For me the costs are (estimated and kickstarter prices)

$2200 for the N2 Plus

$200 for dual extruder

$104 extra filament

$27 for 2 extra spare nozzles

$750 for AIRshipping it to me (China - netherlands 6-8 days delivery)

Estimated $15 customs

Estimated $689,01 VAT (21% VAT on the above, i will get this back later as we order as a company)

So total about 3970 total investment

(Edited again, camera and filament controller scrapped, airshipping definite price)

scrapped $50 for the optional camera

scrapped $100 filament controller

Added filament and extra spare nozzles

I’m considering the N2 Plus as my next printer to produce functional items, mainly custom fittings for prosthetics.Is themachine capable of that?I’d be looking at printing with a nylon or carbon fibre material ideally.

Thanks

it should be able to print anything that requires up to about 300 degrees on the extruder and max 110 on the heated bed

Personally i use 3dLac on the heated bed for ABS and print PLA mostly on the buildtak they supply with the printer.

In terms of can it do that depends on what you want to print, they have a good layer distance (0,1 - 0,3 mm or so) but for now only a standard 0,4 mm nozzle (stainless versions are on pre order and other sizes are in the works)

I own a N2 plus dual head and saving up for a 2nd printer which will be a smaller N1 single extruder for the smaller jobs

i personally havent printed in Nylon yet neither carbon (carbon eats the standard brass nozzle for breakfast)

As soon as i get the stainless steel ones i prob will try the metal filled ones or carbon. (Carbon and metal prints will not have a better layer adherence / strength then normal PLA might even be worse)

N2 Plus totally is able to print this.

Please send me an email and I can share some examples in prosthetic field.

I have invested about 2,200 just in the kickstarter with shipping in my n2 printer. And then my first week of actual printing which was maybe last week on The Hub I have already made almost a $1,000 in orders taken and more than $500 already paid and awaitkng for delivery. It Has been a learning curve with the idea maker software and then using it on the Hub everybody gives you impossible files that are 11 and a half inches,or files that were really only made for visual rendering .so I bought simplify3d and now I have to tune and start from scratch.spend more time of learning getting the perfect print. but it truly is necessary if you’re going to be getting some crazy Prints that take more than 30 hours. I personally paid $80 for the hot end V2 and $334 shipping and $50 for the camera and $150 for simplified3d I am happy and I wish that I could get the same deal for another printer. Sorry for Miss type I was using voice type on my cell phone for this

Hello,

I am an authorized reseller of the Raise3D N-Series 3D Printers.

I have in stock the N1-Standard (Single Extruder) and the N1-Dual printers.

I am awaiting arrival of my 2nd wave of N2 and N2 Plus hopefully next week, the 1st wave was so out in 2 days.

These printers are of the latest versions and include the V2 Hot Ends.

Actually, I find idealMaker a much better slicer than Simplified 3D.

With idealMaker you have full control of all functions such as speeds, flow rates, pauses, cooling levels, etc. and it already comes loaded with profiles but you can add your own of course, and ideaMaker will fix you models in a way the NetFabb does, if your model is too large there is a split function so that you can split your model into smaller parts and just print each part separately - how many slicers do that?

idealMaker creates supports and rafts that come off like butter.

There really is no need for Simplified 3D on the Raise3D N-Series, I only use Simplified 3D for my Ultimaker 2 now.

For those of you who are waiting on your Raise3D printers you are all going to be amazed by the print quality and the ease of removal supports using the idealMaker software.

The ideaMaker software gets updated with new enhancements regularly. I suspect that manual support will be coming soon.

These machines without a doubt the best of the best right now, with their 7" touch color display, complete file storage system, 4 USB ports, you can use either USB Stick, SD Card, Ethernet or wi-fi that actually works - so much for Zortrax with is promised but cancelled wi-fi.

These printers have replaced my Zortrax printers as my go to printers.

I still sell the Zortrax M200 but when my customers see how the software works and the printed results from both they usually choose the Raise3D.

They are better designed, built like tanks and are just a much printer better not to mention open sourced, you can use any brand of filaments.

You don’t usually require a raft unless you have many supports on the bottom.

These printers come with a heated build platform with a glass plate with BuildTak, however I prefer using PEI clipped on the glass, just my preference.

I could go on and on but I think you get the drift.

If any Hub would like me to print a free small file just email me your .STL file as an attachment to sales@petermake3d.com and I will print it and mail it to you for free. If you would rather not send me a file but just want a sample then just request a sample print from us.

I will leave any raft, brim or supports on the model so you could remove them yourself.

Cheers,

Peter of PeterMake 3D

Hey I definitely agree that this is the best FDM printer out there. But I have been using idea maker with the N2 for 7 months now. And they are working on updating it and adding manual support and things like that that are available on simplify3d. But I’m pretty sure that simplify3d has way more settings and I’m kind of confused what you mean that idea maker has more options on it. Some people have better luck with ideamaker because it’s just not complicated. but once you start getting the really hard large prints you will need custom support you’re just not going to print a 12 inch print with a over hang at the top , idea maker will not make a good 12 inch tall support( exaggerated example) at one point I had my printer running 24 hours a day for about a month and Ideamaker just slowing me down. Everybody has their opinion but I’m telling you off of 7 months of heavy use and MANY FAILED prints, Idea maker is not as good as simplified. And you are able to do the settings that you speak of and you are even able to print different parts on the bed with separate infill ,you can even print one part have 15% infill half 50% and infilll and the very top 100% in fill and another part on the same bed can be a completely different infill, or other setting at once. But like I said some people just prefer idea maker. But if you get really hard at finding out why prints are feeling you will find there is always a way to fix it with simplified 3D

I actually still use idea maker when I need to print something easy from remote connection

Hi, please I was not putting down S3D, I have S3D myself, its a great product of course and I hated the way Cura worked and all the other quote free slicers.

I did not mean to imply more options per say, however, I do not believe that with S3D you could split models and if so not as easy as idealMaker, also I do think S3D fixes the models as well as idealMaker.

Perhaps you require S3D for what you are working with, what I was trying to say is that for people whom do not what to purchase S3D or whom do not need such a powerful slicer such as yourself require, that idealMaker out of the box is in my opinion is a very good slicer, certainly better than standard Cura or others out there, perhaps not as many options as S3D but certainly a lot nicer to work with.

Raise3D as put a lot of work into this slicer.

Also where did you hear that Raise3D is not working on idealMaker for the Raise3D N-Series, I have received several updates since my first install? Some were fixes and some were enhancements. Just like my Firmware and also my Display Panel Drivers have been updated.

Cheers,

Peter

Sorry I use voice chat for everything that I type on my phone I already spell checked it I said actually the opposite of that sorry.

I have seen a comparison on a german website between ultimaker 3 and raise3d n2. Raise3D N2 Test - Der Riese mit Dual-Extruder im Faktencheck It seems the raise3d n2 print in better resolution. 10 microns are amazing in my opinion.
