, the ZYYX 3D Printer is based on
FFF technology and features include an automated levelling function, smell-free operation (most 3D printers tend to smell heavily of hot plastic) and an extruder head which is less prone to jamming.
Models
The first model was released in 2014. The ZYYX 3D Printer was designed to provide an enclosed print environment with a fan and carbon filter to scrub fumes produced by the melted filament before exhausting them into the environment. The XYYZ+ Printer was released in 2016 to introduce improvements that provided a more stable printing environment.
