== Technical Data ==
== Technical Data ==
=== Temperature ===
* The [[HotBed]] can be heated to any temperature up to 70°C by default, and up to 110°C if reconfigured.
* The [[MK-1]] can be heated to 260°C (limited life); we recommend sustained use at 250°C or below. PLA, PET, ABS and Nylon work well at 225-230°C
* The [[EMO-25]] prints at room temperature
* The [[VOL-25]] can be heated to 100°C
For more details about each head, see the page for that head.
=== Resolution ===
Our positional resolution is better than five microns in the X and Y (.0002”, or 2/10 of a mil or .2 mils), and better than half a micron in the Z (.0002”, or 2/100 of a mil or .02 mils)
=== Accuracy ===
Our positional accuracy is +/- 50 microns in the X and Y over an 8” travel area And +/- 20 microns in the Z over an 8” travel area
=== Repeatability ===
Our positional repeatability is about 25 microns in the X and Y (.001”, or 1 mil) And about 10 microns in the Z (.0004”, or 4/10 of a mil or 0.4 mils)
=== Layer Height ===
We have successfully printed in ABS with a 25µm (.025mm) layer height, but this is very time consuming. 
* We often use a 300µm (.3mm) layer height with the .5mm nozzle on the MK-1 for 1.75mm filaments.
* We often use a 600 µm (.6mm) layer height with the 1mm nozzle on the EMO-25 for pasty extrudables.
=== Print Speed===
The best print speed manageable (without sacrificing quality) is variable, and depends not only on the material being used and layer height, but also on how much mass is being moved in the X and Y.  We normally print at 1.5m/min, or 25mm/sec with both the MK-1 and the EMO-25
=== Build Volume ===
Engines have a build volume of 200 x 200 x 200 mm.
=== Form Factor ===
Engines are 13” wide x 15” deep (plus 7” of rear space for spool rods), and are 21” tall plus heads, which can add another 10” to the height.

Technical Data

Adjustments

  • Speed of travel (at slicing or in g-code editor)
  • Layer thickness (at slicing)
  • Volume of flow per unit distance (at slicing or in g-code editor)
  • Extruder temperature (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build) (MK-1, VOL-25)
  • Cooling Fan speed (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build (MK-1, QS-1)
  • HotBed Temperature (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build)

Or, is tabular better?

Adjustments
Metric Units During Slicing In G-Code Editor GUI During Build
Speed of Travel mm/min yes yes no
Layer Thickness mm yes no no
Flow Rate nL/sec yes yes yes
Extruder Temperature °C yes yes yes
Fan Speed % of max yes yes yes
HotBed °C yes yes yes
