Removes 99% of particulates and VOCs generated during printing. One of the strongest air filtration systems in the consumer printer category.
Nozzles snap in and out without tools or heating. Swapping between 0.25, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8mm nozzles takes seconds — ideal for classrooms and multi-user environments.
Full enclosure in a compact body that fits comfortably on a desk — unusually rare at this price point.
An 18% larger build volume than the Plus4's 305×305×280 mm, in the same enclosed prosumer class.
A 550 W third-generation chamber heater holds 65°C for PA, PA-CF, ABS, ASA, and PC with minimal warping across the build plate.
Handles high-performance engineering composites including carbon- and glass-fiber reinforced filaments and PPS-CF without a separate hotend upgrade.
