Non-planar 3D Printing

– Yaint


Transform your existing 3D printer into a non-planar printing device with this combination of the easy-to-install Yaint hotend resizer add-on and the Yaint app. Print support-free, with nicer top layers and with better strength.


Kinkajou (optional) – non-planar toolhead with layer heating, camera, probe and nozzle leveling.

Full-color mixing hotend


– Arara


Effortlessly print in stunning colors with our seamless color switching and material mixing add-on Arara. Arara uses CMYK pigment injection directly into the hotend and lets you you color any filament. Paint your models in Iris slicer, pick your perfect mixing filaments, and print colored prints.
Arara uses cheap resin pigments and only needs 4% pigment per filament ratio added to color the filament. Any filament type is supported although white, or natural colored filament is recommended. Iris slicer can be set up with any colors as starting point so you can experiment and reuse old filament by repainting it to the color you want. Arara also adds a mixing hotend that adds mixing and seamless material switching between 4 materials. Best when using the 4-out MMU Harpy but will work with any another MMU also.

Smart quality-controlling camera

– Colibri


Enhance your printer’s capabilities with our smart camera system Colibri to auto-calibrate, tune and flow-control your print live so you have all printing be error-free, precise and fast.
Colibri includes a priming pre-print check of z-offset, flow and temperature to certify your settings are going to print well before actual start. But also error-checking while printing, with continuous flow-repair, fixing flow issues while printing. And a model print report outlaying the problems in the print (if any) and imagery of each layer with labels. This allows you to sell your prints with certificate of quality.

Waste-free MO-MMU


– Harpy


The Harpy MMU is probably the first Multiple-Out MMU with it’s 15 inputs and a fantastic 4 outputs setup (1 out option available too).
Harpy is designed to fit perfectly into the Arara hotend and optionally has a built-in splicer to join filament. Using its built-in controller the filament will in-precise-timing be cut, retracted, loaded and fused together, so there is no pause or purge required.
As mentioned Harpy comes in it’s 1-out and 4-out version, but there is also a 6-out version (w/o the splicer) specially designed for tool changers: the Caju.
All work with both direct extruder systems or behind a Bowden extruder. We also offer our super strong servo-powered Boa extruder (up to 65Ncm-1 at only ~75g total package weight) in case you don’t have a good extruder to use yet. Another option to add is Mico; a sensor that precisely measures color, thickness, humidity and filament usage while printing.

Filament spec sensor


– Mico

Mico is a full featured filament sensor that accurately senses and shows you, directly in your Klipper frontend, everything you might want to check when printing reliably. It boasts precise sensors for:
– filament thickness (mm)
– filament color (RGBA)
– filament run speed (mm/s) and length (mm)
– filament humidity (%)
– filament temperature (ºC)
With Mico also come a small number of macros to react to changes directly, f.e. change the flow rate, and a connection to Spoolman to keep your filament specs updated.

Coming soon

Angling conveyor belt


– Tucano


The Tucano is a conveyor belt system that uses a smart motorized tilting system to angle it up to 60º while keeping the bed fully centered. It has a strong wiper in the front and comes with an optional door-opening and -closing add-on, so you can set up continuous printing, even in closed printers, without limits.
Tucano comes can be sized to exactly fit your printer, offering various sizes to pick from, and comes with smart Klipper-connecting controller.

Coming soon

Magnetic rail gantry


– Samba


Samba brings your printer the needed swings and harmonic vibrations to make printing more fun. It uses precisely tuned magnetic sensors that autonomously fully levitating-ly ride on a magnet rails while giving smart feedback on their actual position, and correcting any dis-syncs while moving. This closed-loop system means you can hit the tool head and it will automatically turn back to the right position to correct the move.
Additionally the magnetic system of Samba is fully friction-less and offers very high speeds and accelerations.
In the future the option for IDEX or multi-tool head will be added by means of firmware updates. Samba is made for high speed, high reliability printing in mind, and is available in custom sizes.

About PLEC³ᵈ

PLEC³ᵈ is an initiative to make 3D printing both more sustainable and less into the commercially made popular throw-away-and-replace culture. With more than enough good enough 3D printers in the consumer space it is now possible to replace a good part of unsustainable manufacturing by sustainable 3D printing. We just have to make sure we limit all the plastic thrown away each day with failed prints, purging and supports and source from recycled or renewable sources.

PLEC³ᵈ offers a subscription-based service chain that transforms existing 3D printers into next-gen printers with ease, opening up a world of green, fair and sustainable possibilities. Our service simplifies the processes of non-planar printing, color 3D printing and optimization of tuning, making 3D printing as reliable and cyclic as possible. PLEC³ᵈ was initiated in 2022 just after the consumer market boom of new printers. You can find more info on it’s history here.
