ZYYX+

The ZYYX+ is an FDM 3D printer from ZYYX Labs AB with a 265 x 225 x 195 mm build volume.

Specifications

The ZYYX+ 3D printer (manufactured by the Swedish company ZYYX Labs AB) is a prosumer-class FDM/FFF machine designed specifically to provide a safe, silent, and highly reliable printing experience in office environments, school classrooms, and design studios. The core philosophy of ZYYX+ revolves around its "OfficeSafe™" ecosystem, which features a fully sealed print chamber and integrated active filtration, combined with a unique non-heated build plate technology designed to reduce energy consumption and eliminate thermal burn risks.

• Kinematics: The printer utilizes a precise Cartesian cross-gantry motion layout (similar to classic Ultimaker kinematics).

Calibration

Unlike DIY 3D printers, the maintenance of the ZYYX+ focuses on preserving the adhesion properties of the cold build plate and ensuring the integrity of the filtration system. Below are the 8 essential calibration steps:

• Cleaning and maintaining the ZYYX 3D Print Sheet

Since the build plate is unheated, adhesion depends entirely on the cleanliness of the print sheet. Finger oils, dust, and plastic residues quickly degrade the chemical grip of the sheet.

Common defects

• Hardware defects and mechanical weaknesses
• ZYYX 3D Print Sheet wear and tear: Since the bed is unheated, adhesion forces are concentrated entirely on the top chemical layer of the sheet. After ~6 months of intensive use, the sheet wears out, showing bubbles, scraper scratches, or patches that lose adhesion. Solution: Replace the adhesive sheet.

What it is used for

Best use-cases

• Classrooms and educational institutions: The unheated bed makes the ZYYX+ the safest FDM printer on the market for children, eliminating burn risks. The HEPA/Carbon filtration system ensures children do not breathe in toxic fumes.
