The 3D Platform Workbench is a large format 3D printer, that uses FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) additive manufacturing

Jobs run on the Workbench must be reviewed by __space staff prior to printing.

Capabilities

  • Build Area: 1 meter x 1 meter
  • Filament: 1.75 mm or 3 mm (3mm recommended)
  • Nozzle Diameter: 0.6 mm
  • Max. Nozzle Temp: 295 °C
  • Max. Print Bed Temp: 145 °C
  • Materials: PLA, PETG, ABS, NinjaFlex, nylon, T-Glase, HIPS, PVA, etc.
  • Down to a 70 micron (0.0027") resolution

Electrical

Standard AC Input:

  • 220-250V Print Bed & Printer Control
  • 15A
  • 60 Hz or 50 Hz

How to use

  1. Prepare a .gcode file. Use settings for the 3DP Workbench. Simplify3D has a profile prepared that may be applied to most 3D file types.
  2. Save .gcode file to an SD card and then insert SD card into slot on printer
  3. Power on printer by setting the power switch on the back right side to "I", then pressing the "I" button on the front panel of the Workbench.
  4. Instructions to be continued
