The Classic Sturdy Frame Reinvented for the Ender

The Ender 5 series has been designed from the ground up to improve upon the Ender 3 series in almost every way, and the most dramatic improvement is the large, box-shaped frame that vastly improves stability and allows for a much larger build volume than that of its predecessors.

The extruded aluminum rails that form this eye-catching cube reinforce the Ender 5 Plus' structure along each axis, and is the foundation of Creality's Double Axis Control System. This vastly reduces any vibrations during 3D printing by allowing the Y motor to control the gantry on each side simultaneously, allowing for more reliable, solid print quality, and impressively quiet 3D printing.

BL Touch Comes Standard for Flawless Bed Leveling on Every 3D Print

Before every 3D print begins, the Ender 5 Plus takes stock of its huge print surface by employing the BL Touch auto-bed-leveling sensor. This sensor probes the print bed at multiple points, establishing a detailed mesh of the surface, and empowering your 3D prints to adhere easily along the ever-important first layer. Manually adjusting the bed with pinpoint accuracy is a thing of the past!

The Ender 5 Plus Keeps Going So You Don't Have To

To take advantage of such a massive build volume, and 3D print the huge parts and objects you need, the Ender 5 Plus has been designed to allow long prints to keep going, so you can let the printing go on without spending any time worrying. Interruptions are a part of life, but with these quality-of-life features, it's like it never happened.

With the built-in Filament Sensor, the Ender 5 Plus will immediately pause your 3D print, so no part of your model is lost. Simply feed in new filament and resume the print.

The Power Failure Resume feature is another life-saver. By continuously saving where the printer is in your print's gcode, the Ender 5 Plus is able to pick up where it left off after being interrupted. Even if the power goes out--once it's restored, printing is too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which technology to choose: the method of fusing granules (FGF) or polymer filaments (FFF / FDM)?

What are the kinematics and mechanics of the Discovery equipment?

In this respect, all Discovery equipment differs from budget additive solutions. The products are based on the kinematic diagram of a CNC machine. Gears, pulleys, lead screws, no belts. HIVIN rail guides are used. The entire structure is made with European quality from advanced products in the machine tool industry.

What consumables can be used with Discovery products?

Any material (other than PEEK and PEKK) sold in bars or pellets. First of all, thanks to the heating of the table to 175 ° C and vacuum fixation, as well as due to the installed nozzles made of hardened steel.

How is such a large print platform heated?

A matrix of separate equidistant heaters is built into the platform from the bottom side; these modules provide uniform heating of the surface of the printing platform. The maximum recorded temperature difference over the entire area is 3°C.

How to speed up printing on such large dimensions?

There is a special method for properly emptying the internal volume, which you can learn more about from our technical experts. This procedure will have very little effect on the strength and elasticity of the print object, but will still reduce the time by up to 60%.
It is important to consider that with a large range of large-sized products, it is better to consider Super Discovery 3D Printer or Super Discovery 3D Printer Workstation with a capacity of up to 11 kg / h (depending on the material used).

Is it possible to upgrade this equipment for a specific enterprise?

Yes. Most of the Discovery machines can be upgraded for a specific production project. This is possible, since the equipment was designed for the tasks of Production 4.0, and our specialists will help to integrate it correctly.

What is the warranty for this equipment?

24 months, which is 1.5 - 2 times more than analogues from Europe, Russia and China. Permanent customer support is provided directly by the vendor or iQB Technologies specialists.

How to get a high quality product so that it can be handed over as a final product?

3D printing is basically a high quality preform process. If you need to get the final product, it is suggested to use milling or turning equipment, manual machining, priming, painting or varnishing.
This is often not necessary as the product is not visible.

3D printers with large print area

Our company is engaged in the development and production of large 3D printers according to your specifications One of the latest printers has a print area of ​​0. 5x1.0x1.0 meters. That's right, its print area is half a cubic meter. At the same time, a large 3D printer prints with popular polymers with low shrinkage - PLA, PETG, SBS and various composite plastics. Composite materials for 3D printing are polymers with a filler, usually carbon fiber is introduced as a filler. This is done to improve the characteristics of the material and reduce the shrinkage of printing large objects.

