The filament drive and hot end mount uses UL approved flame retardant materials for an extra level of safety. The hot end heat sink and heat break were designed to bleed off the heat before it can rise and damage the other components on the print head. Finally, we designed our own heat sink to bleed off any excess heat that rises from the heat break. Not only does this improve the printing process, it makes the hot end safer overall. Special hot end heat break and heat sink. We also use a special Bi-Metallic heat break sourced from Slice Engineering to keep the heat in the heater block instead of migrating upward into the rest of the hot end assembly. Finally, we engineered the cable management of the hot end wires to further prevent the sensors from coming loose. Third, our temp sensors are potted into metal cartridges, which allows us to attach them more securely. Second, we use multiple fastening points to retain the sensors. First, we use TWO temp sensors to add redundancy, as mentioned above. Furthermore, we designed our hot end to specifically prevent the temp sensors from dislodging during use. Please see the illustration below.īetter temp sensors, mounted better. The F1 uses PT100 temperature sensors made from Platinum, so they are extremely reliable. If the circuit reads a temp higher than 325 C it will cut the power to your hot end.
That’s right, two temp inputs, and each input is run through it’s own specialty circuit. The F1 also uses two temp sensors for added security. In other words, a bad transistor or crashed firmware is not going to prevent the specialty safety circuit from doing its job.

These specialty circuits are completely independent from the firmware or other software controls. The F1 solution. That’s why the F1 incorporates redundant specialty electronic power cut-off circuits. However, no firmware is going to protect you if it crashes or if you experience a controller board or temp sensor failure. In the vast majority of cases firmware protection works well at protecting you. To make matters worse a lot of cheap printers didn’t even enable these basic software protections, even though they are built into the firmware.
Most printers on the market today only rely on firmware to protect against thermal runaway. This can happen if your controller board fails, the temp sensor fails, the temp sensor gets dislodged from the heater block, or your firmware freezes and fails to reset. That’s why we built a printer with unmatched safety features.Īdvanced thermal runaway protection. What’s thermal runaway? Basically, it’s when your hot end keeps heating up and wont shut down until you cut the power. We also know that many users run their printers unattended. We all know that 3D printers are run overnight, and sometimes for days on end. We take safety very seriously because we know where our F1 printers are going to end up: at hospitals, business offices, schools, research labs, shop floors, college dorm rooms, and of course, people’s homes. The F1 reward tiers correctly list the items that are included with the F1. Note: F1 printers do not include the F-BOX, F-PAC, or F-FLEX accessories, even though it’s shown in the photo. NOTE: just to be clear, the F1 printer does not come with an F-BOX, F-PAC, or F-FLEX, these must be added to your pledge. It’s also the most affordable industrial grade 3D printer we have ever built. We also did our best to design much needed accessories that work with nearly all 3D printers on the market today. We did our best to infuse the F1 with best-in-class safety, print quality, and reliability. It’s where high performance meets incredible value. We are proud to introduce our new F1 3D Printer and line of F-Series accessories.
from Prototype to Production the F1 has you covered Essential Machine – Essential Accessories It’s time for you to get the essential office machine. It’s time to establish your own manufacturing plant. It’s time for all industries to get involved with 3D printing. Imagine if every small business, college, hospital, or fortune 500 company had just one 3D printer? Of five of them? Just imagine the impact this would have. The importance of local and on-demand manufacturing has never been more clear. As Covid-19 continues to disrupt and overwhelm global supply chains the 3D printing community has stepped in to fill the gaps with masks, face shields, swabs, ventilator parts, and more. In the past few months the world has seen the power of 3D printing in action.
