The Modix BIG-120X V4 is a large-format, self-assembly FDM 3D printer with a 1,200 × 600 × 640 mm build area, designed for professionals in prototyping, mold making, R&D, and restoration. It features a modular design for upgrades, including IDEX, and a Griffin print head with a custom Bondtech extruder and 500°C hotend for compatibility with standard and industrial filaments. Automated calibration handles bed leveling, gantry alignment, and Z offset, while Nema-23 motors enable speeds up to 350 mm/s. Offering industrial performance at a competitive price, it’s ideal for printing full-scale models with reduced post-processing and high reliability.

What is the print quality and performance of the Modix Big-120X V4 3D printer?

The Modix BIG-120X V4 delivers 0.01 mm XY resolution and 0.5 micron Z-axis precision, ensuring accurate results across its large build volume.

Trinamic TMC2660 drivers reduce noise and vibration, improving surface finish. It prints detailed models at 100 mm/s and travels up to 350 mm/s for efficiency.

 

Upgraded mechanics boost the BIG-120X V4’s print quality. The Griffin printhead, with a Bondtech extruder and Modix hotend, ensures consistent extrusion with minimal stringing. A 200-point automatic bed leveling system secures first layer adhesion across the build surface.

With the IDEX system, the BIG-120X V4 handles complex prints with complex internal geometries. It maintains chamber temperature during material changes, preventing thermal shrinkage and enhancing print quality.

 

The productivity of the Modix 3D printer depends on the extruder, with Griffin variants ranging from ~46.9 g/h (High-Resolution) to over 500 g/h (Ultra), driven by differences in hotend length, melt path design, and heater power.

What is the difference between the Modix Big-120X, MakeIT 2x4+ and BigRep Studio G2?

Compared to MAKEiT and BigRep, the Modix Big-120X delivers top value and throughput with a 1200×600×640 mm build volume, optional enclosure and IDEX, and up to 160 mm³/s (500+ g/h) extrusion with the Griffin Ultra; the standard Griffin reaches 30 mm³/s (≈94 g/h). Its hot-end components are rated to 500 °C (tested to 340 °C), and while it's a self-assembly kit, on-site assembly and training are available via Top3DShop. The MAKEiT 2×4+ focuses on capacity and shop readiness with the largest volume (1400×650×800 mm), a built-in enclosure, 450 °C extrusion for abrasive materials like nylon-GF/CF, and closed-loop Layer Shift Prevention technology to prevent layer shifts; it ships fully assembled after a 100-hour test print. Avoid the BigRep Studio G2 because you will pay the highest price for the worst feature set.

What maintenance does the Modix Big-120X require?

The Modix Big-120X requires 9+ maintenance procedures to maintain consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable extrusion.

Daily maintenance

  • Wipe the PEI build surface with 99% isopropyl alcohol to remove grease and debris for first-layer adhesion.
  • Visually inspect the Griffin hotend nozzle and heat block for filament buildup; clear residues with a brass wire brush to prevent flow restrictions.
  • Verify filament feed sensor operation by triggering runout detection without filament to confirm uninterrupted printing.

Weekly maintenance

  • Measure and adjust GT2 belt tension on X and Y axes to 15–20 N using a tension gauge to preserve precise axis movement.
  • Apply synthetic machine oil to HIWIN MGW9 linear guides and SFU1204 ball screws; wipe off excess to prevent dust accumulation.
  • Check tightening torque of M5 frame and gantry bolts to 5–6 Nm to eliminate mechanical backlash during long prints.

Monthly maintenance

  • Recalibrate automatic bed leveling using the Duet probe; confirm flatness deviation stays within ±0.1 mm across the full 1,200 mm span.
  • Inspect and clean Bondtech BMG extruder drive gears; remove filament dust and lubricate bearings with light oil to ensure consistent feed force.
  • Perform stepper motor mounting inspection, verifying all NEMA-17 and NEMA-23 motors remain securely fastened to their mounts.

Semi-annual maintenance

  • Replace HIWIN rail cartridges showing wear on carriage rollers.
  • Inspect X-axis drive gears in corner assemblies; replace any aluminum gears exhibiting tooth wear.
  • Verify dual 1,370 W AC bed heaters and Autonics PID controllers maintain temperature accuracy within ±1 °C of setpoint.

Due to its large scale, the printer requires ongoing calibration of the motion system, bed leveling, and temperature controls to maintain consistent print quality across the large build volume.
