Figure 1: Theorecal maximum build volume shown from the top and side view when using the Temperature-controlled Printhead.
Exact build volume depends on the cartridge’s posion in the printhead and the nozzle/needle used. Build volume may be lower when
combining the Temperature-controlled Printhead with a printhead that restricts printbox movement. Please consult the printhead
manual for the printheads being used for specic limitaons.
