Frequently
Asked Questions
The printer is delivered as a self-assembly kit, so the components will fit through standard doors. The assembled dimensions are 1,356 x 1,445 x 1,891 mm, so please ensure your final placement area has adequate space and access.
Due to the large heated bed, the BIG-METER requires a dedicated 15A AC source for the bed heater, in addition to a standard power source for the rest of the electronics. We can provide detailed site preparation guidance.
Given the scale and complexity of the BIG-METER, we strongly recommend our professional assembly and calibration service. This ensures your machine is built to specification and optimally tuned for performance and reliability from the very first print.
