The fastest controlled horizontal acceleration in the market, allows for extremely fast printing. Connect the machine to your computer's USB port, Drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux are available.

Theoretical resolution: 0.0125 mm for the X and Y axis, the Z-axis is even more accurate! A user-friendly, low-maintenance material feed mechanism (geared). Allows for mid-build material refills and color changes during prints. The machine is very light-weight and robust, you can take it on a trip, without fear of it breaking. We use only square nuts for T-slots and offer a very high quality barch wood. Designed for quick assembly and easy maintenance. Holds a reel of plastic for hassle free 3D printing. Integrated electronics, no need to wire many boards together, everything is plugged into just once PCB. The electronics provide the option to add a 5th stepper motor for later upgrades Powered by free (libre) software. Based on Open Source Hardware (CAD files are published here!)
