Italian manufacturer - BlueCast X One.

  • BlueCast X One - 0% ash content
  • BlueCast X One melts and flows out of the mold like regular wax
  • Melting point of BlueCast X One less than 300°C (recommended maximum shelf is 750°C, but will perform well even at 680°C)
  • Excellent dimensional stability over time, no shrinkage extension)
  • Free of toxic and carcinogenic ingredients
  • Low smoke on burn-in
  • BlueCast X One does not require primer (great adhesion to platform)
  • BlueCast X One does not need any additives (excellent detail)
  • Models can be cast by any foundry without any special preparation

BlueCast X-One resin is fully compatible with the new generation of monochrome LCD printers:

  • Anycubic Photon Mono
  • Anycubic Photon Mono X
  • Anycubic Photon Mono SE
  • Elegoo Mars 2 Pro (Mono)
  • Elegoo Saturn Mono 4K
  • Wanhao Duplicator 11 (Mono 4k)

Older generation RGB LCD printers will have much longer exposure times than base resins, making this resin almost impractical for older technology printers.

The manufacturer gives some recommendations for obtaining maximum detail:

It is recommended to use high quality FEP film. Poor quality FEP film greatly reduces print quality on this resin.

Before starting the Z-axis calibration, make sure that the printer platform is not painted, that is, it does not have a color coating, like the first models of Anycubic Photon or Elegoo Mars. This coating prevents the photopolymer from sticking. To fix this problem, you can sand it down with 150/200 sandpaper. Then calibrate the Z axis according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Due to the low temperature meltable polymer used, the resin hardens below 18°C, so heat the resin to 25 to 40°C before use. Best operating range is 20 to 30°C. BlueCast X One will remain liquid above 18°C.

Shake the bottle for one to two minutes before pouring resin into the resin tank. Then, to remove bubbles, let the resin sit in the resin tank for 5 minutes before printing. To speed up this process, you can filter the resin to remove air bubbles.

Due to the low melting point of the polymer, the supports must be larger than usual. You can design a gate in your model and use it as the main support. Never use contact points smaller than 0.4mm and try to support the shaft of the rings.

After each print, drain the resin tank from the printer, filter it and store it in the original bottle.

This resin prints are more brittle than other BlueCast resins, especially filigree and serrations. Handle it with care. Models are moderately softer, because the resin contains wax inside. Wash prints in 99% alcohol. If using a washer and dryer, run an 8/10 minute cycle. If rinsing by immersion in an alcohol bath, place the model for 12 minutes. After washing, dry the model with compressed air. The color of the resin will begin to change from dark gray to light gray/white. The more white the model becomes, the better the casting will be. If you don't have compressed air, you can dry the model with a hair dryer, but it will take longer to bleach.

The bleaching time of the resin is highly dependent on the alcohol used: the lower the quality of the alcohol or it has been used many times, the longer it will take. After rinsing, you need to give the alcohol time to evaporate before continuing to work.

Post-curing may speed up the evaporation of the alcohol and make the print harder. If you want to avoid a lengthy bleaching procedure, you can rinse the model quickly (maximum 1 minute), but then post-curing of the resin is required (minimum 15 minutes).

The first delivery of BlueCast X One resin to Russia is expected in early April 2021. The first batch will be in limited quantities, but pre-order is already available in our online store.

Who creates the best work as a 3D printer client?・Cults

The BLU-5 is one of the most affordable desktop 3D printers we've ever made. It offers the largest print area of ​​any TwoTrees 3D printer, the most consistent performance, and is suitable for users of all skill levels.
Its all-metal base and frame provide durable performance. Simple, elegant design combined with outstanding performance makes the BLU-5 a toy for DIY enthusiasts, as well as a professional printing machine for designers and factories.
Here is a video review made by Aurora Tech, you can search for other video reviews of the BLU-5 printer on Youtube (formerly known as BLUER Plus).

90% pre-assembled, easy to install

BLU-5 comes with 90% pre-assembled parts that require minimal installation. Most installations can be easily done with hex wrenches.
To ensure that users receive devices without printing problems, each device is assembled for a 3D cube printing test prior to shipment. Few factories test the print before shipping as it is time consuming and labor intensive.

90% Finished Desktop 3D Printer

Smart 3D Touch Sensor and Auto Leveling

The BLU-5 also has a built-in 3D touch sensor that allows the printer to check if the build platform is level and apply if necessary. adjustments.
After checking that each part is installed correctly, alignment is recommended and required before printing. The alignment and leveling function in Tool Settings (on the touch screen) allows you to move the nozzle and 3D touch sensor around multiple points and register the position of each one. If the distance between the dot, nozzle and print bed differs from other dots, the software automatically starts the alignment process.

Built-in 3D touch sensor

Large print area for more options

Compared to other TwoTrees consumer 3D printers, BLU-5 is the largest 3D printer with 300*300*400mm print area. It is also one of the best large-scale 3D printers available in the consumer market. The print size of 300*300*400mm provides enough space for most DIY projects and allows users to complete printing of multiple models in one print. If you're not sure what size you need, the BLU-5 is a good budget option if you take everything into account.

Large 3D Printer

Patent Development: Automatic Space Adjustment Function

The basic working principle of FDM 3D printing requires that the print head and print bed move in sync with the design file. Since 3D printing is extremely demanding on precision, any imperceptible defect can cause the print to fail or become distorted.
Patented auto-spacer kit with spring kits greatly reduces motion-induced vibration for high precision and smooth printing.

Auto interval function

Quiet operation: TMC2209 mute driver

One of the main disadvantages of using FDM 3D printers is annoying noise.
TMC2209 mute driver reduces running motor noise and makes 3D printing an enjoyable experience.

Dual Z-Axis and Synchronous Belt

Instead of a single Z-axis lead screw, the BLU-5 uses two lead screws with a synchronous belt for smoother movement and faster response.
This unique setting effectively reduces vibration and improves print accuracy and speed.

Z-Axis Dual Guide Screws

Transparent Dual Stage Extruder

Compared to single stage 3D printers, the BLU-5 uses dual stage extruders to provide greater stretching force to achieve more stable and smooth extrusion.
Transparent housing allows users to observe and control the entire process with the naked eye.

Packed PEI greenhouse

Although the PEI greenhouse is a basic accessory for 3D printers, users usually have to pay extra for it from most vendors.
To provide users with a print-ready desktop 3D printer, a PEI greenhouse is included with the BLU-5 printers.
Thanks to the resilient and wear-resistant surface, you can easily remove printed designs.

RJ45 jack

Instead of using other jacks, the BLU-5 uses the common RJ45 interface for connection, which is much more readily available in local stores and easier for users to find replacements on demand.
RJ45 is also more reliable and efficient in signal transmission.

RJ45 socket

Filament exhaustion detection and printing resume function when power is on

It is quite normal when filaments run out during printing, and restarting wastes a lot of time and money on filaments. To solve this problem, all TwoTrees 3D printers are equipped with an intelligent low filament sensor and a restart function.
Whether printing is interrupted due to a power failure or a broken filament, the printer will resume printing at the exact layer or position where it left off.

Thread flow detection

  • X and Y belt tensioner allows users to make proper adjustments without the need for additional tools.
  • Removable motherboard service cover makes motherboard replacement much more convenient.
  • The 4.3-inch touch screen control panel provides a clear, simple interface and fast response to every touch.
  • All-metal base and frame make the 3D printing machine strong and durable for long-term use.
