplates on your Replicator 2 3D printer. This aluminum buildplate upgrade ensures a completely flat surface to print on. Use the entire build area of your plate for your 3D prints.

The plate is shelled out to reduce weight and resonance. It weighs less than the acrylic buildplate and is more durable (and weighs less) than glass buildplate alternatives.
