No.3 Top 3D Printer
BCN3D Epsilon W50
Powered by our Independent Dual Extruder (IDEX) system.
Here is a recap of the No.3 3D Printer (BCN3D Epsilon W50)
- Developed by BCN3D, the disruptive Independent Dual Extrusion System technology makes the difference in 3D printing.
- The Smart Cabinet completes the Epsilon ecosystem, offering seamless integration with your BCN3D Epsilon printers and boosting their performance. Its filament humidity control keeps your materials in optimal condition, and its uninterruptible power supply protects your work at all times, avoiding the risk of losing your print job due to power outages.
- The autocalibration system incorporated in the BCN3D Epsilon calibrates the entire printer in less than 6 minutes by measuring multiple points to automatically adjust the printing surface height and (XY) offset between both nozzles. Always obtain a perfect first layer, without any user intervention needed.
- Make the list as long as it needs to be.
- Ensure your 3D models and associated print files are safe and easily accessible from any of your devices, anywhere, anytime.
Great Features
Feature one
Ensure your 3D models and associated print files are safe and easily accessible from any of your devices, anywhere, anytime.
Feature two
Thanks to the Hotend Family and the unique IDEX system of the BCN3D printers you will also be able to push the limits of 3D printing by combining different hotend sizes.
Feature three
Designed to extend the service life of your materials, the alumina absorbs the moisture from the air in the chamber. Once it becomes saturated, this material is isolated from the filaments and gets heated up until it releases the moisture, purging it out of the system. This process effectively keeps the filament dry and in optimal condition for its use.
Feature four
The tool drawer provides you with every utensil you might need, and thanks to the extra space for your laptop or tablet you count on a full working station right by your 3D printer.
no.2 3D printer on our list (Raise3D Pro3)
- Technology: FDM
- Materials: PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon Carbon Fiber, TPU/TPE, Metal Filled
- Build Volume (mm): 300 x 300 x 300
- Min Layer Resolution: 10 microns
No.2 Top 3D Printer
Raise3D Pro3
The Pro3 Series dual extruder 3D printers connect with Raise3D’s 3D printing software ecosystem.
Here is a recap of the No.2 3D Printer (Raise3D Pro3)
- The Pro3 Series is equipped with an independent modular extruder with a dual extrusion structure. This allows the Pro3 Series to print using a variety of filaments, reduce clogging, and allow convenient disassembly and replacement of components. The hot end of the Pro3 Series is easy to remove, facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the hot end. Users can also easily take off the front cover of the extruder to accurately locate common printing impediments such as filament jams.
- Auto bed leveling improves bed adhesion and allows the extruder to adjust to even the most minor of surface contour changes for better final print quality.
- The flexible build plate can be bent to easily remove 3D printed parts while minimizing potential damage to the final print. The Pro3 Series is also compatible with metal build plate, and high temperature build plate made of 100% pure borosilicate glass.
- The Air Flow Manager of the Pro3 Series improves heat dissipation and air circulation, and creates a stable environment inside the print chamber. Equipped with a HEPA air filter, Air Flow Manager can also filter and clean the air inside the chamber. The Pro3 Series uses HEPA air filtration to clean the air of any particles (including nano-particles) released during the 3D printing process. The HEPA air operates silently, quietly working in the background of any work area.
- The Pro3 Series replaces the drag chain cable with a lightweight cable, to reduce the weight of the extruder and keep the center of gravity in the middle during printing for more stable print quality. The Pro3 Series also uses digital temperature measurement, for accurate and anti-jamming temperature reading.
- The EVE assistant can guide users to accurately locate and resolve issues that could affect the final print job. It has a function that gives users reminders about regular scheduled interventions to ensure that printer maintenance is performed on time. It also helps reduce maintenance time and communication costs for an efficient maintenance process.
