Modix 3D Printers

Generation 4 - What's new

Generation 4 widens Modix’s offering by introducing new capabilities such as printing models with internal geometries, faster printing speed, reduced post process time and higher reliability.

Highlights:

• Improved enclosure rigidity, accessibility, and performance
• Duet 5 board now included for fully automated calibration
• Redesign Direct Drive toolhead and now IDEX ready platform
• Improved motion system, stronger Nema-23 motors, and CNC machined brackets support increased speeds compared to Modix V3 kits.

High Quality

One of the most significant advantages of Modix’s large scale 3D printers are its meticulously selected premium components, each contributes for the high quality printing. These components include: Bondtech extruder (made in Sweden) E3D nozzles (made in the UK), DUET3D Controller (made in the UK), Trinamic motor drivers (made in Germany), IGUS shielded signal and power wires (made in Germany), Alcoa Mic-6 cast Aluminum plate (Made in USA), Meanwell Power Supply (Made in Taiwan) and more. Almost every component in Modix's large format 3D printers affects the print quality and reliability; therefore, Modix selects the highest standard of components for even the smallest parts, i.e. aviation grade power adapters, robust casters, fiberglass reinforced belts, etc.

Heavy Duty

A key design factor in Modix large scale printers is the heavy duty design. Since their printers are delivered as self-assembly kits, Modix focuses great attention on making sure that the end-customer will achieve the highest level of accuracy and stable calibration. This includes a very detailed online assembly guide with both 3D models you can rotate and zoom, multiple detailed video guides for each step, and more. In addition, Modix supplies customers with calibration methods & tools that help complete this process successfully and smoothly as possible.

Redesigned Print-head

Modix Generation 4 Printers are now better equipped for speed, precision and thanks to direct drive- a wider array of materials. Large format printers with Bowden type extruders often have difficulty feeding due to the increased distance from extruder to hotend. Gen 4 Modix printers come equipped with Bondtech BMG direct drive units made custom for Modix Large format printers. The new print-head combines superior extrusion with the now standard Griffin hot-end for a wonderful balance of highflow, precision, and ease of maintenance.

IDEX Ready

IDEX dual print head technology enables printing models with internal geometries using a soluble support filament. Once completed, you can dissolve the support material and enjoy high quality results and avoid the tedious manual support removal. Using breakaway support, you can enjoy a fast support removal immediately after the print has completed. In addition you can enjoy smooth surface finish for the bottom surfaces. With secondary support filament, you can keep zero distance between the dense support layers and the model itself, the surface finish is therefore much smoother than when printing support of the same material.

Customizable Platform

Modularity is Modix's flagship principle. They constantly make optional components available that can be added on to the printer seamlessly. This includes air filters, multiple print head configurations, and much more. Modix lists several optional customization guides including: converting the printer for 2.85mm filament, increasing the maximum hotend temperature, and more. Furthermore, several printers offer the closed enclosure as an upgrade option to better match you budget and needs.

Wide Selection

Modix's Griffin print head offers a large selection of nozzles and heat block configurations. Modix offers three sizes of heat-blocks: The default high-flow Griffin hot-end, the short E3D-V6 hotend for detailed fine printing, and E3D Super Volcano for rough and fast bulky projects. Each of the heat-blocks have several nozzle options. A few are offered as part of your Modix kit and others can be found here e3D - 3D Printer Parts. e3D also offers solutions for high temperature printing, printing with abrasive filaments such a Carbon Fiber filled polymers etc.

Open Architecture

Modix users are not locked in to one brand of filament, slicer, part manufacturer, or anything else! Modix believes in the freedom of choice, especially for passionate innovators. Users can select filament from any source and make a use of various modeling and slicing software solutions, to their own preference. Modix recommends Simplify3D slicing software but Cura and Slic3r work nicely as well and are compatible with Modix printers. Customers are supplied with print profiles for each of these slicing software packages.

Future Ready

We are evolving and innovating all the time, so when you purchase a Modix 3D printer, you actually invest in a platform that can be upgraded from time to time. Owners of earlier versions are now being offered with the benefits of Modix's newest version (Generation 4.0). This alone improves the printer’s long-term sustainable use and increases your return on your investment.

Advantages of Large Format Printers

Experienced 3d printing users who already have one or more small desktop 3d printer and are now seeking to develop their printing capabilities, should consider the following unique advantages of large format 3D printers:

1. Printing large, one piece 3D models makes them stronger.
2. Printing models as one part also saves time on post processing. There is no need to match smaller parts to each other or try to hide the seam.
3. Another unique advantage of larger print beds is the fact you can print multiple smaller items in one batch production. Batch production can be configured to complete one object before starting another one (‘sequence printing’) for higher reliability.

Especially during these days, as ordinary supply chains and logistics are facing challenges and are uncertain, it is important to have a large 3d printer on hand.

Premium Support Since 2015

Modix is proud of its prompt and professional support services! We believe that any product is as good as its service and since their early days back in 2015, Modix has worked hard to follow that concept. Requests for assistance are cleared daily. Video conference sessions can be scheduled when needed to better understand the ground situation. This saves time in both understanding the problem and finding the solution.
