Wellzoom 耗材擠出機

(Translated by Naomi)

上個星期我偶然在淘寶上發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個“WELLZOOM"耗材擠出機：http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36088377887

它看起來挺有趣的所以我就聯(lián)系了這個工廠的主人張先生，他非常友善的把機器帶過來并且演示給我們看。

耗材打印機外殼是ABS塑料，我們就運送過程中出現(xiàn)貨物損壞的問題談?wù)摿艘欢螘r間，箱子和泡沫材料似乎對于包裝這項任務(wù)來說是比較充足的。110V和可調(diào)整的電流輸入是可供選擇的然而我卻沒有看到一些所謂的線圈儀器。

WELLZOOM并沒有解決一些耗材擠出機的存在的問題。就跟大多數(shù)機器一樣，一種撿起擠出的塑料絲方法需要把它卷起來。就如你在圖片中看到的第一米塑料絲有一些彎曲直到后來到達一定的重量才開始整齊地輸出。

我們第一批PLA材料擠出來的的尺寸稍微小了一點而且呈微黃色的，因為之前張先生測試了以木為原料的塑料絲所以一些過大的顆粒仍然保持在擠出口。在清潔完壓模之后我們測試了ABS材料，它出來的尺寸大概是1.68+/-.04 大概有4米長。那時已經(jīng)沒有空隙，瑕疵和微粒。在把第一米粗糙的塑料絲裁剪之后，用肉眼或者是測徑器都分辨不出它和我平時用的中國打印塑料絲的區(qū)別。

我使用的是一臺UP PLUS 2的打印機來測試。THE UP缺乏裝簧空轉(zhuǎn)輪和一個可調(diào)節(jié)的溫度所以眾說周知它對打印耗材是十分挑剔的。我能夠在沒有問題的情況下打印完了幾米塑料絲。同樣地，我的LEAFFROG CREATR和PRINTRBOT在沒有滑落和卡住的情況下簡單地擠出了一米的材料。這兩臺打印機都有彈簧托輥和可調(diào)節(jié)的溫度所以比起THE UP更容易打印材料。

Last week I came across this “Wellzoom” filament extruder on Taobao:

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36088377887

There was some interest so I contacted the factory owner Mr. Zhang and he was nice enough to bring it over for a demonstration.

The enclosure is ABS plastic, we spoke at some length about the issue of breakage in shipping, the box and foam packaging seems sufficient to the task. Both 110v and adjustable feed though are available at options- as is some sort of winding apparatus which I did not see.

The Wellzoom does not solve any of the standing usability issues with filament extruders. Like most, some means to pick up the extruded filament needs to be rigged. As you can see from the images the first meter will have some kinks in it until there is sufficient weight to feed cleanly.

Our first batch of PLA came out slightly undersized and yellowish since it had just been previously used to test wood based filament and some oversize particles remained. After cleaning out the die we tested with ABS, the size was about 1.68 +/-.04 over four meters. There were no voids, blemishes or particles. After trimming off the first rough meter it was not particularly distinguishable, either with the naked eye or caliper from other Chinese filament I typically use.

I used an Up Plus 2 for testing. The Up lacks both a spring loaded idler and adjustable temperature so is notoriously finicky about filament. I was able to print the several meters I had without issue. Likewise my Leapfrog Creatr and Printrbot Simple extruded a meter of the filament without slipping or jamming. Both of those printers have spring loaded idlers and adjustable temperature so are far more forgiving than the Up.

中英文版評測報告，不錯，很專業(yè)。Professional

擠絲機做的也很漂亮

請問這個是用ABS那個型號的啊  塑膠原料產(chǎn)家是？

nice~~~~~~~~~~

貌似看著很麻煩，顆粒會便宜些嗎？

擠絲機做的也很漂亮

This machine is very beautiful. how was the print results?

打印的質(zhì)量很好。跟我使用過的其他中國塑料絲一樣好。當然一切都是取決于使用的塑料

這個貌似很牛B

不知道這個原材料貴不貴啊？如果很便宜的話，那么以后大家就可以在家里去生成耗材了
