You bring the job, we will supply you with the right tool.

The Daedalus 3D printer has been designed from the ground up to be a tool, something you can reliably call on to get the job done. This design was born from needing a replacement for the Project R3D RailCore® 300ZL Fully Assembled units, which are great as a development platform but require tinkering to get the job just right. The Daedalus is ready to run out of the box, no tinkering, no upgrades needed. Load your filament select your file and complete your tasks.

Built to Last

Frame

When we sat down to design the Daedalus we knew the frame had to be robust, we knew 2040 extrusion was the way to go. Where most printers on the market use 2020 extrusion, 2040 gives us an additional 20mm of the mating surface while also having each end to extrusion secured by two bolts rather than one.

Electronics

When it comes to electronics we are using the Duet3 series of control boards, the moment these boards were announced they set the standard for the next several years. The Daedalus comes standard with an Inductive Probe with full shielding to perform consistent and accurate probe points with repeatability of 0.001mm while having no moving parts to limit failure points. The Daedalus comes standard with Wifi and Ethernet. For Print Farms or organizations that need additional computing power for print farm management software, we do offer an SBC.

Motion

The heart of the Daedalus motion system is the Genuine Gates Belt. Your unit has the option for Closed-Loop XY motion ensuring the highest success rate and uptime, Linear Rails, and Lead Screws with Anti-Backlash. Much like the Project R3D RailCore® 300ZL 3D Printer Kits, the Z-axis is driven by three independently drive lead screws allowing for true bed tramming (leveling) across the entire print surface down to <0.01mm. We do still use compensation to adjust for the remaining <0.01mm deviations.

Print Bed

• Magbed with spring steel flex sheet with Garolite applied, made from 0.25in Mic 6 Cast Tool Plate with embedded magnet.

Extruder and Hotend

The following will have the Bondtech LGX Extruder

• E3D Revo with a brass 0.4 nozzle installed.

• Slice Engineering Mosquito with a precision E3D 40w heater, E3D thermistor, and 0.4 Nozzle

• Slice Engineering Mosquito Magnum with a precision E3D 40w heater, E3D thermistor, and 0.4 Nozzle

Printing Reliably at Speed!

When you need a print job done well you tend to sacrifice speed to ensure quality, not anymore! The Daedalus is capable of draft speeds of 200mm/sec at 0.3mm layer heights and high-quality speeds of 120mm/sec at 0.02mm layer heights. With the rock-solid frame and top-of-the-line motion system, you can maintain injection molding quality prints at double to triple the speeds of competitors low-quality prints.

If you have specific materials you need a high-speed profile for please let us know we will happily assist you with that.
