The Folger Tech FT-5 R2 is a personal, large-scale FDM 3D printer kit. It comes with everything you need to assemble it. It is an upgraded version of the original Folger Tech FT-5. Its substantial print area of 300 x 300 x 400mm allows printing large parts in one piece. This inexpensive printer has a robust aluminum frame and an aluminum heated bed. The heatable platform makes it suitable for printing with plenty of materials. It is used by hobbyists, prosumers and students to print a wide variety of models, including animals, toys, movie figures, and others. Read the review for additional details.
For example, one user 3D printed this Dragon skull at 0.1mm layer height. It took 94 hours of printing for the Skull and 25 hours for the horns. It all worth the time.

Folger Tech FT-5 R2 Large Scale 3D Printer Kit prints with ABS, PLA and other materials.
The extruder comes with a fan for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints.

To ensure high reproducibility, we recommend installing an enclosed print chamber. This way the print quality would not be affected by temperature fluctuations as a result of drafts and other factors.
The Folger Tech FT-5 R2 Large Scale 3D Printer Kit prints with 1.75 mm filament, providing you with a wide choice of materials.
The build area of 11.8 x 11.8 x 15.7 inches (300 x 300 x 400 mm) lets you print most objects without having to break them up into smaller parts.
For example, one use 3d printed a parallel wastegate clocking jig as an upgrade for his motor.

The printer is controlled via an integrated LCD display with SD card port, which allows printing without a computer.
3D models can be printed from computer via USB or over an SD card.
The printer works with the most popular 3D slicing software like Cura, Slic3r, Repetier-Host, and more. These programs are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
