Extensive development and testing have made the V4 an affordable, reliable and versatile 3D printer for home or education use. The V4 uses the well established Fused Filament Fabrication additive manufacturing technique. Allowing it to build accurate and robust physical models in ABS and PLA thermoplastics.

Specification:

• Maximum Physical Dimensions (w x d x h cm): 43 x 34 x 37.5 (47 with graphical controller)
• Operating space required: 43 x  47.5 x  47 cm
• Mass: 4.6 kg (5.0 kg with graphical controller)
• Actual Build volume: 176 x 176 x 150 mm
• Build Platform: 2mm glass print surface, Heated Bed included to increase bed adhesion and reduce print warping, Kapton tape is included for printing ABS (it further increases bed adhesion)
• Interfaces: USB - PC, Mac and Linux compatible. Printing from SD card via Graphical Controller (option)
• Mechanics: T316 marine grade stainless steel linear rods, linear and axial ball bearings throughout, alloy pulleys and GT2 timing belts for x and y axes
• Resolution: X&Y - 0.0125 mm, Z - 0.0004 mm. Z layer height from 0.1mm (fine) to 0.25mm (normal)
• Accuracy: better than 0.13 mm
• Plastic compatibility: 1.75mm Openspool Filament (widely and cheaply available via EBay etc - you are not tied to a specific brand). Tested with (and print profiles provided for) ABS and PLA
• Print Nozzle: 0.4mm
• Software: The V4 comes with a pre-configured open source software suite on an SD card: Marlin Firmware, Pronterface to control the printer from your PC and Slic3r to make your 3D models ready to print. Drivers are included for PC, Mac and Linux.

Be Unique, Choose Your Colours:

We’re confident that with the V4 printer you’re going to create some pretty amazing and unique things so why not make your printer your own too? With the V4 you can choose from 11 colours for the plastic parts and 4 colours for the frame, 44 combinations. This customisation comes at no extra cost, just tell us what you’d like when ordering.
