The Gen3 Difference
Gen3 does not replace the principles behind Gen2 — it builds on them.
The proven dispensing system, touchscreen interface, CNC-machined aluminum tubes, and advanced software functionality remain at the core of the ST101.
Generation 3 adds USB-C PD power, approximately twice the powder capacity, upgraded silicone vibration bushings, mobile power-bank operation, right- and left-handed configurations, and hardware prepared for future expansion.
The result is the same proven SuperTrickler precision platform, refined for the next generation.
