How to read these numbers
- Speed and acceleration are the maker's claimed maximums. They describe how fast the head can move, not how fast the machine prints well. Real speed is capped by how much plastic the hotend can melt. See the volumetric flow calculator.
- Max nozzle temperature decides which materials are possible. Going by the makers' data sheets in our temperature table, 260 °C covers PLA, PETG and TPU, ABS and ASA run up to 270 °C, and nylon, carbon-fibre nylon and polycarbonate reach 290 to 300 °C. Most of that second group also needs an enclosure.
- Build volume is the stated maximum. Purge lines, skirts and multi-colour hardware can reduce the usable area.
- Every spec comes from the manufacturer. We compare what is published and do not bench-test the printers ourselves.
