• Precise diameter tolerance with a production capacity of up to 400 g/h.
• Extrude, calibrate, and wind filament with a footprint of 400x450mm.
• Simple and ergonomic operation, plus two extruder screws for material flexibility.
• The MK3S light version features a 3D-printed gear drive to reduce costs and help users learn how gear drives work.
• You can find more details in the product description on our website artme-3d.de.

Important to know:

• The machine is delivered as a kit for self-assembly.
• The 3D-printed parts are not included in the kit. You can find them for self-printing here on our website artme-3d.de.
