Itâs a big octagon sticker (about 6-8") with âWARNINGâ at the top and a little capsule in the middle. It looks something like the one attached. (I donât donât have a Raise3D box handy to photograph.) They are usually on anything with electronics or glass that is shipped via freight these days. Iâve also seen these on boxes that weigh over 30lbs through FedEx and UPS. (The manufacturer adds these, not the shipper).
Itâs been on the box of all three Raise3D printers Iâve received over the past year. If the capsule center is red, it means that the box experienced an impact during shipment that was above the ânormalâ levels during shipment (different color tags are for different levels of gforces). You are supposed to note on the shipping doc you sign if the center is red or partially red.
If you ever watched the show Mythbusters, they would stick these stickers on Buster, their crash test dummy to determine if a human would have survived whatever myth they were testing.
You are supposed to note on the waybill when you sign if the shock tag has been triggered.
Sorry, Iâm in the US, so I can not speak to what is done for shipment in any other country.
Why do you say Simplify 3D is a must? Is ideamaker not good?
Ideamaker is actually quite good. These folks probably used a beta version or something early during the Kickstarter because I have no issues and use nearly every function. They also update quite regularly.
I have one and I like it⌠it works pretty good out of the box with PLA. The only issues are with large prints with ABS and these are typical issues youâd have with warping and bed adhesion. The factors involved are the quality of the ABS filament and the type of surface you are printing to. I have found that using glass with either capton or some other surface stuck to the glass and Elmers purple gluestick works the best. Also securing the glass to the heated bed with silicon pads on the corners is better than the clips they provide.
Itâs not the fastest printer but I like the large volume and felt the cost justified not having to deal with building a system with an equivalent volume.
Iâm sorry whats BuildTak? Iâm new to all this Iâm sorry if its a silly question

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 weâve 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 Iâm 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 itâs kinda expensive, wears out and can be easily damaged when you sue a scraper to remove prints.
No problem, itâs 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 donât have any issues with ideaMaker and itâs free
does it work good with nylon and ninjaflex/polyflex too?
where do you buy it? can you get it thru Raise?
Iâve heard good things, Iâm going to try it anyway
Yes but itâs generally cheaper to get on Amazon.
why the bondtech? is the extruder not good on the raise?
Itâs a great extruder but the bondtech is unique in how it handles flexible filament. General printing performance is great without the upgrade.

The bondtech upgrade isnât 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 itâs 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.

Thatâs 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 arenât available on the parts page.
