Campaign Story

M-One brings creativity right to your desktop

We found the 3D printing machines for designers had either not enough resolution or were too large in size, while still requiring professional skills and a very complex process to operate. So we started to develop an affordable, high detail desktop-size printer, that is reliable, easy to use, and perfect for companies and personal use. Hence the M-One was born!

At the same time, we plan for the M-One to be an open-source project, to create and foster a community of high resolution 3D printing, working together to make M-One the best it can be.

MakeX team has paid great attention to make M-One elegant and with excellent mechanism organization for user convenience. To achieve the level of simplicity in the user experience and confidence in M-One’s performance, we have specially designed a straightforward and highly integrated system.

  • Elegant design – A compact size of 380x320x490mm(14.9″x12.6″x19.3″), allowing you to easily place M-One on any table. It’s round rectangle body shape and vertical sliding mask make it the most beautiful DLP Desktop 3D Printer.
  • Suitable Build Area- With a 145x110x170mm(5.7″x4.3″x6.7″) building volume, M-One is great for jewelry, prototype building, hobby crafts, and many other uses.(Yi Yuan coin is the same size as a quarter)
  • Incredibly fine detail- Up to 20 micron layer thickness, and 140 micron min. feature size, gives you the most detailed and complex model ever. Free your imagination.
  • Fast Output- Faster printing speed, less waiting time, brings your design from concept to reality within a few hours. Suggested printing speed is 2.5cm(1″) per hour*

POWERFUL SOFTWARE SYSTEM

M-One has a simple and user-friendly software operation. We developed our software independently and are proud to present several fascinating functions as introduced below.

  • Hollow – This function makes a solid object hollow to a specified shell thickness, so that the resin required for the object is reduced and the vat can have a longer service life.
HIGHER SUCCESS RATE(1.tilt motion 2. flex vat)

We developed our tilt mechanism and patent-pending soft vat system, to achieve a higher printing success rate.

  • Tilt motion- M-One’s system offers a tilt mechanism as our demoulding solution, eliminating the vacuum force in the demoulding process.

COST EFFECTIVENESS

Expense after purchasing a 3D printer is always a pain for users. M-One developed several ways to keep the cost to as little as possible. These include the material selection, software modification, and vat life optimization.

  • Multi-material support- M-One supports all third-party material. We have tested several stable resins for M-One with various properties. We offer SubG+ from our official supplier MakerJuice. The resin is available from as low as $45/L. (MS resin from madesolid is also recommended as it works perfectly with M-One)

We are ready for full production

We have already developed fully functional prototypes from our manufacturing factory. We are testing and building the final version to verify its stability, to be sure every detail is perfect.

We are checking every part on M-One to optimize the design and functionality, including testing of the final PCB revision, as well as other electronic components, to achieve the best performance of M-One. We have begun testing the new assembly to finalize the design for mass-production.

Beta software has been developed and tested on M-One with full functionality. More tests will be run to achieve the optimal performance, and the codes simplified to achieve the best efficiency.

We plan to deliver the first rewards of M-One printers by November. The mass production phase will start as soon as we get funded on Kickstarter. We need your support to take M-One into next stage, to start an opensource revolution in the high resolution 3D Printing community!
