Print speed – Normal quality 60 mm/sec, Draft 100 mm/sec
Calculated for 0.4 nozzles. Larger nozzles normally print slower but provide parts much faster due to a reduced number of layers (thicker layer = lower resolution = faster results).
Power
- Support both 110V and 230V
- For electronics: – Meanwell 24V 280W Power Supply
- Protections: Short / Over-load / Over-voltage / Over-heating.
- No-load power consumption<0.5W
- LED indicator for power on
- Aviation grade switches and connectors
- Heat Bed AC powered heater 1370 Watt
- PID bed heater controller by Autonics
Print Bed
- 6.35mm thick, Alcoa Mic6 milled cast aluminum plate, made in the USA.
- AC powered bed heater 1370 Watt. Requires additional independent 15A AC source.
- Dual heating zones. Inner 200X200mm size for small objects and lower power consumption.
- Max temperature – 120C
- Print surface – PEI film with 3M high temp adhesive sheet.
Auto Bed Leveling
- BL touch probe as standard
- Probing of bed shape is kept in controller memory and activated before each print.
- Probing mesh
Software
- Open source Duet RepRap firmware. The leading firmware for 3D printing allowing numerous configurations and easy customization using the macro system.
-
One can choose from any available slicer and 3D printer controller including Slic3r, Cura, and Simplified3d (recommended).
Specific printer configurations are supplied in the customer zone.
Extruder

- Configuration: Main – direct drive, secondary – direct drive.
- Extruder drive gear ratio 3:1 for power and accuracy.
- Nema17 40mm for high power extrusion.
- Adjustable tension idler.
Hot End
-
E3D Volcano high flow heat block – standard.
Optional E3D V6 for very small items with high details or SuperVolcano for a very fast high flow and bulky objects (shown at the photo on the right).
- The 1.75 mm filament diameter is the default, but the end-customer can change it to 3mm filament.
- 0.4, 0.6 & 0.8 mm brass Volcano nozzles.
- Smaller nozzle diameters are available for the standard V6
-
Heater cartridge is 24V 40W, max temperature is 285C by default. Can be converted to a higher temperature of up to 500C
by the end-customer by changing the thermistor, if needed.
- Part cooling fan – 5015 blower fan
Filament
The printing head(s) supports almost any existing filament including :
PLA, ABS, composites: Carbon fiber, Wood, Copper, Brass, Magnetic…, PHA, PVA, Hips, Nylon, TPE & TPU (flexible) Co-Polyester, PETG…
Open Filament – Any filament from any vendor can be used.
Filament Run-Out Sensor – The filament run-out detection sensor will pause the print job when the filament has been used up.
