The Hydra 16A is our large format machine. Introduced in 2016, it features hard resolution (with encoder feedback) of 20 microns in the X and Y, and 0.8 microns in the Z in standard mode. In microstepping mode, we can achieve soft resolution of 4 microns in the X and Y. It comes standard with two tool positions, but can take additional yokes to handle more. | The Hydra 16A is our large format machine.

The Hydra 16A is our large format machine. Introduced in 2016, it features hard resolution (with encoder feedback) of 20 microns in the X and Y, and 0.8 microns in the Z in standard mode. In microstepping mode, we can achieve soft resolution of 4 microns in the X and Y. It comes standard with two tool positions, but can take additional yokes to handle more.
The base model has a range of 250mm in the Z, and can be equipped with the following (one is required):
- Bed, Standard, Warm: 400x300mm, 120C
- Bed, Standard, Hot: 400x300mm, 200C
- Bed, Large, Warm: 600x400mm, 120C
- Bed, Large, Hot: 600x444mm, 200C
In addition to the options available on most Hyrel printers, the Hydra 16A can also be equipped with:
- The 40 Watt CO2 laser (~10,000nm wavelength)
- The Pick-and-Place head with component tray
- The Three-Phase Spindle Tool for light machining operations
Most technical specifications are detailed in the comparison chart on the main page.
Adjustments
- Speed of travel (at slicing or in g-code editor)
- Layer thickness (at slicing)
- Volume of flow per unit distance (at slicing or in g-code editor)
- Extruder temperature (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build) (MK-1, VOL-25)
- Cooling Fan speed (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build (MK-1, QS-1)
- HotBed Temperature (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build)
Or, is tabular better?
| Metric | Units | During Slicing | In G-Code Editor | GUI During Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed of Travel | mm/min | yes | yes | no |
| Layer Thickness | mm | yes | no | no |
| Flow Rate | nL/sec | yes | yes | yes |
| Extruder Temperature | °C | yes | yes | yes |
| Fan Speed | % of max | yes | yes | yes |
| HotBed | °C | yes | yes | yes |
