Arduino Materia 101 Assembled
Arduino Materia 101 is the ideal 3D printer to enter the 3D printing world!
Note: This page refers to a product that is retired.
Arduino Materia 101 is the first official Arduino 3D printer. It uses an Arduino Mega2560 with a shield specifically made for controlling 3D printers. It's a small machine, with a sheet metal design housing the moving parts. The design is straightforward and easy to understand, which makes it a good machine for beginners, or up-and-coming hardware hackers who want to improve and experiment. Arduino Materia 101 is an open-source machine, from the design of the mechanics to the electronics and firmware, as all Arduino products. It is fully compatible with other open-source design tools such as: Slic3r, OpenSCAD, blender with many many more.
This product comes fully assembled.
As part of the Arduino family, also Materia 101 shares an OpenSource heart. Check the following links in order to access to the great database of information we have available for you.
