- Material Cost: ?
- Cost: 600 €
- Printing Size: 140mm x 140mm x 155mm (or 5.5"x5.5"x6.1")
- Resolution : XY = 0.0125 mm ; Z = 0,00025 mm
- Accuracy : 0.1mm (100 microns is the lowest layer height tested yet)

- Foldable !
- Based on standard/cheap 20x20mm aluminium extrusion (with 6mm slot)
- Easy to build, with few tools (the printed parts are based on a 20mm grid (for overall aesthetic and mostly to ease the design), are generally 3-4mm thick, and fit the beams in a way you have nothing to measure during the assembly
- 1.75mm Direct Driven Bowden Extruder ; fixed on the x-axis for less hysteresis and higher z-print
