Specification:

1. 220 × 220 × 250 mm (X × Y × Z) – suitable for most hobbyist and prototype prints.
2. FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) – standard filament-based 3D printing.
3. 0.4 mm brass nozzle (standard),  Max nozzle temperature: 250 °C.
4. Carborundum glass bed, Max bed temp: 100 °C. Improves first layer adhesion and smoothness.
5. 32-bit silent motherboard with TMC2208 stepper drivers – greatly reduces noise.
6. Open-source Marlin 2.0 firmware (modifiable).

Functional Features:

1. Continues printing after power loss—very useful during outages.
2. Includes a rotary colour screen with a redesigned user interface—more intuitive than the Ender 3.
3. Manual tension knobs for both X and Y axes make it easy to maintain proper tension.
4. Designed with upgrade paths in mind—popular mods include auto-bed levelling (BLTouch), direct drive extruders, and metal hotends.
