Print Chamber Installed

We now have the print chamber finished and installed on our massive machine. The chamber will be operated at a toasty 800F during printing glass (it will be put to use for pizza firing undoubtedly after a days run) that allows the inter-printed layers to adhere (and at optical quality), grow without warping and or cracking and to anneal so a printed piece doesn’t self-implode at some time in the future.

Our 21" diameter kiln shelf will ride on springs. We have found this to be a critical feature for FDM printers we have used.

Our 4KW stove element is connected 1000F rated wire. Nice stuff!

All insulated and looking toasty. We will be able to print objects larger than the 21" kiln shelf.
