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.
LCD screen for display information - keep track of print time and extruder temperature, print speed, and adjust parameters directly on the printer.
Flexible build plate with magnetic attachment for quick release of printed parts
Marlin Inside - uses the open source and most widely used firmware in the world - Marlin, with a great support community and decent documentation
