“We know you are too busy learning and tinkering to continuously keep up to date with the latest 3D printing filaments and tools, so we created a box that showcases the most exciting materials from the top filament brands each and every month to your doorstep. Inside each box you will also find handy maker tools, 3D downloads, reference guides and exclusive surprises. We do our part to ensure that our chosen filaments are both environmentally friendly and thoroughly tested before entering our maker’s toolkits,” Maker Box explains on their website.
It’s pretty easy to sign up to receive a monthly Maker Box, just head on over to their website and subscribe, making sure to select the correct filament size that your 3D printer uses. Maker Box is available in a 1.75 mm filament option and a 3.0 mm filament option. Each box costs $69.99 a month and that price will include shipping. The new box for the month is shipped out near the beginning of the month, and currently Maker Box expects them to arrive by the 15th of each month depending on your location.
Each Maker Box will include samples of high-quality 3D printing filaments, including many advanced and exotic materials like Glow in the Dark, Metal, Wood, Bronze and Carbon Fiber filaments. They will also have other 3D printing products like cool prints, maker tools, reference guides, coupons for 3D printers and services, and exclusive samples and freebies.
