3D PotterBot Scara Mini v1 Ceramic 3D Printer

The 3D Potterbot Scara Mini v1 is the smallest model in the Scara lineup, offering full functionality within confined spaces. Despite its size, it's capable of large-scale ceramic 3D printing using real clay, accommodating accessories like the 3D Potter 3600ml clay extruder or a hose assembly.

User interface (WiFi)
The user interface, Duet Web Control, accessible via WiFi, provides a fully developed UI accessible on various devices, including laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Print Status
Once a print is started, it shows information about the model being printed. Layer times, estimated time remaining, file information, and more are available for view. It also allows for print and extrusion speed control to be adjusted in real time.

G-Code Files
The G-Code Files page allows g-code files for printing to be uploaded, edited, or downloaded. A summary of the file is given such as size, layer height, and what the file was generated by.

Software and Object Generation:

• No software requirements; operates through a web browser interface.
• Object generation follows the standard process: STL file slicing with third-party software like Simplify3D or Cura, followed by file transfer to the printer's SD card via WiFi.

Build Envelope:

• Capable of printing 360 degrees with continuous rotation.
• Unique ability to print multiple objects within the specified envelope in sequential mode.

Speed and Noise:

• Capable of extreme speeds, with realistic speed recommendation of under 130 mm/s.
• Operates quietly, suitable for use in any environment.

Construction and Design:

• Precision design and robust construction with heavy aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum and CNC components.
• Main rail components sourced from IGUS for precision.
• Drive motors consist of advanced hybrid closed-loop stepper motors for zero error positioning.

Space Needed for Setup:

• Can be positioned on a substantial tabletop or dedicated space.
• Requires direct mounting for stability, achieved with multiple screws.
• Minimum tabletop thickness of 1.5" heavy plywood or wood construction is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
