Dye Powder & Resin Parts..the Easy Way! The 3DC Dyeformer Dye is a proprietary liquid dye that is optimized to work with the 3DC Dyefomer. The 3DC Dyeformer Dye takes the guesswork out of getting your SLS, MJF, SAF, SLA, DLP, MSLA and Resin parts to an even color and is specially formulated to dye parts without streaking or splotches. For color dyes, the end results will be dependent on the underlying base material. How to Use with the 3DC Dyeformer: Fill the 3DC Dye Tank with fresh tap water to the fill line Open 1x bottle of the 3DC Dyeformer Dye and Pour into the Dye Tank* Sit back and relax, you are ready to dye some parts!

3DC Dyeformer Dye

The Simple and Affordable Way To Dye Polymer Powder and Resin Parts The Dyeformer was designed to take the complexity out of dyeing 3D printed parts. Gone are the days of guessing the perfect temperature, time, and dye formulation. With the perfectly portioned 3DC Dye, the Dyeformer is able to dye your powder (SLS, MJF, SAF) and Resin (SLA, DLP, CLIP) parts repeatedly for 30 days with a single button press. Features One Button Operation The 3DC Dyeformer comes pre-programmed with the ideal temperature, flow rate and time to dye PA12 parts. After the initial setup, you simply drop in your parts, hit start and walk away...the system does the rest! After an hour, the cycle is complete and the system chimes, letting you know it is time to remove your parts and place on the drying rack. Now In Color Now unlock the rainbow and dye any powder or resin parts in one of our 8 new dye colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Teal & Magenta). Our color dyes are non-toxic and reusable for up to 24 hours. For parts large and small! The internal tank dimensions are 11.5 x 19.5 x 6in for some huge SLS parts! For smaller parts, the standard stainless steel basket fits inside the tank perfectly with dimensions of 16 x 8 x 4in, for a volume of over 500 in3! And the XL stainless steel basket is twice the volume for maximum throughput, with a size of 17 x 9.5 x 6in!! How does it work? The proprietary 3DC Dyeformer Dye is combined with water and heated to a precise temperature, which helps to relax the polymer strands to permanently absorb the dye. After the process is complete, parts are left to dry and the dye remains in polymer.

Off-Cloud Operation Fully Functional With LAN Only Mode The X1E can operate independently without a connection to Bambu Cloud Service, fully functional within your local network. Customers can remotely control the X1E through LAN communication without requiring an Internet connection. 320°C /608°F Nozzle Temperature, Unlocking Greater Heat for High-Temperature Materials Higher nozzle temperature makes it possible to print higher performance materials with improved dimensional stability, heat resistance and mechanical performance, such as PPA-CF/GF PPS and PPS-CF. Active Heating And Controlled Chamber Temp; Reduce Warping, Improve Layer Bonding The X1E can actively heat and regulate the chamber temperature. Accurately controlled chamber temperature (up to 60°C or 140°F) improves print quality, especially for filaments prone to warping such as ABS and PC. Heavy Duty Air Filtration; Effectively Filter Particulates And VOCs Generated by 3D Printing We combined a G3 pre-filter, an H12 HEPA filter, and a high-quality coconut shell activated carbon filter to provide optimal air filtration. Enhanced filtration can effectively reduce excessive odors and particulates when printing in less ventilated environments. Robust High Speed Core XY; Super Fast And Rigid Structure For Continuous High Speed Printing The superior carbon-fiber rods in the Core XY motion structure enable the X1E to achieve a toolhead acceleration of 20,000 mm/s² by reducing the weight of moving parts. This faster acceleration allows the X1E to maintain its maximum travel speed of 500 mm/s for longer periods, significantly reducing overall print time. Vibration And Extrusion Compensation; Stable & Quality Prints Even At Higher Speeds X1E can actively compensate for XY-axis vibrations and extrusion issues to ensure exceptionally smooth print quality. All measurements are fully automatic, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. AI Failure Detection; Reduce Filament Wastage And Machine Downtime The X1E's AI algorithm can detect first-layer imperfections and spaghetti failures with the assistance of Lidar and computer vision. It then automatically pauses the print to prevent catastrophic failures. Intelligent Filament Management Supports Auto Filament Reload and Enables Multi-Material Printing with Support Material for Improved Surface Quality. X1E can parallel connect 4 Bambu AMS systems to print with up to 16 spools of filaments, good for printing dedicated support materials for seamless surface and printing multi-color. The AMS system also supports automatic filaments reload, to used up all filament on one spool before switching to the next. Testimonials "BTW, update on our printer. Holy crap, for prototyping this thing is an animal. We have been printing multiple parts for weeks now with some tight tolerances and it’s been able keep up and get us extremely accurate prints sometimes down to the last 0.001” without us even accounting for the correction factor of the expansion/contraction of the material as it prints. And all on default settings. Its also so fast some engineers are having a hard time keeping up with rapid design iterations, so I tell them to print several variations at once if the space allows. So thank you again for helping me get this thing in here for us, much appreciated." - Sr. Engineer, Medical Device Company What's Included: The X1E Combo is $2499 and includes the following items in the box: 1x X1E 3D Printer 1x AMS 1x High Temp Build Plate (PEI) 1x 0.4mm Hotend (installed) 1x 0.6mm Hotend (extra) 3x Bambu Filament Samples (Random) 1x Accessory Box Bundles BUNDLE WHATS INCLUDED: Starter 1x X1E Standard Package, PLUS 1x X1 Series Basic Training 1x USA Shipping 1x X1 Series Toolkit 1x X1E Support Plan Education Everything in the Starter BUNDLE, PLUS 2x Bambu PLA (1kg) 2x Bambu PETG (1kg) 1x 0.4mm Hotend Engineering Everything in the Starter BUNDLE, PLUS 2x Bambu PAHT CF (0.5kg) 2x Bambu ASA (1kg) 1x 0.6mm Hotend 1x 0.8mm Hotend 1x Dual Sided PEI 1x PrintDry Pro3 Filament Dryer Related Products X1E Complete Hotend PrintDry Pro3 Installation and Training Annual Support Plan
