3D Printer

Only one 3D printer is needed to complete the project, any recent FDM 3D printer able to print PLA, PETG & TPU should suffice. Although it is highly recommended to work with one of the following printers as they are supported by the project:

  • Configuration tips will be shared

  • Supported models will be made available

  • Pre-sliced .gcode files will be made available
