Large Scale 3D Printer
March 2, 2026
The Modix Everest is an industrial-grade, large-scale 3D printer specifically engineered for printing exceptionally tall and life-sized parts in a single, seamless operation. Based on the architecture of the popular BIG-Meter model, the Everest boasts a staggering build volume of 970 x 1,030 x 2,000 mm (XYZ). This vertical capacity allows for the creation of massive production-ready parts without the need for patching or post-processing assembly, resulting in stronger and cleaner final products.
The printer is designed for high-speed performance, featuring the Griffin Ultra print head as a standard component. This hardware allows the Everest to achieve a throughput of over 500 grams per hour when using a 1.6 mm nozzle and a 1.2 mm layer height. By significantly reducing the total layer count for large objects, the printer can slash production times from days to hours. The machine is delivered as a self-assembly kit, which ensures it can be moved through narrow doorways and standard hallways before being constructed in its final location, which must have a ceiling height capable of accommodating its 3.06-meter total height.
Standard features included with the Everest configuration are an enclosure, dual print heads (standard Griffin and Griffin Ultra), large spool mounting, and a tilt screen interface. The motion system is supported by high-quality HiWin Z-axis rails and features advanced safety and monitoring tools such as clog and crush detectors. For calibration and leveling, the printer utilizes a Duet3D 32-bit Wi-Fi controller coupled with a Duex5 expansion board, providing automatic bed tilt calibration and a 100-point probing system to ensure precision across the massive print surface.
