The CraftBot Plus and the CraftBot 2 can print any object in scale, as long as its within the given build space, which is: 250 x 200 x 200 mm (about 10 x 8 x 8 inches). This doesn’t mean that you can’t make a larger print though; if your intended print is larger than […]
This is a measure of the accuracy in which the extruder moves along the X,Y axes. It is not the layer height (which the CraftBot is able to print at 50 microns/layer when a .25mm nozzle is used). This Positioning precision value however, can be as low as a 4 micron accuracy!
While regular 2D printers only print in X,Y dimensions (and usually deal in only texts), 3D printers allow you to create physical objects by using melted materials, quite often in the form of a filament; they build these objects layer-by-layer. In the end the only limitation is your imagination!
Printing time depends on the settings the .Gcode file is associated with. Small sized, medium quality settings, for example a checkers chip printed at 200 microns/layer can take up to 10 – 20 minutes. Larger objects with the same quality settings can even take several hours to print; if you print the same large object […]
Fused Filament Fabrication, by definition, is the technique / technology that is based upon laying down material in layers, which happens to create a bond, to ultimately build 3D objects. This is the additive manufacturing method used by the Craftbot 3D Printer. A spool of material, in the filament form, is unwoven continuously by the […]
