3FXtrud 20 Uno 3D printer

Product Description

ShapingBits 3FXtrud 20 Uno is a compact and user friendly 3D printer that excels at 3D printing high resolution single material objects in renewable (PLA) and common engineering thermoplastics (HIPS, ABS, TPU).

Desktop additive manufacturing

3FXtrud 20 Uno is a 3D printer that lets you create single material high-quality prototypes, working parts or art models in biodegradable materials and small parts technical thermoplastics. The quality of a 3D printer depends on both layer height, and control of the material flow as it's being laid down layer by layer. Generally, a lower layer height value gives higher quality prints. 3FXtrud 20 Uno can print routinely at 100 micrometers, thus it will print objects with smooth walls and reach details. The direct drive extruder mechanism provides easy of operation and excellent control over the printing material flow thus objects with smooth, high quality surfaces are printed, without any post production processing required.

Supported materials:

material	Maximum service temperature in air	printing temperature	heated bed (HB)	HB temperature
ABS	80 C	230 - 250 C	must have	120 - 130 C 1st layer110 - 120 C other layers
TPU	80 C	230 - 250 C	helps	60 C
HIPS	100 C	230 - 240 C	must have	110 - 130 C
PLA	50 - 60 C	195 - 215 C	helps	80 C 1st layer60 C all others

3FXtrud 20 Uno highlights:

a 5th generation all metal hot end specially optimized for 3D printing a large variety of engineering, renewable, and food grade thermoplastics (ABS, TPU, HIPS, PLA);
precision extruder with spring tensioning and tension indicator that's easily tuned for different thermoplastics;
heated bed for improved adhesion and preventing warping;
very smooth and flat removable float glass build surface;
open frame design allowing for easy hacking for those willing to do so. Also, it's nice to see the intricacy of the print process!
adjustable cooling fan that provides extra cooling of the build to speed up the 3D printing process;
a rigid, anodized, all aluminum alloy frame, and build platform structure providing a dimensionally stable platform for the 3-axis linear motion system;
linear motion system uses high quality hardened and chrome plated steel rails with precision bearings for long life operation
printing from a flash memory card or USB;
high torque stepper motors with high current and 1/32 micro-stepping motor drivers for increased accuracy and low noise
a good sized build volume, with a 200mm x 200mm x175mm (horizontal dimensions constrained by the size of the heated bed), movement range of 218mm x 205 x 175 mm;
high resolution with 40 micrometers layer height;
easy nozzle replacement.
