The Adventurer 3's structure is compact and lightweight, so transporting it is not a problem. This is perfect for homes and other places where the equipment needs to be stored after use due to lack of space. 

Ease of use

One of the most outstanding features of this 3D printer is its ease of use. The user-friendly interface design and powerful functions make this printer very easy to use and allow even novice users to achieve great results.

Some of the features that facilitate the use of this 3D printer are the following:

• User-friendly interface: The 2.8 inch colour touch screen makes every action visible. In addition, the user can follow the printing status in real time.
• Automatic filament feeding: Adventurer 3 features automatic filament loading/unloading options that allow the printer itself to carry out this process when these options are selected.
• Quick nozzle change: Thanks to the hotend design, the nozzle can be changed quickly and easily in just three steps.
• Flexible printing surface: Adventurer3 is equipped with a removable, flexible printing surface that allows for easy removal of 3D printed parts without the risk of damaging the surface or the printed part.
• Automatic levelling: The process of levelling the printing surface is one of the most important steps in achieving high quality prints. Automatic levelling ensures optimal levelling for every print.
