#Automatic bed leveling - using an inductive height sensor, the D3D Universal does the bed leveling for you so that the first layer attaches firmly to the print bed.

All you need to do is to turn a knob on the control panel until the nozzle prints exactly on the surface.

  1. Automatic bed leveling - using an inductive height sensor, the D3D Universal does the bed leveling for you so that the first layer attaches firmly to the print bed. No need for an involved calibration procedure - just print without doing any adjustment and the printer probes the bed at 4 points to determine the level of the bed. All you need to do is to turn a knob on the control panel until the nozzle prints exactly on the surface.
  2. Flexible build plate with magnetic attachment for quick release of printed parts
  3. Large Heater Block - D3D Universal ships stock with the Volcano heater block and 1.2 nozzle for fast printing and stronger prints for prototyping and production. Also comes with 0.8 and 0.4 nozzles.
  4. OSE's unique Universal Extruder design. Which filament to use - 1.75 or 3 mm? Both! Our unique design works well with both 1.75 and 3 mm filament, and its ClogFree design of an exposed filament path allows for clogs to be cleared in seconds.
  5. Print extrusion rate is up to 5 lb/day is higher than most consumer printers. Compare to Ultimaker or Prusa, with their 2 lb/day max.
  6. Uses the Universal Axis.
  7. LCD screen for display information - keep track of print time and extruder temperature, print speed, and adjust parameters directly on the printer.
  1. Marlin Inside - uses the open source and most widely used firmware in the world - Marlin, with a great support community and decent documentation

General

  • FreeCAD inside - full part libraries and CAD is available in FreeCAD.
  • Powered by MediaWiki - full documentation on the OSE wiki, including complete Bill of Materials, build instructions, and
  • RAMPS Inside -
  • Start and print - Requires no calibration out of the box. One-step babystepping correction sets print head height on first run, and automatic bed leveling probe does the rest.
  • Powered by the Universal Axis scalable robotic motion system
  • Powered by the Universal Controller scalable control hardware
  • Ready upgrade to 12"x12" print bed
  • Interchangeable tool heads - comes with a pen plotter attachment that connects in seconds with one bolt
  • Universal Controller can be upgraded readily to power larger machines
  • OSE Lifetime Design Guarantee, and OSE Unlimited Lifetime Warranty
  • Powered by Arduino clones
  • Powering the GVCS - TED Talk
  • Open Source Appropriate Technology
  • Industrial productivity on a small scale - stock with 1.2 mm nozzle, and printed on a 1.2 nozzle.
  • Flexible plate with magnetic quick attach to printer for quick print removal - uses 0.6 mm spring steel that you twist and print comes right off.
  • BuildTak inside -
  • Uses Lulzbot Cura FSF certified software.
