• High speed uSD card and support for a second external SD card if required.
• Dual extruders on the main board, up to 5 more extruders on the expansion board.
• High Power rating: Each stepper driver is capable of 2.8A motor current, currently limited in software to 2.4A.
• Connect via PC, tablet or smartphone on the same network to the on board web interface.
• Set up your printer and update the firmware through the web interface.
• DUET expansion Board named DUEX 5 installed by default

Interface

• 7-inch Duet3d touchscreen – integrated with the controller
• WiFi web access for remote control from either mobile or PC allowing users to upload print files directly from their workstation
• SD card slot and USB

Motion System

• Hiwin MGW9H linear guide rails available as an optional upgrade
• Four Z ball screws for Z axis 12mm diameter, 4mm pitch

• The 1.75 mm filament diameter is the default, but the end-customer can change it to 3mm filament.
• 0.4, 0.6 & 0.8 mm brass Volcano nozzles.
• Smaller nozzle diameters are available for the standard V6
• Heater cartridge is 24V 40W, max temperature is 285oc by default. Can be converted to a higher temperature of up to 500oc by end-customer by changing thermistor, if needed.
• Part cooling fan – 5015 blower fan

Filament

Our printing head supports almost any existing filament including :
PLA, ABS, composites: Carbon fiber, Wood, Copper, Brass, Magnetic, PHA, PVA , Hips, Nylon, TPE & TPU (flexible) Co-Polyester, PETG

Open Filament – Any filament from any vendor can be used.

Filament Run-Out Sensor – The filament run-out detection sensor will pause the print job when the filament has been used up.
