3d printers: Chinese "twins"

Three maidens by the window
Hid late in the evening.



Under the cut there is an exposure of three Chinese twins, a livehack how to distinguish ABS plastic from PLA in field conditions, as well as using a popular method to clean a clogged nozzle.



one.
About printer UP! Plus already wrote on Habré.
Alas, it is already out of production and you can only find it used \ y. Although he was a faithful and reliable workahard.

Afinia / octave
Here's what comes in the box.

What immediately pleases the eye is the rainbow coil. Further, the “Temperature swich” may seem interesting - it is installed sequentially on the extruder and allows you to switch to 8 different positions in the temperature range from 209 to 266 degrees Celsius. Installs in 2 minutes. There is a nylon reel, a Kapton roll, a set of knives, nippers and a digital caliper.

As a result, Afinia deserved, according to the magazine MAKE, awards in the nominations "Best overall impression" and "The easiest start"

In the Russian market Afinia not found.

Real Chinese spirit! A trowel for plastering the wall of separating products from the platform (although everyone probably has their own favorite stationery knife and their own kung-fu for otkovyrivanii works from the platform), a set of knives with hieroglyphs for separating auxiliary structures (sometimes very convenient, the stationery knife does not prolazit any place ), digital caliper (allows you to measure everything and in real time can show the fluctuation of the sizes of static objects) with which you can do a special calibration of print parameters (there is in software provision). A set of hexagons (about them later), pinsetik, nippers and clips for the platform.

Some "features":


Iris coil (optional)

Particularly pleased that the mass of the coil is much more than a kilogram (the mass of the reel itself is about 300 grams.)
The trick is that the rainbow coil is very convenient for “start”, as it allows you to play in several colors at once and you do not need to buy 4 different coils or print everything in one color.
Such a coil is very convenient for outdoor events or for training seminars.

Temperature switch - allows you to "deceive" the temperature sensor by 30 degrees


Promised livehack - how to clean the nozzle.
(hexagon included)

“Entering and exiting — wonderful coming out.”
The key fits well in diameter and acts as a piston,
therefore, with a heated nozzle, it is really “clean”.


Cover for extruder made of heat sensitive plastic
(changes color at a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius)


Menu and user manual in Russian



Caliper and model for special calibration


A simple way to select "fill"


PS for the most attentive - at WOW! rounded corners in front, so now girls will not cling to pantyhose.



How to distinguish ABS from PLA?

If smokes - then ABS


FINDINGS:
1. As a former owner of Up! Plus, I want to say that this type of printer is really desktop (in the sense that it fits on the desktop, and not in the sense that it requires a separate table)
2. Recently, several articles appeared on Habré about how terribly to mess with customs or about the fact that the printer needs to be “screwed-up”. My printer, being thrown out onto the street and kicked by the homeless (before it got into my good hands), as soon as it turned on the outlet — heroically continued the seal of what the last owner had ordered. Like all Chinese, cheap and angry, fills the planet, so these lads will have to seize the desktops. Took out of the box - and print.
3. The price is 65.000 rubles - it bites, but it saves a month (s) on delivery and several million neurons, due to the absence of numerous fuss and "file processing".
4. This class of printers is good for elementary education in 3D printing technologies, incl. and for children.
