The Phrozen Arco is a desktop FDM 3D printer powered by Klipper firmware and aimed at efficient high-speed printing. Inspired by the Italian word for rainbow, Arcobaleno, the machine offers up to 4-color printing through its AMS system Chroma Kit (and the possibility of up to 16 colors in the future), providing a new level of creative freedom. At the same time, Arco is also translated as a bow, embodying the printer’s capabilities to produce your 3D prints with an outstanding speed of up to 1,000 mm/s and multiple design features ensuring printing precision.
With an enhanced open-frame structure (optional enclosure is available), the Phrozen Arco offers a generous build volume, high-temperature extruder with an all-metal hotend alongside heated print bed, impressive acceleration of 40,000 mm/s², and fully automated leveling. Given its user-friendly functionality, open material system, and wide creative possibilities, the Arco is an ideal option for hobbyists, enthusiasts, and those new to 3D printing.
To provide a streamlined experience for both beginners and advanced users, the Phrozen Arco 3D printer is equipped with numerous quality-of-life features, including an easy-to-use PEI bending platform, quick nozzle change, PID calibration, vibration detection algorithms, and intuitive interface. In terms of software, the Arco model can work with most third-party FDM slicers and uses a self-developed Phrozen PIXUP FDM Slicer for multi-color projects.
Due to its next-level print speed, increased precision and stability, ergonomic design, ease of use, and multi-color printing capabilities, the Phrozen Arco is perfect for an ample range of personal and professional applications in various creative spheres, including modeling, prototyping, low volume production, and more.
The Phrozen Arco can consistently produce high-quality parts with smooth surface finish, sharp features, clean overhang transitions, and minimal tolerances.
The Arco’s all-metal direct drive extruder with 18mm gears ensures strong, accurate, and smooth material extrusion. Maintaining print temperatures up to 300 °C, this extruder in combination with the heatbed allows one to utilize high-performance materials for more demanding applications. Due to the patented ultra-close cooling system design that significantly reduces the distance between the gears and the heat source, the machine ensures consistent and even extrusion performance across various materials, including flexible ones like TPU.
With a maximum print speed of up to 1,000 mm/s (averaging at an impressive 600 mm/s), the Phrozen Arco is up to 12 times faster than conventional FDM 3D printers. Featuring acceleration of up to 40,000 mm/s², the machine is capable of printing most objects in only a few hours, which significantly cuts production times.
For high-speed printing optimization and improved print quality, the Arco is built with improved gantry design. The printer’s structure shifts weight to the bottom of the machine, creating a low-gravity base to enhance stability. To further enhance stability, it is also paired with 4 thickened aluminum stands, ensuring a super stable Core-XY structure and minimal wobbling for top-quality printing.
To provide the best possible accuracy of the printed objects, the Phrozen Arco comes with full auto leveling for additional convenience, precision, and a flawless first layer.
Due to the PEI detachable build plate, it takes only a second to remove the printed models with a smooth and fine bottom.
Thanks to the extruder temperature of 300 °C and platform heated up to 120 °C making for strong first layer adhesion, the Phrozen Arco can successfully print with a wide range of consumables, including PLA, ABS, TPU, PETG, ASA, and carbon fiber-reinforced composites ensuring great dimensional accuracy and surface quality. The printer also fully supports special high-speed PLA and PETG filament designed for rapid melting and cooling.
The Phrozen Arco is an open system compatible with third-party materials, which makes the choice of filaments literally unlimited. And with the Chroma Kit system (read more below in the Add-ons section), one can combine different colors in a single model.
The Phrozen Arco is a desktop FDM 3D printer that offers a capacious build area of 11.8 x 11.8 x 11.8 inches (300 x 300 x 300 mm). A build volume like this lets one produce a wide variety of small-to-medium multi-color objects like toys, artistic models, and prototypes as a whole, without the need of splitting them. Larger objects can be printed in parts and then assembled or glued together.
The Phrozen Arco 3D printer features a 5" full-color LCD touchscreen with an intuitive and well-organized UI providing fast and convenient access to all printer settings and parameters.
The machine boasts Wi-Fi connectivity as well as a USB slot to transfer printing tasks from the PC to the printer. In addition, the Arco model supports remote monitoring via a built-in camera, which allows one to track the printing progress in real time.
The Phrozen Arco is compatible with most third-party FDM slicers and Klipper for single-color projects. When it comes to multi-color printing, you can use Phrozen’s self-developed slicing software — PIXUP FDM Slicer that enables printing models with different color parts.
One can extend the capabilities of the Phrozen Arco FDM 3D printer and increase convenience of use by purchasing the following add-ons provided by the manufacturer (check out the Add-ons & Extras section at the top of the page to add them to your shopping cart).
The Chroma Kit is an advanced 3D printing accessory powered by Klipper software that allows printing up to 4 colors in one go. With the freedom to customize your creations with preferred color schemes, the Chroma Kit also acts as a filament enclosure to keep your materials dry and reduce the risk of filament jams and breaks for the best print quality.
Benefits:
The Phrozen PentaShield represents a full-metal frame enclosure for the Arco 3D printer. Easy to assemble and remove, it offers full protection and quieter operation during the printing process. The PentaShield kit comprises 5 acrylic and metal frame panels: 3 transparent sides to check your printing progress, a solid metal panel on the back, and a see-through top to place the Chroma Kit.
Benefits:
The Phrozen Arco is an open-frame FDM 3D printer available in black. Its stylish look and ergonomic design make it ideal for any studio, small enterprise, or educational institute. For more advanced applications and a comfortable environment, one can purchase the optional enclosure kit.
The printer dimensions are 19.3 x 18.7 x 24.4 in (491 x 475 x 620 mm). It weighs 48.5 lbs (22 kg). The filament spool is mounted on the top-right corner of the machine.
The price for the Phrozen Arco FDM 3D printer is $849.99, which is reasonable considering its versatility and high performance.
