Print fast with exceptional quality
A1 can print at 500mm/s with the top acceleration at 10000 mm/s. It prints a benchy in 14 minutes following all the rules.
The A1 performs vibration calibration for both the X and Y axes at the beginning of every print to ensure high-speed printing accuracy. Unlike other printers in the market which use preset values that remain unchanged, the A1 calibrates the values before every print,
taking into account the tension of the printer and the temperature of the environment. This ensures the accuracy of vibration compensation.
An Eddy Current sensor is implemented at the hotend to measure the extrusion pressure. This actively compensates the extrusion flow rate, ensuring stable extrusion throughout the printing process.
Full-Auto calibration
Full auto calibration requires no manual adjustments with active flow rate compensation for beautiful prints.
Easy to maintain
The A1 features a Quick Swap Hotend. There is only one clip to remove for hotend removal. The entire hotend swap process can be completed in less than 30 seconds, and no electronic connector is involved
