The Modix BIG-Meter 3D printer (https://top3dshop.com/product/modix-big-meter-3d-printer) is a 3D printing device with a large, life-size build chamber measuring 1010x1010x1010 mm. With four individually controllable X- and Z-axis motors, the printer is capable of automatic calibration of the bed tilt in preparation for the start of the work process.
Features of Modix BIG-Meter 3D printer
Made in an enclosed enclosure of 3mm thick black aluminum composite panels (ACP), reinforced with hard aluminum profiles with 40X40mm T-slot, complemented with laser-cut aluminum brackets and powder-coated hinges;
Equipped with the Duet 2 WiFi controller, made in the UK with a powerful 32-bit processor, dedicated Wi-Fi module with external antenna, and ultra-quiet TMC2660 stepper motor drivers, up to 256 microsteps. There is a high-speed USB card and support for a second external SD card if needed;
The interface of the printer is represented by a 7-inch touch screen Duet3d integrated with the controller, the presence of slots for SD-card and USB, as well as the possibility of access to Wi-Fi network, for remote management from a cell phone or PC, allowing users to download files for printing directly from their workstation;
The mechanics of the printer include linear guides from Hiwin MGW9H, four Z-axis ballscrews of 12mm diameter, 4mm pitch, and a 9mm wide, fiberglass-reinforced Gates GT2 timing belt;
Supports both 110V and 230V. Has short circuit, overload, overvoltage, overheat protection. Equipped with an LED power-on indicator, as well as aircraft-grade switches and connectors;
The printing platform is represented in the form of heated aluminum plate Alcoa Mic6 of 6.35 mm thickness, made in the USA. An AC-powered heater, 1370W, with a maximum heating temperature of 120°C is used. Requires an additional 15A independent AC power supply. Has dual heating zones. Internal size 200X200 mm for small objects and low power consumption. PEI film with 3M high-temperature adhesive layer is used as printing surface;
Automatic alignment of the printing table is provided. A BL stylus is available as standard. Bed shape detection is stored in the controller memory and activated before each print start;
The software is Duet RepRap open source. The leading firmware for 3D printing, allowing printing in numerous configurations and easy customization with the macro system. Any available 3D printer slicer and controller can be selected, including Slic3r, Cura and Simplify3d (recommended);
Equipped with the E3D Aero extruder for primary and secondary extruders with the configuration: main is direct drive, secondary is direct drive. Extruder drive ratio is 3:1, for power and precision. The dual print head allows the production of complex models that require support, i.e. models with internal geometry. For such jobs, the dual print head is perfectly suited, allowing you to print parallel and soluble filaments, which will later be removed with water;
The nozzles of the printer supported by the high-performance E3D V6 thermal unit (standard) Volcano are made of brass and are available in diameters: 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm. The printer can be equipped with either the E3D V6 for printing very small, highly detailed objects or the Super Volcano thermal unit, for high-speed, high-flow printing as well as printing three-dimensional objects;
