Actively heated 65 °C chamber and a 370 °C hotend: this prints PPS-CF, PEI and nylon properly, not just "technically". Open Klipper underneath.
Best for: Nylon, PC and carbon-filled engineering filaments.

What we don't
- Overkill unless you print engineering materials
- Bulky and heavy
- Fans are audible

Specifications are the manufacturer's published figures. "Max speed" is a peak that no printer holds across a whole part, so use it for comparison and don't expect it in real print times.
