3devo, a Dutch know-how firm, has launched its absolutely realized Filament Maker TWO – a machine designed to offer 3D printing professionals the autonomy to supply FDM filament in-house. Developed with direct enter from customers of the unique Filament Maker ONE, the Filament Maker TWO addresses the necessity for stability, effectivity, and customization in filament extrusion.
Late final 12 months, the corporate launched an ‘superior prototype’ of the system.
Updates and enhancements
The Filament Maker TWO options improved extrusion management because of a robust drive with a brand new stepper motor and gearbox mixture – delivering as much as 3 times extra torque and guaranteeing minimal RPM fluctuation. The system additionally consists of automated filament tensioning and the potential to supply 3kg spools.
The 50mm longer extruder screw design promotes optimum mixing and circulation stability – contributing to a extra constant filament diameter, and the intuitive touchscreen interface permits for simpler management of the machine, offering related extrusion information, notifications, and steerage for customers. Geared up with a brand new 3-axis digicam sensor, the Filament Maker TWO offers correct measurement of filament ovality and diameter, with an accuracy of 10 microns. The system can detect spool ovality and provides thermal measurement, guaranteeing optimum temperature stability all through the extrusion course of.
3devo’s machine options simply detachable parts, together with the nozzle and screw, permitting for easy upkeep with out the necessity to ship the machine again to the producer. This design facilitates fast troubleshooting and repairs, lowering downtime. The Filament Maker TWO can be constructed with customization in thoughts, that includes an open-source API that enables customers to combine their very own growth tasks.
