3D Printing without the faff or failures

The critical key to getting successful prints is a flat and level bed.
The AM Macro utilises a Tooling Plate grade, 6mm thick, aluminium bed and a class-leading automatic kinematic bed levelling system to ensure the print surface remains perfectly flat and level for every print.

The Nano is designed to mitigate the frustration of failed bed adheasion, manual bed levelling with paper, and warping issues, so that you get seamless successful prints every time.
Professional Grade Parts in any filament

A market leading 3030 Aluminium frame, linear rails, and TMC2209 stepper drivers make up an industry spec machine capable of producing professional grade components with extremely high accuracy and surface finish. The all-metal hot end, hardened steel nozzle, and direct drive geared extruder permit use of any filament including engineering grade materials such as CF Nylon and flexibles like TPU.
Truly Rapid Manufacture

The CoreXY configuration and powerful extended size NEMA17 stepper motors are teamed with a high-tech input shaping system which ensures quality is not compromised when printing at high speeds.

The AC heated bed and all-enclosed design facilitate fast warm-up times so you won’t be waiting on the machine to start jobs nor experience issues during print due to temperature fluctuations.
Full control with OctoPrint

OctoPrint is an open source 3D printer control interface which gives you full control over all aspects of the printer from a computer or your phone.

Print jobs can be sent to the printer for immediate start straight from the slicer, so no more messing around with SD cards! The print job can then be monitored from the live webcam feed on the web interface.
Designed for Maintenance and Upgrade

Modular wiring looms and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf parts facilitate easy component swap out for upgrade or maintenance. Every part can be disconnected at a standard plug without having to do any re-wiring; 3D printer maintenance has never been so easy!

The open-source design based on the RatRig and EVA tool head means you can upgrade the machine as new components are released, or customise it to your particular needs. Combine this with the 3030 B-type aluminium extrusion frame and equipment obsolescence is a thing of the past.
Packed with Extra Features

Smart Filament Sensors, Neopixel status LEDs, Automatic input-shaping calibration, live webcam feed, and the possibility for so much more!

The Neopixel LEDs clearly show the printer status and an intuitive web interface allows full remote control and monitoring of the machine.

All sensor information as well as a live webcam feed is available on the web interface, also providing print timelapse capture. The web interface is powered by Octoprint, which is a widely adopted and well supported open-source software; therefore benefiting from constant updates and a large plug-in store.
Part-Assembled Kit

The AM MACRO is delivered as a part assembled kit. This means WE do the tricky bits and leave the fun stuff for you!

All of the electronics and software is preconfigured, the wiring looms are already made, and the tool head is pre-assembled. This means you can combine the sub-asssemblies (with the help of a video guide) and get printing fast.
