Specifications

Printing Technology

• Technology: FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) / FFF

• Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm

• Extruder: All-metal hotend for high-temperature capability and reliable extrusion

• Nozzle: Standard interchangeable nozzle (often 0.4 mm, compatible with other sizes)

Build Volume & Mechanics

• Build Volume: Spacious build area suitable for medium-to-large prints

• Build Plate: Heated bed for better adhesion and broad material support

• Bed Leveling: Assisted or automatic leveling system

• Frame: Rigid metal frame for stability and reduced vibration

• Motion System: Precise linear rails or rods for consistent layer alignment

Print Performance

• Layer Resolution: Fine layer heights (e.g., ~0.1–0.3 mm typical)

• Print Speed: Moderate to high (depends on material and settings)

• Nozzle Temperature: Up to ~260–280 °C (supports advanced filaments)

• Bed Temperature: Up to ~90–110 °C (expands material compatibility)

Features

• Touchscreen Interface: Color touch display for easy control

• Filament Run-Out Detection: Pauses print when filament finishes

• Power-Loss Resume: Continues printing after an interruption

• Connectivity: USB / offline printing support (SD card/USB drive)

• Material Support: PLA, PETG, TPU, and other common filaments

Applications

• Functional prototypes and end-use parts

• Large art and display models

• Household tools and fixtures

• Cosplay props and costume parts

• Educational and maker-space projects
