Mini-V is a compact core-xy printer with a build volume of 180mm³ using 2020 extrusions. The printer is designed to maximize print volume with a minimal footprint.
October 2024 Update: We gathered a ton of great feedback from the Mini-V Group Build in Reno at VICE 2024. We have multiple builders sending in tips and feedback. We also now have full assembly CAD and a build guide available. Enjoy!
