What it can do

Functional parts, enclosures, fixtures, and household objects in PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, TPU, and carbon-filled blends. Typical layer heights 0.1–0.3 mm; typical dimensional tolerance around ±0.2 mm on a tuned machine.

Known limits: strength is anisotropic (parts are weakest across layer lines), fine detail below ~0.4 mm features is unreliable, and overhangs past ~55° need support material.
