Raise3D Pro3
FFF (fused filament fabrication) printer
Build volume: 30 x 30 x 30 cm
Layer thickness: 10 - 250 µm
Includes the Hyperspeed option - extruder speeds of 2-3x normal speeds.
Several different filament materials are available: www.raise3d.com/filaments/
Third party filaments are also a possibility.
Raise3D Pro3 Workflow
Create/get STL file.
Slice object with Ideamaker
Prepare printer
Decide on type of filament.
Load filament.
Put cover on printer if it's not already there.
Bring gcode (output from Ideamaker) to printer (USB stick) and upload.
Clear bed of any bits of filament.
Print
Be sure to check on the print a few times early in the print to verify that there are no hiccups.
Remove print
Let cool
Remove build plate
Remove object from build plate by flexing build plate and prying object.
If necessary, gently pry with a spatula, taking care not to damage build plate.
Raise3D Pro3 Tips & Troubleshooting
Monitoring the print. There is a camera in the printer that can be viewed to monitor the print. On your compure in Ideamaker: Connect. You must enter the information about the printer. The IP address of the printer changes, since it's on WiFi, but was once 10.53.5.103. If that doesn't work, go to settings on the printer to get the IP address.
Print doesn't fully stick to build plate (e.g. a large object warps and releases at the corners.). Try increasing the build plate temparture in Ideamaker.
