Specification

An extremely large build volume, 21x21x22 cm (L/W/H), while having a very desktop friendly footprint of only 35x35 cm. 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. Capable of printing with biodegradable PLA plastics and ABS. This allows for extremely affordable printing (plastics offered here). Feel free to use other materials! 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!) Free software upgrades will be provided and hardware upgrades can be downloaded and printed. The UltiController LCD interface now available!
