In recent years, 3D printing has evolved from a niche technology primarily associated with rapid prototyping and engineering into an essential creative tool widely embraced by artists, designers, and makers. Within this expanding creative landscape, manufacturers have increasingly tailored their technologies toward the specific needs of artists and professional creatives, offering machines that balance ease of use, precision, and versatility.

Artillery, an increasingly prominent name in the prosumer 3D printing sector, has consistently positioned itself as a company attentive to the nuanced requirements of creative professionals and hobbyists looking for professional capabilities. With the introduction of their latest model, the Artillery M1 Pro, the company aims to reinforce this commitment by integrating high-speed performance, professional-level precision, and artist-friendly usability into a single robust device.

Let’s learn more about the features and specs behind the new Artillery M1 Pro.

Features of the Artillery M1 Pro

The Artillery M1 Pro represents a modern entry into the advanced consumer-level 3D printing market. Designed to bridge the gap between beginner-friendly usability and professional-quality results, the M1 Pro printer integrates cutting-edge features that are tailored towards reliability, high speed, and high precision printing. Built with sturdy construction and user-friendly features, the printer caters to a wide spectrum of users, from novices and educators to experienced enthusiasts and small businesses.

The Artillery M1 Pro is distinguished by its robust set of features, which emphasize performance, ease of use, and flexibility.

The Artillery M1 Pro boasts a remarkable maximum printing speed of 600mm/s, supported by an exceptional maximum acceleration of 20,000 mm/s². Combined with a printing accuracy of ±0.1mm, users can expect fast and highly detailed prints, allowing rapid prototyping and timely production.

To support a wide range of filament types, the M1 Pro incorporates an all-metal hotend capable of reaching a maximum temperature of 320°C, and a hardened steel nozzle available in several diameters: standard 0.4mm, and optional 0.2mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm. This design is particularly well-suited for abrasive and specialized filaments such as carbon fiber-reinforced materials.

The Artillery M1 Pro accommodates a broad array of filaments, including PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, ASA, PC, and a variety of carbon fiber-enhanced materials. This material versatility positions the M1 Pro as a versatile tool suitable for diverse projects and applications.

An integrated AI camera enhances the printing process by offering advanced functionalities such as real-time time-lapse recording, spaghetti detection (identifying when prints fail or filament becomes tangled), and foreign object detection, significantly improving the overall reliability and user experience.

The printer’s enclosed chamber maintains temperatures up to 60°C, ensuring consistent conditions ideal for materials sensitive to temperature fluctuations. The enclosed design, with ABS and glass panels, reduces warping and improves print reliability.

Interaction with the printer is facilitated through a responsive 4.3-inch touchscreen interface. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, enabling convenient remote monitoring and management. Software updates can be applied via Over-The-Air (OTA) updates or an SD card, simplifying maintenance and feature enhancement.

To further enhance usability, the M1 Pro includes automatic leveling for accurate bed calibration, filament run-out detection, and empty print detection to prevent failed prints due to unforeseen filament issues.

The M1 Pro features closed-loop controlled hotend, chamber temperature regulator, and auxiliary cooling fans. A honeycomb activated carbon filter is integrated for effective internal and external air circulation, improving air quality around the printer during operation.

The printer frame combines die-cast aluminum and aluminum profiles, ensuring stability during operation. Its modular, textured PEI build plate supports rapid print removal and interchangeability to suit different print requirements, from general use to high-temperature engineering applications.

More enhancements to the Artillery 3D printing ecosystem are on the way. In August, Artillery is launching a multi-color printing box (MCM) to bolster the ability to print with multiple filaments.

Pricing

Artillery has priced the M1 Pro competitively, aiming to offer consumers a healthy dose affordability and professional-grade quality, targeting consumers seeking enhanced features and performance without a premium cost. Currently, the Artillery M1 Pro is available at:

• United States: $349
• European Union: €349

The price of the M1 Pro makes it accessible for both budget-minded hobbyists and educational institutions, as well as small businesses seeking reliable and cost-effective printing solutions.
