Hi there! Most printers are fairly quiet, but still too loud to be in the same room with for hours. The noise varies on the printspeed and how well the axis’ are lubricated. You could build a box around the printer with noise dampening material on the inside. You might know the foam panels, that audio studios use, to get a very quiet room. If you put that foam on the inside the printer should run very quietly. Cheers, Marius Breuer
The noise produced by 3D printers FFF is directly proportional to the speed of printing, typically at a rate of 50/60 mm / s the sound of a 20x40 DeltaWASP measured at 1 meter in our lab is around 48/50 dB, the measurement environment with the machine off is about 45dB.
I would say therefore that DeltaWASP is a very silent.
Since you are interested in purchasing take a look here:
Of course you can do something, you can make a structure with thicker walls and soundproof. The Delta is in fact a bit noisy, but as you’ll know for sure is so noisy because of a very powerful fan that allows you to print a deck of 15 cm suspended in the air, thereby reducing the need to print media. I had your same doubt when I bought it and I finally put in the room as you. At the time, however, if you began printing had to end it. Today with the “Stop and Save” and “resurrection system” does not have problems when you go to bed and is no longer time to make noise save everything and resume tomorrow However I work in Wasp, if you need anything you can call the company and say you talked to me (Nicolò) or with Sebastiano who speaks very good English, or contact me by email nicolo.guastella@gmail.com If you need anything else available. Hello and see you soon
I’m fairly new about 3D printers but I’m very satisfied of my brand new Wasp Delta.
I can’t say it’s silent but the noise it’s very constant and concentrated in the middle lower frequency (the less annoying).
On buying this kind of machine you must take in count that to print a small object could take 3 hours, so most of the time you better start the print just before leaving the office and get done in the morning.
Dear Helmi56, despite the fact that I really love my Deltawasp I have to say that I heard other brands that are more silent. Sure this is my personal opinion and I did not compare the printers with any instrument or even checking printers one by one in the same day, so i can still be wrong but…when I heard a kenstrapper in a fair or a makerbot I had the feeling it was more silent (or maybe it was just more noisy around?). I am also curious to know other opinions… My Deltawasp 20x40 is in my bedroom and it is really difficult to sleep if it works! 1-the noise, 2-the led lights! suggestion: prepare a sound insulating box to put around when you go to sleep (out of foam, pressed wool or EPS for example). Covering it the whole day would be a pity cause a Deltawasp is beautiful!!! Claudia @ lafilanda3D hub
Printer wasp 20x40 is perhaps one of the quietest but it is impossible to sleep while it is printing. if you have to make special prints you increase the fan speed and noise will greatly increase. I have a 20x40 Delta in the dining room and I never had any complaints.
I think Marius Breuer has given the right advice, creates a box with sound-absorbing panels and enter the printer in careful, however, attention to ventilation of the printer.
Contact me for any information.
