3D Printer
Three lead-screw-driven Z-axes tilt the bed up to 45°. Angled walls, curved surfaces and overhangs can be printed in one piece, with layers that follow the part.
Overhangs are printed from the side instead of built up in mid-air. Many parts need no supports at all.
The heat block is replaced with a narrower linear design and an extended nozzle. Less collision risk, better reach on the tilted bed. Nozzles are swappable by hand, no tools needed.
The nozzle probes the bed itself and builds a height map. Tilt is corrected automatically, so the first layer goes down flawlessly every time.
The fully enclosed aluminium frame is rigid and steady. It holds temperature stable, blocks drafts and dust, and dampens noise.
The sensor watches the filament path from spool to extruder. It loads and unloads filament automatically and pauses the print when the spool runs out or a tangle starts to form. An LED indicator shows filament status at a glance.
Built for non-planar
03.1 · Firmware
An upgraded, customized Klipper firmware drives the non-planar motion system.
03.2 · Slicer
Standard slicers can't curve layers. The MK1 ships with a customized slicer capable of multi-planar and true non-planar slicing.
03.3 · At the 3D printer
A 4-inch capacitive touchscreen gives you full control at the printer: responsive and readable.
03.4 · From anywhere
Start, monitor and stop prints over the network with the remote control interface. No SD card shuffle required.
