The Hackspace owns a Felix 1.5 which was donated for member use.
The 3D printer functions, though its design is older in practice compared to more recent designs (for example a Prusa i3 Mk2).
The heatbed uses four resistors, and is aluminium, this was provided with kapton tape on the bed and tested to do an adequate print.
Felix 1.5 is no longer sold by the company which makes it, however a web archive of its product page can be found here:
There is still a manual and firmware files available from their website:

The control board is your typical RAMPS 1.4 with an Arduino Mega 2560, it is also running a version of Marlin though not sure what version yet, or what configuration required. It's likely this could be upgraded to the latest version. The control board also has an LCD panel connected.
