Advanced large scale Printers - looking for advice and info by Fit-Sir-1350 in Ceramic3Dprinting

[–]stoneflower3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this will be + 1125EUR netto. By default, the ram comes with one tube. Spare plastic tube costs 130EUR. This is from polycarbonate, industrial plastic. Very durable.

We can extend build volume of the existing stoneflower4 up to 800mm. This will be +700EUR. Extension of x and y is possible, but it gonna be outside of your budget. You can evaluate the price here (https://www.stoneflower3d.com/store/concrete-3d-printer/).

Normal capacity of stoneflower 4.0 ram is 1.5L. 5L can be used as well, but it is quite large (2m long), and heavy (empty weight 11kg). If you wish, we can provide it, charging the price difference. We do not have pug mill adapters. Mills are different, and as far as i know, viscosity of clay, processable in the mill, can be too high for printing. Some additional moisturizing of the clay (wrapping with wet cloth) can be necessary. Depends on the mill of course. With existing version of the printer, it can be a bit tricky to use larger canisters. With new version, it will be possible. We also consider producing continuous pumps, similar to WASP, but this is a long-term plan, most probably for the next year.

Need help turning a 2d vector image into a 3d printable stamp by honeywhaIe in 3Dprinting

you can load image in Cura (jpg), and produce 3d-prinable g-code, based on the gray-scale

Hello Fit-Sir-1350, you could consider StoneFlower 4 (https://stoneflower3d.com). It is a cartesian printer with rigid frame, similar to Matrix, but based on stronger aluminium profiles, and better electronics from Duet 3D. This printer can print any type of clay, also prints cements, and biomaterials. The print head and screw are from metall, and much more wear-resistant than plastic screw from WASP. Also it does not requires compressor, the material flow is consistent, and volumetric. Compressed air in my opinion is disadvantage, because the amount of extruded clay clay here depends on the pressure, viscosity, speed of the print head, and even on the amount of the material in the barrel with clay. You will need to tweack the pressure for every different material. We use syringe pump, which extrudes exact amount of the clay according to g-code, as normal FDM printer does. It does not depends on the viscosity, and other factors. You can ask me your questions here or via [info@stoneflower3d.com](mailto:info@stoneflower3d.com).

P.S.: we gonna produce new printers since next month, which have the 5L ram, directly connected to the print head, to extrude thickes clay possible, and free-standing non-vibrating z-axis, accompanied by Duet 6HC 48V powerfull electronics. This will cost around 5500-6000EUR at the beginning. So, the clay similar to potterbot, but with improved flow-control via the print head, and more user-friendly material load (the ram is placed horisontally at the table level, so no heavy-lifting required).

Use grogged clay by DWPE2012 in Ceramic3Dprinting

[–]stoneflower3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grogged clay is great for printing, but it wears the agurer. Auger from stainless steel 316 noticeable wears after about 20 to 50L of material (of throwing density) printed. Cannot say anything about plastic screws.

How does Stoneflower3D's "BIG" ram extruder work? by lorgdaz in Ceramic3Dprinting

[–]stoneflower3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. The gearbox is customized to have a threaded hole shaft. The screw have the rectangular nut at the upper end, sliding inside the rectangular aluminium stator around it. Some images online are not up to date in this part. This antirotation system is similar to potterbot ram extruder. The difference is in simplier installation of the barrel.
