The MatterHackers Execs breakdown SeeMeCNC’s Artemis 300 delta 3D printer.
The Artemis 300 provides an enormous construct quantity, 32-bit electronics, wifi connectivity, automated mattress leveling, and a sturdy all-metal body at an reasonably priced value.
SeeMeCNC is well-known within the 3D printing group for his or her glorious line of delta 3D printers. Headquartered in Ligonier, Indiana, SeeMeCNC produces the Rostock MAX, the Orion, the Eris, and now, the Artemis 300. SeeMeCNC was began in 1996 as an engineering agency that moved into the 3D printing sphere in 2011. Steve Wygant and his crew have been making glorious delta 3D printers ever since.
The Artemis 300 Delta 3D Printer
Options:
- Computerized Mattress Leveling (FSR)
- 32-bit Duet Wifi electronics (Trinamic motor drivers for nearly silent printing)
- Huge construct quantity – 290mm diameter x 525mm
- Linear rails for all axes
- AC 350W heated mattress (extremely quick warmth up)
- Powder-coated sheet metallic and extruded aluminum body. (1” x 2” extrusion profile)
- 0.9 diploma NEMA 17 motors for elevated decision
- All metallic hotend and EZRstruder
Computerized Leveling
The Artemis has pressure delicate resistors (FSR) mounted beneath the mattress. This lets you probe the mattress with the tip of the nozzle for straightforward and correct mattress leveling. The Artemis additionally permits for automated delta calibration to make sure correct tower geometry within the firmware.
Improved Mattress Leveling Routine
32-Bit Duet Wifi Board
The Artemis comes with Duet Wifi electronics that includes the highly effective 32-bit Atmel SAM4E8E ARM microcontroller and TMC2660 stepper drivers. The TMC drivers run at 1/256 microstepping and are nearly silent throughout operation. 32-bit electronics have higher planning skill and permit for sooner, cleaner, smoother prints than 8-bit Arduino electronics. Wifi is inbuilt, and connecting to the Artemis is easy and straightforward. There may be assist for twin extruders, and enlargement boards can be found so as to add touchscreen shows, extra extruders, motors, and so forth. So far as we all know, the Artemis is the primary fully-assembled machine to return normal with the Duet Wifi board. 32-bit boards are nice, and we’re excited that the Artemis is loaded with this superior {hardware}.
Huge Construct Quantity, Inflexible Body
At over 33,000 cubic centimeters, the Artemis has one of many largest construct volumes of any printer we feature.
The powder-coated metal body is well-designed and really inflexible. Excessive-quality linear rails for the three vertical towers present correct and easy movement and require no adjustment of eccentric cams or different means widespread to delta printers. The stout 1”x2” aluminum extrusion profiles assist you to print all the way in which to the highest of the construct envelope with none Z-wobble. The ball joints for the delta arms are CNC’d out of aluminum, and the arms are injected molded out of glass fiber strengthened nylon for stiffness and sturdiness. All of this provides as much as an enormous construct quantity you can take full benefit of.
The Print Head and Construct Plate
AC 350 Watt Heated Mattress
The heated mattress runs off AC voltage (110v) as a substitute of the DC energy provide voltage (sometimes 12-24v) and heats up very quick. The aluminum warmth spreader ensures constant temperature from edge to edge. Heating the mattress from room temperature to 90C° takes lower than 5 minutes.
All-Metallic Hotend, Excessive-Decision Stepper Motors
The Artemis is ready to print as much as 280C°, permitting you to print most out there filaments. SeeMeCNC additionally upgraded the Artemis 300 to 0.9 diploma NEMA 17 motors (from the extra widespread 1.8 diploma), which permits for extra exact motion and extrusion for general larger printing high quality.
The Extruder in Motion
With all the superb upgrades which have been made by SeeMeCNC to their latest delta 3D printer, the print high quality is exceptional. The Artemis is extraordinarily straightforward to make use of, and the documentation and assist are additionally glorious. With the ARP Equipment, you will be up and operating in lower than a day. With the absolutely assembled model, you possibly can nearly print proper out of the field!
From the skilled to the on a regular basis 3D printing fanatic, the Artemis is a wonderful match. For efficiency, value, general quantity and the flexibility for use remotely, the Artemis 300 has each level coated. As well as, once you purchase from MatterHackers, you get peace of thoughts with lifetime assist to your buy.
Total, the Artemis is a well-designed, fantastically constructed printer with some top-of-the-line elements you possibly can’t discover on different fully-assembled printers. For each the ‘ARP’ Equipment (Nearly Able to Print) and the fully-assembled mannequin, you get a superb machine for a superb value.
