Talos Production and Development Update
Talos is Shipping
Last week we began shipping the first Talos 600 units over a week earlier than projected! Getting the first units out the door has shown us a few things, the Magnum+ has to be a standard offering, and shipping fully assembled units anywhere is financially feasible. In the beginning, we believed the cost of crating and shipping such a large unit would be cost prohibitive but we have been able to work with a crating company and get better LTL shipping to make this possible. We now have the option for all Talos units to get them as a kit in sub-assemblies or assembled for those who just need to get up and running right away. Also, the Slice Engineering Magnum+ is now a standard option for all Talos units.
This is the last week to save up to $2000 on a Talos before the sale ends 10/30
Development
Filament Storage Cabinet- We are currently working on a large spool storage system with the following goals:
Capability of storing up to 10kg spools
Sealed with humidity monitoring and dehumidifying the storage volume.
Easy filament changes
Release Jan-Feb 2024
Chamber Heater- This will be an add-on to any Talos unit, currently we are expecting 1 unit per 600mm in Y with the Talos 1800 using 3 heaters with the following goals:
Plug and play addon with existing electronics
Maintain chamber temps between 70-80c for printing ABS/PC/Nylon materials
Release Dec 23/Jan 24
Vacuum Bed- this will replace the need for a magbed completely, solving the issue where the probe is affected by the magnets. This will also allow for a larger selection of print surfaces such as sheets of ABS, Polycarbonate, or Garolite to be used rather than needing a spring steel base. Spring steel flex plates will still be able to be used as long as one side is smooth. The goals of the Vacuum Bed are as follows:
Plug and play addon with existing electronics
ease of installation for those who want to upgrade
easy print surface removal
Quiet operation
Release Jan-Feb 2024
