Removable Magnetic Print Bed

The print bed is magnetic now, meaning you can peel it off and flex it and get your prints to snap off. It’s supposed to make getting your prints off the production area and into your life just a little bit easier, hopefully cutting out angry, sweaty scraping – or at least some of that.

Sometimes these sorts of beds can be a bit annoying, actually, so whether or not this will be a real improvement remains to be seen. We don’t need to see how big the bed will actually be though, as there’s no change in size here from the original Mega Zero.

Build Volume

The Mega Zero 2.0 retains the same build volume as its forerunner at 220 x 220 x 250 mm. No change there. Other non-changes include layer resolution and positioning accuracy which remain as found in the original Mega Zero.

Heated Print Bed

Yeah, you guessed it, the print bed is now heated. It can go up to 110 C, meaning that you shouldn’t have to worry about things not sticking well enough to your bed anymore. That also means you can print with more types of filament than you might have been able to on the original Mega Zero, if that’s what you’d like to do.

It’s worth noting that the temperature that the nozzle can heat up to has not changed at all, and keeps its maximum temperature of 255 C. But, the bed might help you get some ABS, PETG, and Wood prints out.

Single Y-Axis Rail

Well, we’re not exactly sure of the benefits of this change to the Mega Zero’s body. Perhaps it’ll make it a bit easier to get to the knobs that control the height of the bed, so bed adjustments can be made without squishing your hand into a smaller space.

Double Gear Extrusion

A Bondtech-like dual-gear extruder was part of the initial kit for the first Mega Zero. This continues here. A more muscular, powerful and consistent extruder, this extruder lessens the likelihood and slippage and should prove reliable over time while potentially also being a little better at feeding the more challenging filaments.
