P3STEEL by HTA3D – DIY

This kit contains the necessary parts to build the P3STEEL redesigned by HTA3D.

Due to its performance this is the model we use for our printings.

Features:

Printing volume: 200x200x210 (XYZ).

Maximum printing speed recommended: 160x160x3 mm/s.

Compatible with all 1.75mm filaments that print under 300ºC (or 245ºC if you prefer the extruder with teflon).

Resolution: 6,25 microns in X and Y, 0.125 microns in Z.

Compatibility with nozzles from 0.2mm to 1mm (0.20 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.80 and 1.00). We recommend intermediate values if it is your first 3d printer (0.4 is ideal).

Improvements:

General:

• Every axis has its endstop clearly indentified in its position. In addition, we use endstops with LED indicator, already welded and wired.

• Cable holder chain for X axis.

• F624zz bearings for the X and Y axis and tensioners.

• Assembly instructions detailed on video (see tab "Assembly Tutorial").

Error Corrections:

• No dead zones, such as the upper side of X axis generated in others versions

• Fixed the problem with the nut that collided Y motor 

• Fixed the problem for which the belt of the Y axis stayed bad alligned and generated unwanted tensions

• Changed the parts that fastened the Y carriage bearings for others that don't deform the bearings, they can't lave their position and they are easier to install. 

HTA3D Extruder:

• Mk8 Pulley, made of stainless steel, provides a very accurate and powerful extrusion

• Hotend V6, ensures greater control over temperature, as well as outstanding performance

• Its location provides us a great advantage in Z (210mm) and minimizes the oscillations

• Layer fan included

• Recommended retraction: from 1,7 to 30mm/s (0.057s)

• Filament presence sensor included- experimental function (present in Marlin 1.1.0 RC2, a release candidate to stable).

Y Carriage lightened:

• Lightened the weight of this part, decreasing the weight in 300 grams.

• The Heatbed is now easily calibrated using only one hand, and thanks to the self locking nuts it will stay calibrated during many printings

Filament support integrated:

• This component is very important as it has a considerable impact on the print quality. Our system includes bearings 608ZZ, which avoids filament jerks and provides a fluid filament supply from start to finish

Electronic Box:

• The electronic is protected from accidental contact, and well refrigerated thanks to a 6cm diameter fan.

Case for the LCD (LCD included):

• Forget about having the printer attached to the computer, you will print independently and will have a total control over the printing.

Protector for the power supply terminals, with switch:

• We have taken care of every detail of this kit, so with this simple component you can turn off and on the printer easily and safely.
  

Dimensions and weight of the 3D Printer:

The weight of the printer may vary depending on the chosen components and extras. For a basic configuration the weight is approximately 11.5 kg.

The outer dimension of the printer is approximately: 47x38x60 cm (having into account a standar coil of filament). We have to bear in mind also that the Y axis (38cm) moves, so it needs some space at the rear and at the front of the printer.
