Raise3D E2

The Raise3D E2 3D printer is an industrial machine quality and an addition to the school-friendly 3D printers market. Raise3D is best known for its large, reliable dual extruder solutions 3D printing. The Raise3D Pro2 series is mainly found at companies, with the E2 Raise3D focuses mainly on schools. This is mainly reflected in the safety and this 3D printer is more suitable for the most users. The prints those made are still of industrial quality and the E2 is very easy to use.

An interesting addition to their marketing, Raise3D claims their new system is also perfect for educators with an abundance of useful features and a well-supported ecosystem of compatible software and materials that make it friendly to most users. While the previous Pro 2 and Pro 2 Plus were popular, they were in comparison not optimized for education, with features like size that are better tailored to the needs of professional makers.

The Raise3D E2 has a lot of interesting features around it by digging, so let's break it down and take a look!

Built with educators in mind.

All the details of this printer seem to fit in well with the claim by Raise3D that the E2 is perfect for educators. The improved safety features and aspects that significantly increase ease of use magnify are certainly attractive.

Independent twin extruders (IDEX)

Like the popular BCN3D Sigma printers, the Raise3D E2 have an IDEX setup with two independently operated print heads on one single axle. This setup allows double extrusion 3D printing without it disadvantages, such as drip from the idle nozzle, as well as some handy ones print functions. Advertised by Raise3D are "Inverse" en "Duplicate" print, which makes the printer a mirrored version or print a copy of a part. This makes it 3D printing batches of identical parts faster. Like making symmetrical parts such as in the shoe industry, for example.

330 x 240 x 240 build volume

The Raise3D E2 has a smaller build volume than that of the Pro 2 and about the same size as most hobby machines. Including the popular Prusa i3 MK3S and Ender 3 are good comparisons. This change is probably made to fit the useful functions in a compact package, and also reflects the transition to education, where use in one classroom environment does not necessarily require a huge print volume.

Bed leveling and offset calibration with industrial video support

As with the vast majority of the printers in this one price range, the Raise3D E2 is equipped with fully automatic bed leveling system. This allows you to start 3D printing quickly and easily without all to worry too much about that typically problematic first layer.

Closed frame with air filter

The Raise3D E2 is built with a sturdy aluminum frame and features a fully enclosed build chamber and a filament holder with a air filter system. This will help reduce odors and skin warping when 3D printing with filaments such as ABS. The closed frame should not only provide a clean and professional aesthetic, but also the make your printer safer, with sensitive components and moving parts that tidy tucked away behind sturdy metal panels.

A very useful feature for teachers, the E2 pauses automatically the current print when the build chamber is opened. This increased safety significantly in the classroom where prying little fingers easily become entangled in moving parts.

Energy saving and filament run out sensor.

As a trend in new printer releases, the E2 about sensors that detect power failure and filament failure, the print pause and save the progress so that printing can continue when power or filament is restored.

Flexible build plate

The Raise3D E2 has a removable flexible magnetic construction surface with a silicone coating. This allows the deletion of completed 3D prints from the machine are easier and can help streamline it print process, because a used plate can be at the end of a print replaced with a new one, giving the E2 a faster turnaround time.

Additional features of the Raise3D E2 include:

• Color touchscreen.

• Resume print function.

• Filament run out sensor.

• Wifi.

• Closed construction with a closed building chamber.

• Air filter system.
