MakerBot UltiMaker Material Station

For power users who utilize every square millimeter of the UltiMaker S5 and UltiMaker S7's huge build volume, a single spool of filament isn't always enough to supply an entire print, and you rarely start out with a full spool loaded. The UltiMaker Material Handling Station holds up to six spools of material and will automatically detect any UltiMaker materials via their NFC identifiers. When the Blue CPE in bay 1 runs out, the Material Handling Station will automatically start feeding a new spool of Blue CPE.

Third party materials are also supported but must be manually identified when loaded. Each bay of the Material Handling Station can supply either the 1st or 2nd extruder, so support materials like PVA and Ionic can also be held at the ready to ensure the success of your next NylonG print. The Material Handling Station uses same-material spools in the order you load them, so be sure to load your half-spools first to use them up.
