Description

We have developed a unique algorithm that can automatically compensates for the filament shadow on the CCD sensor even if the filament moves at different heights and angles.

Flow rate adjust: adjust the flow rate in real time

Jam/Runout: Pause the printer while jam or runout (laser motion sensor chip)

Width Accuracy: +/- 0.015mm (high resolution 0.005mm ccd sensor chip)

Connection: USB or I2C

No calibration required

firmware update from the usb
