Generation 4 - Technical Specification (all models):

Generation 4 widens Modix’s offering by introducing new capabilities such as printing models with internal geometries, faster printing speed, reduced post-process time, and higher reliability.

General Information

Printing Technology – FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication)
Delivery – Self-assembly kit. The assembly guide includes easy-to-follow videos and online 3D models that can be rotated and zoomed.
Unified Core concept- All our printers share the same core design based on Modix BIG-60 V4.0.
Upgrade – New versions are designed with backward compatibility in mind. Owners of Modix’s printers enjoy upgrades from time to time in both configurations and hardware.

Chassis & Enclosure

Solid 40X40 T-slot aluminum profiles
Powder coated laser cut aluminum brackets and joints
Enclosure – Closed enclosure made of 3mm black Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP). Enclosure is an optional add-on for BIG-60, BIG-120X & BIG-120Z and a default option for BIG-Meter and BIG-180X.

Electronic Controller

Duet 2 WiFi, a powerful 3D Printer controller made in the UK. Duet is a well known and widely supported electronic platform for professional 3D printers. It is made by a respectful company and it is a major factor in our ability to provide ongoing high level of quality and reliability.

Powerful 32 Bit Processor
Dedicated WiFi module with external antenna
Quiet TMC2660 stepper drivers, up to 256 micro-stepping.
High speed uSD card and support for a second external SD card if required.
Dual extruders controlled on the main board, up to 5 additional stepper motor drivers are controlled on the DUEX expansion board.
High Power rating: Each stepper driver is capable of 2.8A motor current, currently limited in software to 2.4A.
Access the printer via a PC, tablet or smartphone on a local network.
Set up and control your printer through the web interface.

Fully Automated Calibration

All our printers’ models are delivered with the electronic expansion board named Duex. This allows allocating a dedicated driver per each motor for both Z axis and X axis. As a result, Modix is now offering a full set of automated calibrations routines including:

Bed tilting calibration
Bed leveling
Gantry alignment
Z offset calibration

Interfaces

Touch Screen- 7-inch Duet3D touchscreen – integrated with the controller

Web Interface – WiFi web access for remote control from either mobile or PC allowing users to upload print files directly from their workstation

Griffin Print Head

Previously and optional upgrade and now is the default print head on all our printers, the new Griffin print-head is a major improvement to our offering. It consists of a custom extruder made by Bondtech (based on the BMG model) and of a new hotend designed by Modix. The new design comes default with every Modix printer and includes the following improvements:

High flow rate & high printing temperatures: The Bondtech extruder provides a double drive-gear system that grabs the filament from both sides. The heat-block is made of nickel-coated copper, for an increased rate of heat transfer and compatibility with higher printing temperatures. The design includes the advanced Slice Engineering Bi-Metal heat-break that extends the melting zone inside the heat-block by being mostly made of copper as well. In addition, an upgraded PT-1000 temperature sensor enables printing in higher temperatures of up to 500°c. The hotend components are rated for 500°c and so far have been verified with printing of up to 340°c.

Higher reliability: Large scale 3D printing usually involves the risk of the print-head scratching or crashing into the thick layer models resulting in bent or broken heat-breaks. The new print-head provides a rigid mounting of the heat-block, so it’s naturally more reliable and reduces these situations. The main reason for this is that the heat-block is now mounted on three faces instead of only one. It can withstand a much stronger impact thanks to this additional bracing. The longer-type Griffin High-Flow can also be attached to the rigid mounting as well.

Improved User Experience: The new print-head design makes nozzle replacements easier. The rigid mounting of the heat-block allows one handed nozzle replacement, making it even easier to change to different nozzle diameters.

Easy Swap: The design of the mounting bracket and the D shaft style of the Slice Engineering heat-break gives users the ability to replace the entire filament melting subsystem with ease. This will allow users to dedicate a complete setup for a specific filament type. i.e., keeping one setup for abrasive carbon filled filament and another for prototyping with PLA.

Compact Design: The new design maintains the previous design benefits of compact design that preserves the generous Z-axis travel and is compatible with the vast offering of E3D Volcano nozzles coming in numerous sizes and materials.

Smart: The new print-head allows automatic Z off-set calibration between the nozzle and the BL Touch probe. This is easier and more precise than the manual procedure. A dedicated sensor allows the BL-Touch and the nozzle to touch the surface, consequently. The precise relative distance between the probe and the nozzle (“Z-offset”) is saved automatically to the printer.

*The brass nozzle needs to be replaced with a higher-temperature capable nozzle as well for temperatures above 300c

* Different hotends and print head configurations may affect the max available printing volume in the Y axis direction (max 2cm).

IDEX dual printing add-on

“IDEX” stands for independent dual extruder, where each extruder is capable of moving independently from each other. As a result, while the active extruder is printing, the second extruder is “parked” outside the printing area. Therefore, dual material printing made with IDEX technology comes out cleaner and with higher success ratios in comparison to other configurations as such the two print heads are installed side by side on the same carriage.

IDEX allows printing of advanced models that have internal geometries by using water-soluble filament. In addition, printing the dense support layers (interface layers between the model and the solid support structure) with a breakaway support filament, saves a lot of manual labor for support removal. In addition, since there is no need to keep air gap between the dense support and the model itself as normally happened when using the same material for support, the supported bottom surface of the models comes out clean and smooth. This saves a lot of time needed usually for sanding during the post process.

The IDEX is sold as an optional add-on for all generation 4 printers. includes:

Secondary printing subsystem: Griffin print head, clog detector, PTFE, spool mount.
Motion system: secondary Y axis motor with the required components (belts, pulleys etc.).
Metal brackets for both Y axis and print heads
Wires, drag chains and optical end-stops.

Automatic Filament Changer

Modix’s IDEX can also be used as an automatic filament changer. When using the same filament on both print heads, the printer will be able to switch between the print heads automatically once one the printer detects a filament run-out.
Here are the benefits:

Get prints faster – One of the biggest challenges of 3D printing is the need to constantly monitor and maintain the printer. This can be especially frustrating when the machine has to sit idle overnight while waiting to be fed with a new filament spool. That’s where the Modix IDEX Filament Changer comes in. This clever technology allows the printer to switch out filament spools on its own, without having to pause its operation and wait. That means you can keep your printer running around the clock, without losing time on waiting for someone to service it.

Improved print quality – Not only does the Modix IDEX Filament Changer save you time, but it also helps to improve the quality of your prints. By not having to open the enclosure for service, the printer is able to maintain its chamber’s temperature, preventing the partly printed model from shrinking. This allows you to produce higher quality prints with fewer defects. If you want to take your 3D printing to the next level, be sure to check out the Modix IDEX add-on.

Griffin High-Flow Hotend

Griffin High-Flow Hotend is an optional add-on designed for customers who print large bulky objects and need to print fast. It is also an excellent choice for printing thick vase mode style objects since the single walled objects are stronger.

This add-on is provided with 80W heater and a thermistor. The new addition is now delivered with a mounting CNC made bracket. This mounting protects and stabilizes the long heatblock during printing. As a result it provides high print quality as vibrations are minimized during accelerations.
