At current commodity prices, it is expected to be available at a net consumer price of €500, but this is subject to change.

Of course, following all applicable laws, we offer a 2-year warranty on our machines. We guarantee against defects in use within two years of purchase.

Thanks to Model 1's interchangeable nozzle, it can produce the two most common diameter types, 1.75mm and 2.85mm in diameter filament.

Model 1 does not add colorant to the filament, so the color of the filament produced is the same as the color of the PET bottle used. This allows us to create even rainbow filaments in our otto using different bottles of different colors.

A frequently asked question is what type of filament Model 1 produces, possibly whether PLA will be the end product.

Model 1 does not change the material composition, so the material of the filament will also be PET.

The characteristics of PET filament are similar to those of PET-G, but they need to be printed at stiffer and higher temperatures. The properties of PET are halfway between PET-G and ABS, so it should be used appropriately. It is not as difficult to print as ABS, it does not require a closed printer space, but it should be printed at a higher temperature (250/100) than PET-G, preferably with a nozzle size of up to 0.8-1 mm.
