Will this extruder fit my MakerBot SKETCH?

Yes. It is made for the SKETCH and SKETCH Large. It does not fit the Replicator or Method lines.

Do I need two extruders?

Only if you run several SKETCH printers or want a spare on the shelf. A single printer can keep one as backup.

The extruder is a self-contained module. You unclip the old one, seat the new one and the printer recognizes it.

Yes. Each extruder arrives as a complete unit with its nozzle, ready to print.

Only if the old extruder is worn or clogged. Check filament, leveling and settings first.

Yes. It is the standard MakerBot SKETCH extruder, sold as a two-pack.
