Main Features
Effortless Highspeed Printing
Experience effortless high-speed printing with the MK4, incorporating our proprietary Input Shaper and Pressure Advance technologies in its firmware. By eliminating resonance and predicting filament flow, the MK4 significantly reduces print times by up to 70% compared to the MK3. Impressively, this remarkable speed is achieved while maintaining exceptional quietness during operation.
Impeccable First Layers Right Out of the Box
With the precision of the Loadcell sensor, the MK4 is capable of automatically creating a seamlessly smooth and even first layer without any user intervention. As the print begins, the printer probes the sheet using the nozzle in a grid formation, measures the distance, and calculates the necessary offsets. This leads to an impeccable first layer on all surfaces, eliminating the need for manual fine-tuning.
Introducing the Nextruder with Breakout Board
The extruder serves as the core of every 3D printer, and the Nextruder is truly exceptional. In contrast to most contemporary 3D printers where replacing extruder components can be complex, the Nextruder features a convenient connector break-out board. Components such as fans, heaters, thermistors, and more are directly connected to this board, simplifying the process of swapping parts down to just a minute. Experience hassle-free maintenance with the innovative Nextruder.
32-bit xBuddy Mainboard
Introducing the xBuddy board, a cutting-edge 32-bit STM32-powered mainboard packed with exceptional features. Boasting unique hardware-based safety protection systems, communication capabilities with four thermistors, and essential ports (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and compatibility with USB-A flash drives), this mainboard delivers top-notch performance. Designed, manufactured, and tested in-house, the xBuddy board is an integral component of the MK4 3D printer, ensuring optimal operation and reliability.
Unparalleled Print Quality
The MK4 3D printer features an array of enhancements, including redesigned, sturdier plastic parts and new precision 0.9° stepper motors (0.9°/step; low inductance) on the X and Y axes, effectively eliminating Vertical Fine Artifacts on prints. Additionally, it boasts thicker 10mm rods on the Z-axis. These improvements not only ensure superior print quality but also make printing with "challenging" filaments, such as Flex, a breeze. Experience exceptional results and ease of use with the MK4 3D printer.
Colour LCD Screen and Simple User Interface (UI)
The MK4's display enhances user experience with support for G-code thumbnails, QR codes, and other elements that simplify printer operation. The redesigned menus and customizable footer panel further contribute to a seamless user interface. An RGB status bar located directly beneath the LCD communicates the printer's current status, while a conveniently positioned USB-A port accommodates standard USB flash drives. Experience unparalleled ease of use with the feature-rich MK4 3D printer.
Quick-Swap Nozzles
With two quick-release thumbscrews on the side of the Nextruder's body, the MK4 3D printer makes nozzle swapping easier than ever before. Utilizing unique nozzles featuring an all-metal filament guide and eliminating the need for PTFE tubes, the MK4 enhances overall printer reliability, ensuring consistently high performance and user satisfaction.
