BQ has introduced the world's first desktop
3D printer Witbox Go! Running the Android operating system. The heart of the

concern the setup and maintenance of the gadget. Cope with the Witbox Go! Even
novices in the world of 3D printing: the printer recognizes the wrong installation
of the printing platform, stops printing, monitors the correct operation of the
extruder and the uniformity of the material. Transfer of the necessary

printer from the PLA coil by means of RFID technology.
All electronics was placed inside the case, and the
noise level is controlled by the Trinamic chip. The printing platform is
equipped with a special coating, which eliminates the need for 3D varnishes,
adhesives and adhesive tapes. The printer itself is made in a minimalistic
