Durable ABS prints without warping. Heated build chamber. Dual extruder printhead. Super easy maintenance workflow. |
This is our RepRap-based desktop 3D printer that can reliably print objects from ABS plastic without warping – a problem well known from many desktop-grade 3D printers and RepRap designs.
The “Kühling&Kühling RepRap Industrial” has a fully enclosed frame with powerful recirculating chamber heaters that raise the ambient air temperature up to 70°C. With minimized thermal stress the printed objects adhere flat to the build platform and allow for dimensionally accurate results.
Featuring two extruders this 3D printer can print with different nozzle diameters – printing the visible outer shell of an object in fine details while saving production time on the infill structure by using a bigger extrusion nozzle. Or you can do pretty two-color prints from equal tips.
The whole machine was developed for productivity, so you can expect minimal maintenance time for several recurring tasks like swapping filament, changing nozzle tips or levelling the build base. All sub-assemblies are easily accessible so you get the job done quickly.
