The Yumi Model C is introducing a new era of 3D printing with its multicolour capabilities and impressive features. Available in three build sizes, this innovative printer aims to revolutionize the way creators approach their projects, offering exceptional speed and flexibility.
Currently seeking support through a crowdfunding campaign, the Yumi Model C stands out by handling up to twelve filaments at once, allowing users to create vibrant, multicoloured designs. Although it uses a single print head requiring filament cuts for color changes, it offers versatility and creativity like never before.
The printer comes in three different build volumes to cater to various needs: C235 (235 x 235 x 270 mm), C335 (335 x 335 x 400 mm), and C435 (435 x 435 x 500 mm). All models promise an impressive top print speed of 700 mm/s and can reach a maximum print bed temperature of 110°C. This enables precise, high-quality prints, enhanced by vibration compensation technology.
Additional features include Wi-Fi connectivity and an optional webcam to monitor for printing errors. Driven by the open-source Klipper firmware, users can easily operate the printer through its built-in touchscreen or a companion app. An optional Yumi Penscreen, equipped for stylus use, is available at a discounted rate during the campaign, allowing for intuitive digital painting of 3D models.
Pricing for the Yumi C235 starts at around $361, accommodating up to five colors. As with any crowdfunding endeavor, potential backers should be aware of the inherent financial risks. Nonetheless, the Yumi Model C promises an exciting leap forward in 3D printing technology, making it a noteworthy option for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
