Filament Runout Sensor
This will alert MatterControl to pause your print session when the spool is out of material, minimizing chances of incomplete prints.
Standard LCD Screen
Standard resolution screen that allows for printing tetherless via standard SD card and manually adjusting nozzle and heated bed capabilities. Note that you will need a standard SD card that has 2-16GB capacity and must be formatted as FAT32.
SNAP Quick-Change Tool Head System
Replace or switch between different hotend-nozzle configurations, without any tools, in a snap. Upgrading and repairing the hot extrusion just got a lot easier.
E3D V6 Hotend 1.75mm (Bowden)
The robust and reliable hotend by E3D. Capable of temperatures up to 290°C and compatible with any material that extruders below 300°C.
Hardened Steel Nozzle 0.4mm x 1.75mm
The reliable entry nozzle for printing abrasive, as well as non-abrasive, filaments.
Bondtech BMG Extruder
A reliable extruder that all but eliminates slipping, deformation, and under-extrusion. Produced by industry leaders over at Bondtech.
Capricorn - Premium Bowden Tubing
Premium quality Bowden tubing that follows stricter diameter tolerances and is formulated with additional additives that increase lubricity in order to eliminate jams, clogs, and gaps in printing.
LayerLock Garolite Bed Surface
Garolite is the go-to bed surface to succeed with Nylon, NylonX, and other nylon-based materials that is also capable of printing standard filaments like PLA.
LayerLock MagBase on Heated Bed
This magnetic base allows for build surfaces on steel plates to be detachable making print removal and build surface interchangeability a whole lot easier and convenient. The max temperature of the heated bed is 120°C.
24V Power Supply and Spool Holder
This 24V power supply easily processes any complex tasks so no missteps occur during a print job. Additionally, the spool holder intentionally extends from the power supply so there's a seamless path of filament to the extruder for reliable results.
MatterControl 3D Printer Software Including Power Recovery
This free, open-source, all-in-one software package lets you design, slice, organize, and manage your 3D prints. It contains printer settings ideal for the Pulse XE 3D printer and has helpful features such a power recovery, reloading filament mid-print, real-time modification of Z-offset, and more.
