FAQs - Fablicator

Is support handled by a human being?

Every support request, either through e-mail or phone call, is handled by a Fablicator staff member. We do not outsource our support overseas.

Does using a Fablicator require a lot of technical expertise?

Our fully integrated 3D printing workstation is a relatively easy machine to learn. As with any new technology, there is a learning curve, and using the manual to get started will help immensely. 3D printing is not magic, and requires a willingness to learn the capabilities and limitations of the process.

Why buy a Fablicator vs an inexpensive chinese printer?

• We design our machines to be robust and reliable. Our very first machines are still producing parts after many thousands of hours of print time.
• Unlike the vast majority of chinese machines, we provide excellent, personal technical support when you have a problem.
• Our machines are made in the USA, and many components are made by local businesses.
• The part quality and strength produced by our machines is exceptional. Just compare our sample parts to those produced on other machines. It’s easy to skew ‘quality’ numbers on the internet, the proof is in the parts.

Are Fablicator printers plug-and play?

Yes, all of our printers are already integrated with computers with all drivers and software pre-installed. You can go from .stl to part without installing anything.

Will I need to make a lot of adjustments to my printer to make good quality parts?

No, the included KISSlicer software contains pre-configured profiles which yield excellent quality parts from day one. Additionally, each machine comes calibrated from the factory, and only in rare cases will the bed level need to be adjusted at all.

How do I compare quality between 3D printers?

Many companies will tout theoretical resolution and fine layer heights. Unfortunately, these metrics are in most cases exaggerated and somewhat useless. The surface quality of parts produced depends heavily on a factors which can’t be easily distilled into a few advertized values. The only good way we’ve found is to take a look at the parts produced.

How fast is the Fablicator compared to other 3D printers?

Pretty fast. (200mm/s moves and up to 75mm/s print speeds.) However, speed depends heavily on acceleration and extrusion rate. We’ve seen lots of machines advertized with print speeds of 300-400mm/s, but accelerations so low they will never reach those speeds in reality. We think the best comparison here is to have a part printed, and compare the total print time.

What programs can I use to design parts to print?

Any program which will output a non-intersecting watertight .stl mesh will work. This includes most solid modelling programs. The ones we see most commonly used are:

•Solidworks
•Inventor (free for .edu)
•Fusion 360 (free for .edu)
•TinkerCAD (free)
•Blender (free)

Where can I get parts to print without having to design them myself?

In addition to the included sample .stl files shipped with the printer, there are a number of online websites which have files available to download. The most common ones we see are:

•Thingiverse
•YouMagine
•GrabCAD

What materials can the Fablicator print?

•PLA
•PET
•Woodfill PLA
•Brass/Copper Fill PLA
•PLA/PHA
•SemiFlex
•ABS
•HIPS
•AntiStatic PET
•AntiStatic ABS
•Nylon (must use different bed primer, and some work much better than others)

Is there a warranty in case something breaks on the Fablicator?

Yes, the Fablicator comes with a 1 year warranty, and extended warranties are also available.

What operating system will the Fablicator software work with?

The fablicator has all software built in to the Windows 64bit PC. No other PC is required.

Does the Fablicator require maintenance?

The fablicator requires some minor periodic maintenance, such as keeping the printer fans clear of dust and debris, cleaning off buildup at the nozzle tip, and lubricating the lead screws.

Where do I buy filament for my Fablicator

We recommend purchasing material from Fablicator as we source our filament through high-quality suppliers. However, you may use filament which is not from us, but we suggest only buying from well known reputable sources. Good quality filament is critical to the proper operation of the Fablicator 3D printers.

Designer X

Designer X

Designer X is a high-performance professional-grade 3D printer, a tool for realizing any ideas.

The new printer combines the reliability of the legendary PICASO 3D Designer with the quality and stability of the new X platform. Designer X is always ready to go. The highest resolution (layer from 0.01 mm) and print productivity (up to 100 cm 3 / hour) make this printer unique.

Everything under control

Clogged nozzle, tangled plastic, uneven diameter, or broken bar will no longer ruin the model. Encoder system Flow Control is watching printing condition, ensuring stable results.

The Designer X encoder averages three measurements per second* (*at speed 60 mm/s, layer 0.2 mm)

This allows you to almost instantly pause printing ("Pause" mode) and automatically start the algorithm for solving the problem. If the abnormal situation is not resolved, the printer will wait for user intervention.

Plastic Feed Control

Detection of clogged or slipped plastic. Some blockages can be cleared automatically by the printer. The print result is saved (Pause mode), it can be continued after cleaning the nozzle or replacing it.

Plastic Presence Detection

Detects the end or breakage of plastic when printing. The print result is saved and can be continued after replacing the filament spool.

Print Surface Inspection

Detects part slip or surface artifacts that could damage the part (or the printer itself). The printer goes into "Pause" mode, saving time and material.

Heatsink temperature control

The maximum heatsink temperature is set in the profile of each plastic. If the sensor detects that the temperature is too high, the printer pauses, turns off the heating elements, and waits for the print head to cool down to operating temperature. This helps protect the printer from clogged nozzles and overheating.

Built-in plastic dryer

Printing can now be resumed even if there is a power outage. The printer will “remember” where printing stopped and will offer to resume it from the current moment. The only thing that is required of you is to make sure that during the downtime the part has not come unstuck from the printing platform.

Profile system

This system allows you to prepare a print job without reference to a specific material. ABS, PLA, Ultran or any other thermoplastic - the material is selected on the printer screen right before printing.

Alert system

Visual alert (with different backlight colors) for printer problems. A transparent understanding of the state of the device allows you to respond in a timely manner in case of any difficulties. Time is money.

First Layer Print Control

Automatic adjustment of the first layer print pressure based on the media.

Networking

Ability to manage all printers simultaneously from one computer over a network. Combining all X-line printers into one ecosystem.

Self-diagnosis

The printer performs self-diagnostics and detects possible problems.

Quality in detail

The quality of Designer X printing is our pride. Precision mechanics and X hardware platform help to achieve the highest results.

The minimum print layer is 10 microns. It is 10 times thinner than a human hair.

7

Multiple nozzle options

In addition to standard nozzles (0. 3 mm), Designer X0.2 can print with nozzles , 0.5 and 0.8 mm, as well as steel (for carbon-filled composites). For different tasks - different nozzles

Do you think you can print with any materials? And there is!

A new directional plastic feed system in the print head and a wide operating temperature range of mechanical components - that's what allows Designer X to work with a wide range of materials.

Print with any filament, including high melting engineering thermoplastics.

Another distinctive feature of the X platform is the Profile System. You no longer need to prepare a job for each plastic: the material is selected when printing is started on the printer.

Would you like to change temperature, cooling or other filament related parameters? No problem - you can do it both through Polygon X and on the 3D printer itself.

Printing with any materials is easy!
