Our Story
We started3D Printer Base after seeing how difficult it was for customers to find trustworthy 3D printers, clear product information, and dependable support.

Our vision is to set a new standard in the 3D printing space. We focus on quality over quantity, staying up to date with the latest 3D printing technology while only stocking products we would confidently use ourselves. Transparency, reliability, and long-term customer satisfaction are at the core of everything we do.

The MakerGear M3-ID has changed the way dual is done. It is the first desktop 3D printer to fully support duplication printing with independent extruders.
Unlike traditional dual systems, where both extruders are locked into the same task, the M3-ID’s extruders work both independently and simultaneously, doubling your printing capacity.
The M3-ID is made for the long haul and excels at high-volume, high-quality print jobs thanks to its rock-solid steel frame and touch probe-powered True Levelling.
With industrial-grade precision and reliability in a machine compact enough to sit on your desk, the M3-ID is built for prototyping and production. Print crisp, clean lines on multicolour models; mix and match a large variety of materials to achieve the ideal balance of desired properties; and make complex and intricate parts using soluble support materials.
Features
Independent Dual Extruders for fast multi-material printing and use of soluble supports.
Linear Rails of industrial-grade, Cast Tooling Plate Components, Direct Drive Extruders .
Touch Probe for automatic and reliable leveling of Heated Bed .
WiFi/Ethernet Connectivity offering remote control and monitoring capabilities.
Onboard Computer with 10GB storage.
USB Port enabling users to print files stored on flash drives.
MacOS, Windows, Linux, iOS & Android Compatibility.
