Great printer for the money!

[@ВикторЯнкайтис]

Вы красавцы! Собираю свой принтер для PEEK. Равняюсь на Вас! Удачи!

[@greghebard5441]

wow, that was a super in-depth review! are there plans for a dual-filament version that you guys know of? thats the only thing i can think that i'd want to add

[@VisionMiner]

No plans for dual extruders, they need to change the frame for that. Something may happen around 2021.

[@tangodown2721]

How can you easily tell the enhanced vs the original apart?

[@ZearouAyedea497]

Would an Olsson Ruby HT nozzle work well with the Intamsys Funmat HT Enhanced? The M6x1 threading and the maximum temperature limit of 500 degrees Celsius should be fine, but I'm curious if the bed leveling process and the high temperatures combined would slowly dislocate the embedded ruby tip from pressing against the build plate.

[@VisionMiner]

Should work just fine :)

[@charlcilliers855]

Did you also have problems with the auto leveling system failing due to the micro switch failing? Really struggling to get service from Intamsys in South Africa

[@VisionMiner]

These issues have been fixed, but we always keep spare sensors on hand if you need them :)

What do you think of the Flashforge Adventure 3, Dremel 3D20, Ender 3, Ender 5, or Ender 6 for a home unit when I had been used to using Stratasys machines (Dimension 1200ES and Fortus 400MC)? I don't necessarily need high temp yet, but I want good quality parts. I found a Flashforge Adventure 3, Dremel 3D20, and Ender 6 all slightly used on Facebook marketplace. I haven't owned a 3D printer yet because I was wanting to wait until the quality was good for the price.

[@VisionMiner]

If you want to start basic, grab an ender 3 or ender 5 for under $400 -- get the kit, put it together, and be prepared to play with it, a LOT! :)

👍🏽🙌🏼💯 Dopenessssss

[@VisionMiner]

Thank you! :) :)

How hard is it to remove ABS prints from the ceramic glass?

[@VisionMiner]

It can be very difficult without proper thermal management. We find cooling the plate quickly helps prevent chipping, but the best bet is using Kapton tape or PEI to prevent it entirely. Then, you can just let the plate cool, and the part pops itself off, with almost no effort!

[@paulcumber4732]

can you 3d print with abs filament

[@VisionMiner]

Yes, of course! It's actually awesome for ABS, because of the heated chamber -- big parts finally possible!

[@Marcos-tj8nk]

can I print just nylon and ASA with this? or is just convenient for abrasive or high temp filaments?

[@VisionMiner]

You can definitely print just nylon and ASA, it's one of the best machines for it thanks to the heated chamber!

[@abdullahhamad4108]

mm interesting !!! i would like to buy one but my knowledge on that kind of printer almost zero !!!!

[@VisionMiner]

Here to help! :)

[@dfloyd888]

I have to ask a dumb question... can this printer do wood, ABS, or PLA? It would be nice to have the ability to print PEEK and Ultem when needed, but mainly do more common materials.

[@infernaldaedra]

It should be able to quite easily I'd imagine. it's just extremely underkill for it though.

[@flippantb]

you would still need a special nozzle for abrasive materials like woodfill, glow in the dark and carbon fiber filled PLA. But yes it should be more than capable. I recommend MicroSwiss brand plated nozzles but don't know the specific one to fit this machine.

[@infernaldaedra]

@@flippantb I don't think it should be a problem as this machine is geared towards carbon fiber thermoplastics and the like.

[@VisionMiner]

Yes, you absolutely can. The machine is open material, and takes any 1.75 filament :) It also uses e3D style M6x1 nozzles, so our hardened steel nozzles are perfect for filled filaments, and there tons of options on the market!

[@VisionMiner]

@@infernaldaedra Yep! Thanks!

[@jimbmakin7975]

can you really 3d print live puppies with this printer?

[@VisionMiner]

top-secret processes can do a lot.... :)

[@lovepeaceunity1010]

👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥

[@borisvanden5593]

Too expensive toy, Chinese PEEK printers is much better for less money, I donn't think that there is need to over pay for American flag.

[@VisionMiner]

Boris, this is a Chinese printer..... And as for the other cheaper ones, there are a few, and they all come with horror stories (hardware) and a total lack of support, so if you've got the skills to rebuild them from scratch, they make great frames :)
