It offers ±1µm motion precision, speeds up to 500 mm/s, and runs customized Klipper-based firmware with a modified OrcaSlicer that includes AI-driven print settings. Add-ons include a Filament Expansion & Dry System for up to 16 colors, a thermal chamber cover, an automatic color-mixing filament maker, and an automatic print removal system. A stripped-down single-toolhead L1 variant is also offered. Both are live on Kickstarter, with the L4 Super Early Bird priced at $1,299 (MSRP $2,399) and the L1 at $1,099, with deliveries expected November 2026. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
