CONS:

Makerbot Sketch Classroom needs active participation from your end. Whether you are a student or a teacher, you will have to also search for new ways to work out with this 3D printer. Also, after a point of time, you’d realize that the printer will not be effective enough to print intricately designed parts and functional prototypes on it. It can provide a basis for those who do not know 3D printing at all. But if you are a user who is above it, this 3D printer is definitely not for you.
