Details
The Felix 1.5 is an amazing fast, durable and reliable 3D printer. Years of experience in the field of high precision mechatronics and industrial automation have led to this design. It stands out because of the following features:
-
The Felix 1.5 is offered as do it yourself kit or fully assembled unit.
- Quiet operation. Due to the rigid frame, bearing type and low noise fans you can enjoy your prints come to life in peace
- Reliable. Engineered with durabiltiy in mind, which keeps you printing for many many hours.
- Extremely easy to assemble (5-12 hrs). A minimum amount of bolts have to be screwed, which saves you a lot of assembly time and annoyance
- High-tech industrial appeal. Professional appearance brought to your home.
- Rigid construction. The aluminum frame is strong enough to whithstand the highest accelerations of the moving parts. This will result in high quality prints
- Easy to calibrate. The components are not mounted in an overdefined way, this gives you short calibration time and get's you printing faster.

Customer Reviews
- Cleanest designed DIY printerReview by suraki

This is my first 3D printer.Ease of assembly Price Value Quality
There are many types of DIY 3D printer available in the market.
Before buying my criteria were:
- price
- easy assembly and maintenance
- official support and open forum
- open software environment
- no overseas transport (additional costs)
These aspects are the best fit for the Felix printer.
Before Felix 1.0 kit, the most difficult thing I've assembled my home PC was. This 3D printer clearly needs more time to be assembled and calibred, but if someone can build a PC, it can do it to (with proper tools).
The official support and the community is amazing!
I'm a happy owner. :-)
Highly recommended!
