If you would like to build your own 3D printer and are looking for a large size with the best possible print quality at the lowest possible price, you can not look past this DIY 3D Printer Kit.
The Felix 1.5 3D Printer is an fast, durable and reliable. Years of experience in the field of high precision mechatronics and industrial automation have led to this design. Stand out features include:
- Ultra Fine Resolution. This printer can print down a Z height of 0.05mm thats 50 mircrons!
-
Large Build Size. It includes a235x 205x200mmbuild platform, over 9.6 litres.

Reliable. Engineered with durability in mind, which keeps you printing for many many hours.
-
Easy to calibrate.The components are not mounted in an over defined way, this gives you short calibration time and get's you printing faster.
Step by Step Build Instructions
You will require technical insight, your own tools and soldering equipment.This kit comes with well documented build instructions. Allow yourself a good 20 hours and some midnight oilto build your 3D printer.

Features
-
High Accuracy: Minimum layer height of 50 micrometer (0.05mm) guaranteeing detailed prints.
-
Quiet Operation: Due to rigid frame choice and bearing type, the printer is very quiet. This makes it possible to use it comfortably on your desk
-
Durability: Only high quality and durable materials are used (aluminum and stainless steel). This ensures long lasting printing experience.
-
Easy Calibration/Maintenance:Due to the open and smart design the parts are easily accessible
-
Portable: The convenient handle makes it possible to take it everywhere.
-
Compatible with almost every CAD package: The software used to calculate a CAD file requires STL files, this is a format which almost every CAD package can export.
-
Download and print upgrades for Free: As much as possible and sensible parts are printed parts. This makes it possible to have very quick update cycles and maintain topnotch print performance. All printable upgrades can be downloaded and printed by the user. The files are already prepared so you can just download and print them.
-
Easy to use Print Software:Uses Repetier-host and comes with precalibrated Print Settings specifically for Felixprinters. It is now very userfriendly. Just install with the automatic installer and you are ready to go make your first print. - Slicing profiles included out of the box.
