Flsun v400
The Flsun v400 is a delta printer controlled by the speederpad. It was purchased on the 1st March 23 as part of the policy on the hackspace policy of providing "better" machines than people have access for at home.
The v400 is being modified with an enclosure, fire puck to allow unattended printing and HEPA/Active Carbon filter for indoor ASA/ABS printing.
Its maximum off the shelf print speed is 400mm/s
Induction is mandatory for this printer, not because it is not simple to use, but because customisations must be made to your printer profile to enable the modified fans to purge the print area when using known cancer causing materials to keep you and other space members safe. For complex prints, it is recommended to reduce the stock speed acceleration to 6000mm/s and the max print speed to 350mm/s. This usually only increases long complex print speeds by a matter of minutes. Anything with simple designs will be fine at this speed.
Printing ASA or ABS
ASA or ABS printing requires a higher surface temperature, but this risks the curie point of the magnetic bed.
- Ensure you have completed the induction and your CURA profile (or similar) includes the correct settings for the HEPA Filter to enable safe printing.
- Please do not attempt to print higher than 95'C
- Do not remove the magnetic bed until it has cooled completely.
- Do not leave ASA or ABS in the printer, please replace with a standard reel of PLA and purge the nozzle once your print is complete.
Please report any damage to the magnetic bed to discord.
