The Axiloop MC8 launched on Kickstarter on November 12, 2026, with Super Early Bird prices of $1,099 for one MC8 and $1,499 for one MC8 Pro. Both versions have eight independent toolheads and a 300 × 300 × 300 mm build volume.
First shipments are targeted for March 2027. Shipping fees will be collected separately through PledgeBox after the campaign.

Eight Independent Toolheads
Each head keeps its own filament loaded, allowing the printer to switch among up to eight colors or materials by changing heads. Axiloop claims four-second tool changes using preheated heads, with reduced waste during switching. Makers101 has not tested the printer.
Rated maximum speeds are 300 mm/s for printing and 600 mm/s for extruder movement. The machine also has 2,500-point eddy-current bed leveling.
MC8 vs MC8 Pro
The open-frame MC8 supports PLA, PETG, TPU and PVA. The enclosed MC8 Pro adds active chamber heating up to 65°C and air recirculation, with an advertised material range that also includes ABS, ASA, PA, PC and reinforced polymers.
Software, Spares and VIP Pricing
Axiloop supplies a maintained OrcaSlicer fork. Its printer system is based on open-source firmware, but release of its own source code is still planned. The nozzles are proprietary and use hardened-steel tips.
Existing VIP deposit holders must pledge with the same email address used for their reservation. Axiloop will verify eligibility after the campaign, refund the difference to the locked VIP price and return the deposit. The public tiers above exclude that separate VIP adjustment.
Before pledging on Kickstarter, confirm reward availability and delivery eligibility for your destination. Check shipping charges, how taxes are handled and spare-part availability.
