The Wanhao Duplicator 6 Plus (also known as D6 Plus) is an improved version of the standard D6. It is an FDM desktop 3D printer produced by the popular Chinese company, Wanhao. The device comes with an upgraded yet solid design. Unlike its predecessor, it features an all-metal hotend, an auto bed leveling system, and a printing resume feature. Sturdy and reliable, the Duplicator 6 Plus is a good quality FDM printer sold at a really affordable price. It is ideal for tinkerers, educators, designers, makers, and hobbyists. Its small footprint makes it perfect for almost any benchtop.
The D6 Plus has a semi-closed frame entirely made of powder-coated steel. It comes bundled with an enclosure, which lets you reliably print with temperature-sensitive filaments. The redesigned double-track gantry system makes the construction more stable improving the overall printing precision. The printer adopts a heated bed with Magnetic Mat cover, which makes for easy and quick print removal. The print bed can be easily calibrated via the embedded 9-points auto bed leveling function.
The print recovery option lets you restart a print from where it left off in case of power failures. It also lets you pause a print job to change the filament and then resume it. Read our Wanhao Duplicator 6 Plus review to learn more about its specs.

The Wanhao Duplicator 6 Plus is an FDM desktop 3D printer that can print layers at 100 microns. The surface finish is not as smooth as you get with the more expensive printers, but is more than enough for prototyping and household use. The double-track gantry system reduces XY-axis vibrations. This lets you print at a higher speed always obtaining a good print quality.
The D6 Plus reaches a printing speed of 150 mm/min.

The Wanhao Duplicator 6 Plus comes stock with a 0.4mm nozzle, giving you the best balance between speed and detail. The nozzle reaches a maximum operating temperature of 260°C.
The printer body is an all-steel construction. It's built like a tank. The print head runs on rails. This makes printing reliable, fast, and precise.
The Wanhao Duplicator 6 Plus prints with PLA, ABS, PVA, PEVA, HIPS, and other filaments.
The printer is equipped with an MK11 single-extruder with steel X-carriage produced by Wanhao itself. It has been designed to improve the layer alignment for higher resolution prints.
The all-metal extruder along with the heated bed lets you reliably print with ABS-type and other advanced thermoplastics, such as carbon fiber and wood.
The heated bed heats up to 100°C. The flexible Magnetic Mat cover lets you easily pop off your prints from the plate.
The Wanhao D6 Plus comes with an additional enclosure. When printing in a closed chamber, the print quality would not be affected by temperature fluctuations as a result of drafts and other factors. This grants high reproducibility and reliability.
The Wanhao Duplicator 6 Plus prints with 1.75 mm filament. It is an open-source device that can print with filaments from any vendor, providing you with a wide choice of materials.
The build area of 8 x 8 x 7 inches (200 x 200 x 180 mm) lets you accomplish most of the daily 3D printing projects. Larger models can be printed in parts and then assembled using acetone (for ABS) or glue (for PLA).
The printer features an integrated LCD screen with a rotary knob. It lets you easily navigate the printing menu and set different parameters. The display brightness can be changed according to your needs.
3D models can be printed from a computer via USB cable or via a USB stick or an SD card.
The Wanhao Duplicator 6 Plus comes bundled with the Wanhao Edition of the popular Cura slicer. However, it is an open-source device that can work with all the most common slicing software, including Repetier-Host and Simplify3D. It supports STL file formats.
