IDEX dual printing add-on

“IDEX” stands for independent dual extruder, where each extruder is capable of moving independently from
each other. As a result, while the active extruder is printing, the second extruder is “parked” outside the printing
area. Therefore, dual material printing made with IDEX technology comes out cleaner and with higher success
ratios in comparison to other configurations as such the two print heads are installed side by side on the same
carriage.

IDEX allows printing of advanced models that have internal geometries by using water-soluble filament.
In addition, printing the dense support layers (interface layers between the model and the solid support structure)
with a breakaway support filament, saves a lot of manual labor for support removal. In addition, since there is no
need to keep air gap between the dense support and the model itself as normally happened when using the same
material for support, the supported bottom surface of the models comes out clean and smooth. This saves a lot
of time needed usually for sanding during the post process.

The IDEX is sold as an optional add-on for all generation 4 printers. includes:

• Secondary printing subsystem: Griffin print head, clog detector, PTFE, spool mount.
• Motion system: secondary Y axis motor with the required components (belts, pulleys etc.).
• Metal brackets for both Y axis and print heads
• Wires, drag chains and optical end-stops.

Super High Flow Hotend

Super volcano hotend high flow is an optional add-on designed for customers who print large bulky objects and need to print fast.
It is also an excellent choice for printing thick vase mode style objects since the single walled objects are stronger.

This add-on is based on the E3D super volcano heat-block and nozzles. It is provided with 80W heater and a thermistor. The new
addition is now delivered with a mounting CNC made bracket. This mounting protects and stabilizes the long heatblock during printing.
As a result it provides high print quality as vibrations are minimized during accelerations.

Includes:

• • E3D SuperVolcano heater block
  • 1mm nozzle brass nozzle
  • Slice Engineering bi-metal heat-break
  • 80W heater
  • CNC adapter
  • Blower Fan & duct

Tilt Screen & Emergency Button & Frontal Power switch

This trio feature combo is available as standard for BIG-Meter and BIG-120Z and offered as an add-on for the rest
of the printers.

Tilt Screen – Mounted on an articulated arm, the tilt screen is a convenience feature. It is very useful during print
head calibration process and other maintenance routines as you can always turn the face towards you. Left right,
upwards or downwards.

Emergency Reset Button – Together with the tilt screen update, an emergency reset (software reset) button is
now located on the front of the machine. This control and safety feature will allow you to immediately stop prints
whenever needed.

Frontal Power Switch –easy to reach power on/off button. Useful when the printer is installed in a tight corner.
 

Removable Magnetic Bed

This add-on will greatly improve the user experience and save you time on a daily basis.  Modix’s printers
are delivered by default with a PEI sheet that releases the print once the bed is cooled down to room temperature.
With the removable magnetic bed add-on, users do not need to wait or work hard with a spatula and can easily
and immediately remove objects after completing the print job by simply bending the spring steel plate.

This add-on includes an adhesive magnetic sheet that should be fixed to the aluminum bed plate and a
removable spring steel plate that should be placed on top of it.
The flexible spring steel plate can be printed on from both sides. One side is PEI powder coated providing
textured bottom surface and the other side is serviced with a smooth PEI sheet providing a glossy bottom finish.

Another advantage is with maintenance, the PEI installed on the bed plate can degrade over time. Print removal
with a spatula may result in unwanted scratches that later appear at the bottom of the printed object. Replacing the
PEI on the removable spring steel or even buying a spare unit is much easier than removing it from the bed plate itself.

Active Air Filter

The Modix Active Air Filter (MAAF) is an external air filter device. The filter cleanses the printers’ chamber
by capturing micro-particles and gas fumes that are released from melted filament throughout the 3D printing
process. MAAF provides a constant air cleansing process during the entire printing process, circulating the air
in and out and back into the printer while cleaning it repeatedly.

Multi-layer filtering
A large fan inside the device draws the air from the printer through a flexible vent tube connected to the top
of the device. The air is then guided through a set of three filters before it is circulated back into the printer.

The triple filter system includes
1. Pre-Filter – Remove large dust particles from the air.
2. HEPA Filter – High-Efficiency Particulate Absorbing (HEPA) filter, composed of a mat of randomly arranged
fiberglass fibers designed to capture tiny particles released during printing.
3. Active Carbon Filter – Clean the air from toxic fumes released during the 3D printing process.

It is about your health!
Sub-micron particles and fumes released during the plastic melting process pose risk to your health. Therefore,
every owner of a Modix 3D printer is strongly advised to install an air filter.  Air filter is a MUST-HAVE add-on
if you intend to print with any plastic beyond PLA, i.e. PETG, ABS… Although common knowledge is that printing
PLA in a well-ventilated room is fine, there is no clear definition of proper room ventilation and during the winter
and summer times windows are normally closed.

Controlling the air speed
Frontal speed selector allows controlling the air flow speed. Running the filter on the lowest speed during the
printing process will not affect the internal chamber temperature while providing effective filtering. By the end
of the printing, you can set the speed for the highest option for a few minutes in order to ensure the complete
chamber has been cleaned of any harmful additives opening the doors.

Spare Filters
Considering the daily use of the printer in a clean room, the HEPA/Carbon combo filters last from 6 to12 months
and the pre-filter from 3 to 6 months. An alert indicator to change the is located on the front panel.

Power Distribution Unit (PDU)

PDU is included by default with the BIG-Meter and BIG-180X due to their high current drawing requirements. Since
we have found it to be a very convenient cable management solution, it is now offered for all other models*. Replace
3 AC cables with only one cable connected to the wall.

* This solution does not support BIG-120X running on 110V, please contact the sales team for an alternative solution.
 

8KG Spools Mounting Shelf Add-on

A refreshed design of the spool mounting shelf will now enable mounting 8KG
