•  Heat-break performance optimized with finite elements analysis for extreme temperature gradient to ensure clogless free printing experience.

•  Unique tensioning mechanism with elastic predefined tension levels

•  Frameless recessed fan to reduce the extruder weight and outside dimension

•  Large RNC coated dual drive gears with planetary gear reduction, similar to orbiter v2.0

•  New precision main shaft design to reduce gear eccentricity.

•  Full aluminum housing with Delrin plastic gears for low noise and long lifetime

•  The smart feature – integrated electronics with filament sensor and auto loading.
