Constructional Kit: Professional

After a big success of the first 3D printer K8200, we are introducing the next generation Velleman 3D printer kit – Vertex (K8400). Easy, accurate, affordable & open source – are the main advantages of this new 3D printer.

The next generation of 3D printer. Following the K8200 the "Most hackable 3D printer", Velleman now introduce the new K8400 3D printer with the capability of printing with TWO filaments via TWO 0.35mm Nozzles. Supplied in a similar robust construction featuring transparent wall protection and integrated SD card reader & controller (also controllable via USB interface). The Vertex is the next generation of Easy, Accurate, affordable and Open Source 3D printer self assembly kit. Removable build plate & second extruder nozzle available as optional extras.

There are plenty of new features that make this printer extraordinary:

No soldering required
Modern housing
Prints PLA, ABS – open filament policy
PLA 1,75mm – ensures finer layers of printed object
Nozzle 0,35 mm - possibility to use second nozzle (optional)
