Virtually Limitless Build Volume

With a build volume that can be measured in feet, the Modix BIG-60 V4 boasts one of the largest build volumes in our catalog; save yourself the trouble of splitting your large 3D models into several smaller ones and print your designs in one piece.

  • Build Volume: 600mm x 600mm x 660mm (23.6in x 23.6in x 26in)
  • 3D prints hundreds of small parts at once
  • Create large 3D prints for prototyping, demonstration, or manufacturing large end-use parts

Uniform MIC-6 Buildplate with Smooth PEI

Easy 3D Print Adhesion and Print Removal

Such a large build plate necessitates excellent adhesion to ensure that even the longest 3D prints stay stuck to the build plate throughout the job while releasing with ease when finished. A precision milled MIC-6 aluminum build plate covered with a premium smooth PEI sheet does just that, all while utilizing a dual-zone AC bed heater to bring just the center to temperature or the entire build plate if necessary.

  • 1,350 Watt, AC powered bed heater for sustained 120°C bed temperature.
  • Aluminum MIC-6, milled cast build plate for the flattest build plate.
  • Smooth PEI bed sticker to ensure bed adhesion with most materials.

High Flow Griffin Print Head

Every Modix 3D printer kit comes with the new Modix Griffin Print-head. This offering consiststs of a custom extruder made by Bontech (based on the BMG model) and of a new hotend designed by Modix. 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 a faster heat transfer and compatibility with higher printing temperatures, and includes other high-quality Slice Engineering components. 

  • Upgrade PT-1000 Temperature Sensor enables printing at temptures up to 500°C
  • The new print-head design makes nozzle replacements much easier, and even allows a quick swapping of the entire filament melting subsystem.
  • Rigid mounting of the heat-block allows one-handed nozzle replacement, making it even easier to test different nozzle diameters.

Precision Motion in Every Axis

A machine this size needs heavy-duty components to keep everything running smoothly. Genuine HIWIN linear rails guide the X and Y Axes while the Z axis is guided by smooth linear rods, with an optional HIWIN rail upgrade.

  • Each HIWIN MGNW9 rail is preloaded for smooth motion.
  • 9mm genuine GATES GT2 belts and 4 SFU1204 ball screws with belted gear reduction drive the 3D printer.
  • Upgrade Z axis’ smooth rods with HIWIN MGNW9 linear rails.

Automated and Guided Bed Calibration

When you have a 3D printer bed this large you want to make sure getting a perfect first layer is easy to achieve every time. The fully automatic BL-Touch bed leveling probe works exceptionally well at measuring any dips and bumps in the build plate (even miniscule ones) and allows the firmware to compensate for these variations.

  • Genuine BL-Touch Bed Leveling Probe to measure 100 points on the bed.
  • Built-in macros guide you through the leveling routine.
  • Start from a level playing field using the bed adjustment macro

Unlimit Your 3D Printing Capabilities With The Open Filament System

The Modix BIG-60 V4 proudly supports open filament utilization, allowing you to purchase and use any filament that is compatible with the printer’s capabilities.

  • 1.75mm only with the included Griffin Print Head.

  • Griffin Hotend components are rated for 500°C and so far were verified in the printing of up to 340°C.

  • Must require a bed temperature at or below 120°C
