3D Potter 3D PotterBot 10 Micro vs 3D Potter 3D PotterBot 10 PRO
Technical comparison · 3D printing with clay & ceramics
Two clay printers with a piston extruder, sharing the same web interface and the same slicers. Part size decides: the PRO costs about €3,450 more and reaches 500 mm in height.

| Software notes | The firmware natively manages the protocol via an integrated web interface accessible via WiFi or Ethernet, eliminating the need for dedicated applications. The machine is compatible with the main standard slicers on the market, which generate the G-code needed to control the piston extrusion system via standard printer commands. | The machine integrates a native web interface accessible via WiFi or Ethernet, eliminating the need for locally installed control software. The firmware manages the extruder's movement and dosing using protocols optimized for standard G-code. It is compatible with most 3D slicers, such as Cura or Slic3r, provided the piston extruder's flow parameters are correctly configured for high-viscosity materials. |
The differences that matter
- Price: €3,549 against €7,000 → the Micro costs about €3,450 less.
- Volume: 335 × 320 × 305 mm against 415 × 405 × 500 mm → a vase 40 cm tall only prints on the PRO.
- Footprint: 53 × 76 × 71 cm against 66 × 86 × 91 cm → the PRO needs a bigger bench.
Which one to choose
Choose 3D PotterBot 10 Micro if…
The PotterBot 10 Micro is for people printing vases, bowls and small ceramic objects under 30 cm tall, who want the more compact and cheaper machine. It is controlled from the browser over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, with no software to install, using Cura or Slic3r. The trade-off is volume: taller or wider pieces have to be split.
Choose 3D PotterBot 10 PRO if…
The PotterBot 10 PRO is for people printing tall vases or wide pieces in a single run, with no joins. Like the Micro, it is controlled from the browser, and with Cura or Slic3r the piston extruder's flow parameters must be set for very dense materials. You pay double, and the machine needs more bench space.