The range of applications for large printers is very wide. This includes the printing of various types of large fixtures and holders for various industries, this is the printing of burnt models for casting into ceramic molds, the creation of large-sized prototypes in the development and production of cases, parts and other large objects. This is the creation of structural custom elements for the final assembly - for example, printing bumpers, fairings, consoles, panels and other elements to create a unique car design. Widely large 3D printers are used to print design elements, master models for making molds, creating molds and tooling when working with XTS for subsequent casting of alloys.

What are the dimensions of large area 3D printers?

Before designing and manufacturing a large 3D printer to suit your requirements, we first discuss issues related to the type of polymers used - this determines whether you need an enclosed or open printer. Then the dimensions of the print area are specified. We can produce professional printers with print area sizes up to 2.0x2.0x2.0 meters, larger areas are discussed separately. Every 3D printer comes with a warranty. If necessary, our specialist will install the printer and initial training on how to work on it.

For several years, our company has been creating custom-made 3D printers according to the individual requirements of customers. What is it for? Some need a specific print area, others need high quality and accuracy, others need reliability, and others need strictly defined dimensions of the printer.

We also produced industrial 3D printers with a large print area for various types of experimental tasks, for example, for a new granular extruder, which is still being developed. It all depends on the desire of the customer and the tasks facing him in the production of printed products. Someone needs large forms, someone needs to print with experimental high-temperature materials.

First, let's dispel the myth - there are no universal large 3D printers. A printer that prints large art objects, such as sculptures or molds for later use, is fundamentally different from a printer that prints structural materials into parts ready for practical use. If you need accurate and beautiful printing of artistic models, then we will manufacture a custom-made 3D printer in Moscow, which will have an open case and will print with common plastics like PLA, PETG, SBS. It is also suitable for printing various forms and toolings that are not used at medium and high temperatures. If you need a printer that prints with engineering plastics, then this is a completely different device - this is an enclosed printer with a thermal chamber. In this case, it is possible to reliably print with high shrinkage resins such as ABS, HIPS, PA6, PA12 nylons.

A very important point when designing a large 3D printer is to take into account the type of extruder, heater, nozzle and printable area used. These parameters determine how accurate and uninterrupted printing will be. In addition, these components directly affect performance. When testing the developed machine, the printing parameters are individually selected - speed, extrusion, profile settings for popular slicers.

For example, we recently built a printer with a printable area of ​​1x1x1.4 meters using a pellet extruder. Why did we use pellet extruder? Because the customer wanted a print output of 1 kg/h. During testing, we achieved a speed of 1.3 kg / h when printing with a layer of 3mm and a nozzle of 6mm. At the moment, the device we have created is actively used for its intended purpose when printing huge decorative vases. More than a hundred kilograms of granules have already been used, and this is only for 1 month.

Contact us and we will consult in detail on the manufacture of a large custom-made 3D printer according to your requirements, we will select the most suitable configuration for you.

Which industries use large 3D printers?

Machine-building industry - for a long time 3D printers are used for the manufacture of various types of equipment of large sizes. It's that kind parts that are used to fix manufactured products on conveyors in various types of technological processes and in CNC processing. At production of prototypes, not only for fitting, but also quite functional details. In the manufacture of molds and molds. In the injection molding industry production of molds from CTS for subsequent pouring with the required alloy.

Design. In this industry, everything is limited only by the imagination. designer. Large printers print household items, vases, furniture, sinks, bathtubs, fixtures and more. Wide choice of materials and post-processing methods allows you to create finished products without intermediate stages.

Architecture. Printing and restoration of fountains, sculptures, bas-reliefs. You can put an extruder on a large 3D printer that prints ceramics and receive extraordinary sculptures.
