able to print 1,75mm filament because of molten plastic reaching and blocking the cold-end of the nozzle, tested)
• Settings are completely customizable in the Cura software by the
user, making it quite versatile machine for experienced users. Other softwares could also be used for slicing, such as Slic3r. Besides
this, the generated gcode can be customized manually. There are
many materials available. PLA and ABS are the most common materials.
