Finally a 3D printer for the layman, the 2nd generation product Asterid 2000 is an advanced additive manufacturing device capable of high resolution 3D prints. With three resolution settings (fine, medium and course) and a whopping 608 cubic inch build volume, the Asterid 2000 advanced desktop 3D printer is the simplest, fastest and cost effective tool available for making quality 3D models.
Standard Features:
- Fully assembled & tested
- Heater cartridge hot end heating element
- Build volume 8" x 8" x 9.5"
- Uses standard 1.75mm NON-proprietary plastic filament (ABS or PLA recommended)
- Strong extruded aluminum and wood frame with built-in filament spool holder
- Plate glass build surface with blue painters tape
- 120W power supply
- Open design (no outer cover or door provided)
- Z-axis Tr8*8, 4 Start, 2mm Pitch, 8mm precision trapezoidal(metric) lead screws. Pitch and diameter are a perfect combination of high torque and speed -- uniform, smooth, precise threads of superior linear motion
- X and Y-axis utilize GT2 timing belts for high efficiency and low backlash
- DRV8825 Stepper drivers feature adjustable current limiting, over-current and over-temperature protection and six micro-step resolutions (down to 1/32 step)
