My one can print 400x400x450mm. It has liquid cooled stepper motors and hot end. High temp enclosure and nozzle, 360 degree view of the part and all components due to a all glass enclosure and it's more reliable and easy to repair due to the simple cartesian design. Only has a single print head but for what it cost me to build I can build 10 of them for the same price.
Talking about reliability, even though you never owned a professional 3D printer and know nothing about the machine showed in this video. Sorry to tell you, but no serious business in this world would buy your machine. It's cartesian, so it's imprecise, and it's unreliable because your as a DIY guy can't provide any kind of support for a company. And I am 100% sure, that it's not capable of printing PEEK or ULTEM without severe modifications. 😉
@@grahamwatson3677 I honestly wouldn’t know where to begin. I am very poor and live in one of the most expensive cities in the world. It has taken me years to accumulate the parts and tools needed (not to mention a work space) by working as a meal delivery rider on a bicycle. Of course now that it is designed and built I could quite easily work out how much the cost and (more or less) time needed. As for my time per se, that is not for sale my dear.
This thing is amazing! One day, I will be able to afford one haha And don't take this as a knock like this machine is too expensive. I'm fully aware of the potential things this can make and what kind of profits it can bring in I'm just not in a position to even come close to affording it right now. But I have a goal now ;)
Thank you for your comment. We appreciate your concern and want to address it directly. The video you mentioned, if it’s the same one we saw, was not an authentic review and featured a modulated voice. Additionally, it did not showcase our 22 IDEX V2. We did not take any action to remove that video; it appears the individual responsible decided to take it down themselves. At Vision Miner, we are committed to transparency and quality, and we stand by the performance and reliability of our products. If you have any specific concerns or questions, we would be happy to arrange a live one-on-one presentation to demonstrate the capabilities of our 22 IDEX V3. Please feel free to reach out to us directly. Thank you for your understanding and support.
@@VisionMiner thanks for the answer! I think the best thing y0u can do is give or rent one of your printers to a trusted reviewer so the community can have some objective impression :)
The mop salesman duped a desperate ukranian immigrant out of his company and designs. Still poor quality and shoddy sales tactics and lack of any real innovation from these losers.
I am pretty confident this printer along with Prusa's HT90 will be a market disruptor. Expect an order from me the second i find a customer for its parts.
Why copperhead instead of mosquito. Copperhead is a budget option as far as slice is concerned, and this is not a budget machine. What is the reason for corner cutting? The unsupported heatbreak of copperhead is not ideal.
has to be something custom/different about it? cause even slice says the copperhead is only rated to 450c but this video is saying 500c. agreed if this carries the same 15k price tag what is another couple hundo to get a higher end hot end.
With the v2 they mentioned the user could use the heatbrake to easily adjust z offset between both tools. Not sure if this still is the case or if it’s done in DWC now. This newer machine does seem to do auto XYZ offset calibration so I’m not sure if that reason is still the same.
Correct, the heat break is used to offset the z-axis between both heads, to match them up perfectly. Higher flow can be achieved with CHT nozzles, or upgrading to another higher-flow hotend design, but the Copperhead has plenty of output for the materials being used, but if someone wants to do massive layers at even higher speeds, the option is available to modify it :)
If you print parts from material that costs 1000 dollars per kilogram for machines that cost over a million dollars, then the printer seems actually pretty cheap.
Did you say non plannar??? Man i wish i could afford one of these things. Such an absolute beautiful monster of a machine. Killer job to the team behind these
With laser SLS printers now coming in at under $10k, and hobby grade printers like the X1C at just $1500, there is no reason this needs to be $15k. At that market you're in Stratasys territory.
Stratasys territory is $150-400k for printing the high temp materials, with their budget machine you're extremely limited on material selection, and adding materials entails expensive material licenses.... so, apples to oranges. X1C only touches the tip of engineering thermoplastics -- you can push it to do more than intended, but then you're in risky territory. If you're a business owner and have ROI to gain on parts in advanced materials, the 22 IDEX is a no-brainer at this price point, with competitor machines starting in the $30-45K range with similar capabilities.
SLS is an interesting comparison -- if you're just doing Nylons, someone should definitely consider desktop SLS, but it's more application specific, compared to an open-material high-temp FDM machine. They're all tools for different situation -- there isn't yet a one-size-fits-all 3D printer, and the 22 IDEX fills a specific need within several specific industries (Aerospace, Medical, Energy, etc etc)
Lidar for flow rate control or accelerometers for input shaping? Every printer has to compete with Bambu. Sure, idex is excellent for support printing, but at $15K I expect to spend the minimum amount of hours dialing in each material.
They don't have to compare themselves with bambu to be the best in their field Bambu can't print such as advanced materials There is no any printers with that abilities in this price If someone wants to prints materials costs thousands of dollars, there is no room for funny bambu There is no any better printer than this to print those materials
