3D PotterBot Scara v4 Ceramic 3D Printer

Scara V4 Ceramic 3D Printer Highlights:

Breakthrough Design: The Scara V4 is a groundbreaking large-scale ceramic 3D printer utilizing real clay. Its robust construction supports heavy loads, including the 3D Potter 4000ml clay extruder, making it our largest offering for 3D ceramic and paste printing.

User-Friendly Interface (WiFi):

• Accessible via web browser on laptops, tablets, phones, or any WiFi-capable device.
• Provides real-time print status and allows adjustments to print and extrusion speeds.
• Enables uploading, editing, and downloading of G-code files.

Software and Object Generation:

• Operates through a web browser interface, eliminating specific software requirements.
• Follows standard 3D printing protocols, requiring STL file slicing with software like Simplify3D or Cura, then loading files onto the printer's SD card, which can be done over WiFi.

Build Envelope:

• Customizable Z heights up to 9 feet and diameters up to 8.5 feet.
• Unique capability of printing 360 degrees with continuous rotation, allowing sequential printing of multiple objects within the specified envelope.

Speed and Precision:

• Capable of extreme speeds with realistic recommendations.
• Operates quietly for use in any environment.

Construction and Design:

• Precision achieved through heavy aircraft-grade 6061 aluminium and CNC components.
• Drive motors utilize hybrid closed-loop stepper motors for zero-error positioning.

Drive Mechanisms:

• Utilizes sophisticated harmonic drive units for extreme precision and rigidity, ensuring precise prints without backlash or jittery movements at realistic speeds.

Setup Requirements:

• Can be positioned on a substantial tabletop or dedicated space, requiring direct mounting for stability.
• Recommended minimum tabletop thickness for optimal performance.
