Introduction

Geeetech Mizar S is a very good 3D printer with a medium print volume on the market. It has many premium features such as the automatic print bed leveling and the flexible print bed, it is also very well suited for beginners.

Mizar S uses a dual gear Bowden extruder, that is lightweight and compact in design, allowing higher speeds and generating less vibration. The extruder of the Mizar S has two drive gears. This gives greater extrusion force and control over the filament than standard Bowden extruders with only one active drive gear.

The print bed of the Geeetech Mizar S doesn’t have any screws with which you can manually change the tilt. Instead, the print bed is mounted stationary and the print head has a built-in sensor that allows it to measure the distance to the print bed.

A dual Z-axis in a 3D printer increases accuracy because there is a stepper motor on each side of the Z-axis to move the X-axis in the Z-direction. This results in a more stable movement in the Z direction, which leads to higher accuracy when printing objects.
