STACKER: Commercial-Grade 3D Printer Featuring 4 Extruders

STACKER, an affordable commercial-grade 3D printer featuring four extruders, has just been launched on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter a couple of days ago and is already beyond its funding goal.

The FDM device can 3D print four objects at the same time, while each part can be up to 24 in (60 cm) tall due to the expandable Z-axis. It is equipped with hybrid hot ends, which are optimised to extrude high tech composite filaments. The universal filament rail was not only designed for easy and fast loading but also holds any filament on the market, so you are not restricted in your choice of material.

With this affordable 4-head desktop printer, Stacker LLC targets professionals, makers, scientists, teachers, entrepreneurs and established business owners. “3D printing is too important a technology for anyone to be left behind. That’s why we made STACKER affordable,” the company explains.
