The hotend has a 4mm bore allowing the PTFE to be fed directly to the brass nozzle. The high flow rate hotend is essential for large prints up to 300x300x400mm.

A. The bed is made of 3mm aluminum with a plastic build surface similar to Buildtek. Glass bed upgrades are available. The maximum heating output is 240w. It only takes a few minutes to heat to 60C. We recommend printing at approximately 45C for PLA and 55C for PETG if using our blue PEI build surface.
