10 Newly Released Printers at RAPID+TCT 2024

It was great to see & meet you at the show!

Nathan builds robots is the definitive source for 3D printing news and information

Talked with the developer of the HT90, some takeaways -the cooling fan has a valve that allows cooling flow onto the part and takes .5 seconds to switch, so you can get much more specific about cooling and not cooling specific areas of a layer -prints peek beautifully. They had a 400mm high fin that i saw no wobble at the tip of -the machine wasnt moving the table at alll, incredibly stable. And yeah soo so silent -two different hotend assemblies that are attached by magnets and have a single plug at the top, one for high speed printing and the other for high temp printing -direct drive extruder and it can handle tpu

Oh, new clones everywhere. Oh sorry I mean new Printers. The HT90 has some Amazing specs. 500c nozzle and 160c bed. Active chamber cooling for PLA. Just everything you EVER need.

The 90 in the prusa stands for the chamber temperature and it's a game changer. That thing is not a toy, it's a proper industrial tool.

$2k for the Prusa is a lot of money. And priced for organizations that can claim it as a business expense. I really appreciate your more professional take on these new products. Getting technical analysis and wow-factor both in one video is really satisfying, and frankly its why I like your videos.

100% Creality CFS is not active drying. It’s desiccant’s there is a space below where the rolls sit for packs.

If you want to dig into the K2 a bit: 1. Is the model there a production or pre-production model? 2. What cost cutting compromises can you see (aside from the lead screw count reduction)? Do you think any might compromise print quality? 3. Extruder and hot end: It's supposed to be an "Apus" extruder but doesn't look like the one from Phaetus. Volumetric flow rates have been mentioned to be 40mm^3/s+. BS scale from 1 to 10 given the hot end they are using? (is it just a slightly longer unicorn?) 4. How is the camera and lighting? Resolution and frame rate for streaming? 5. Any chance at demonstrating the closed loop motors (maybe unplanned disruption)?

The anycubic multi-filament system is also a heated filament dryer, similar to the creality one. The machine itself might not be quite up to A1 standard, but for the price and with some improvements in the multi-filament system, it's a cool little combo.

Not a Prusa fan but that Print quality on Delta is night and day from the big Prusa last year. That looks seriously impressive.

any idea on the build volume of the Elegoo machine?

If you can review these new fiberon filaments it would be cool :)

It has been mentioned the filament system is not heated. The temp and humidity are informational only. I wouldn't even say Prusa pioneered the 4 bowden tubes to the hot end. Their work was based on the rest of the community.

Thanks for all the info man. I would love to go to one of these events, but I detest flying so thanks for being my surrogate. Would have been a hoot if the trash can blew apart, long as none of them got hurt of course. :)

The K2 seems like a nice improvement, almost giving me buyers remorse for the k1c even though I haven’t bought it yet 😅

About a year ago I emailed Elegoo just on a whim asking if they had any plans for a multicolor printer. They said essentially that they were working on it, so judging by the poop shoot and little cutter button that I saw on the Centauri in this video, this is probably it. I’m guessing since they didn’t show it off, they’re probably still working on the actual MMU attachment, and if I had to guess they’ll launch the printer first and then the MMU later as an upgrade you can buy and add on.

The K2 AMS isnt a dryer sadly . Does have a chamber heater.

The Kobra 3 ams is a dryer

The bin could take the full Joel 😂

what size bed was the elegoo? looks like bambu size. 300x300 or 350x350 would have been nice
