Raise 3D N2 Plus

CuJo3D · 2017-03-15T20:33:19.000Z

Good afternoon, I have had the n2 + for a couple of months now. It has been my first 3D printer so I have nothing to compare it to. I like it, however it has issues and I would never buy another one. The bed did not come level and we are having a hard time making it level. There are lots of brass parts including the nozzle, which causes the need to upgrade almost immediately. We feel like we’ve had to do more repairs on it than what we should based on the number of hours. It has the ability to print a large number of different materials and obviously the print volume are both pluses. I have not used the full print volume yet as I’m having commitment issues to an 8 day print

Buildtak is a texture surface with a self adhesive backing that you apply to the glass printing bed. The textured surface helps the first layer stick to the plate. Buildtak works best with PLA. Problems with build tak is that it’s kinda expensive, wears out and can be easily damaged when you sue a scraper to remove prints.

No problem, it’s a build surface you put on the top of the glass sheet. It keeps your object adhered to the base as it prints.

I have used both… I don’t have any issues with ideaMaker and it’s free

does it work good with nylon and ninjaflex/polyflex too?

where do you buy it? can you get it thru Raise?

jcamper · 2017-03-15T21:05:31.000Z

I’ve heard good things, I’m going to try it anyway

bvandenbroeck · 2017-03-15T21:23:27.000Z

Yes but it’s generally cheaper to get on Amazon.

why the bondtech? is the extruder not good on the raise?

bvandenbroeck · 2017-03-16T18:25:16.000Z

It’s a great extruder but the bondtech is unique in how it handles flexible filament. General printing performance is great without the upgrade.

Stanos · 2017-03-16T19:16:18.000Z

The bondtech upgrade isn’t necessary unless you really need it or just want to. The V2 extruder are actually very good. The biggest issue I have is with heat buildup in the metal block that it’s made of when using abs and other high temp filaments. Just make sure any parts you print to put on the block like a filament guide are not pla.

That’s funny. I busted the same ends top because I was manually pulling it back too hard. Just email the customer service and they will create a listing for you to buy a couple if they aren’t available on the parts page.

I’ve have decided to move forward with the Raise 3d n2 plus. Wish me luck. Lol

Great, please share your experiences! Feel free to give me a call if you’d like to answer a few more questions before your order: 859-903-5857

jcamper · 2017-03-18T21:13:15.000Z

I appreciate it. I’m completely new to 3d printing so I’m sure I will be asking alot of dumb questions

bvandenbroeck · 2017-03-18T23:19:33.000Z

To be expected at anything new. I’ll be happy to answer little questions here or there, otherwise I’ll forward you to other online support groups. If you buy the printer through ArtLab (at no cost difference to you) I can offer a lot.more help.

jcamper · 2017-03-20T01:58:05.000Z

What I think is a quick and easy question. The way I understand it the Raise 3D N2 Plus comes with the bed pre-leveled. How do you confirm that it’s level and make adjustments if needed? Note: I don’t have the printer yet.

bvandenbroeck · 2017-03-20T03:52:00.000Z

The bed does certainly come pre-leveled. It’s very rigid. You can watch this video to get more info on what you should do once your Raise3D has arrived: - YouTube

In short, you calibrate the distance between the nozzle and the bed with a knob on the left hand side of the machine. If you are replacing the bed sheet or buildtak, always be sure to check this before printing. Move the extruder by hand to the front, left corner and then Home the Z axis using the touch screen. You can see more in that video above.

that doesn’t sound to bad

How does the BondtecExtruder help as have had no success with flexible materials like Ninja flex

Also had nothgin but problems in general with dual extrustion and attemps to use supprt materials Hipps, poly support and PV along with Nylon and Poly PC
