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.
