• Up to 600 mm/s print speed with excellent motion control.

• Great for users who want high speed without losing quality.

All-Metal Direct Drive Extruder

• Ideal for flexible filaments like TPU.

• All-metal construction allows for higher temperatures and better filament feeding accuracy.

• Supports a wide range of materials, including abrasive filaments with a hardened nozzle upgrade.

Print Bed & Leveling

• PEI-coated spring steel sheet for excellent adhesion and easy print removal.

• CR Touch automatic bed leveling with Z offset compensation for reliable first layers.

• Heated bed reaches up to 100°C, suitable for most common filaments.

Build Volume

• 220 x 220 x 250 mm: A versatile size for hobby and functional prints, fitting comfortably on a desktop.

Precision & Print Quality

• Linear rails on X and Y axes: Improves precision and consistency during fast prints.
