Introduction
Introduction
The Markforged Mark 2 3D printer:
Prints proprietary carbon fibre filled nylon (called ONYX)
Patented second nozzle system can deposit additional fibre between layers
Other plastics and fibres possible, but not in scope of the current training:
Ultem
Fibreglass
Kevlar
The prints are more expensive than prints in PLA/ABS on the Ultimaker, but they promise much higher physical properties. Think of being able to replace aluminium parts with these prints.

Check the Makespace Meetup Group for a practical assessment session. If there is no practical scheduled there, please email: 3dprinters-owners@makespace.org
The trainer will demonstrate how to properly and safely use the machine, as well as answer any questions you may have.
Lastly please keep in mind that all the trainers at Makespace are volunteers. They, like all Makespace members, give their time to continually improve our community. Do not hesitate to ask for training, or indeed any questions, but please be patient as they make time in their schedules to run the practical assessments.

Choosing how and where fibre is added to your prints is key to making strong parts but as fibre is more expensive than plastic you will want to only add fibre where it is required:
Prints can be paused at certain points so that you can add captive hardware such as nuts or magnets:
