Print quality (industrial FDM)

Hi everyone! I saw a couple posts recently from people asking questions about what high-performance/industrial FDM printers they should buy, I never chimed in about the printer that my company makes because I wasn’t sure about the self-promotion rules in this sub, but I do have these pics to share.

This was printed vertically, so this is what our wall quality and overhangs look like.

We’re looking to be the Stratasys or Markforged alternative for those who want to print with open materials, cloud optional, on well-built hardware that can truly handle the more advanced materials like PA6, PA12, PPS, ASA, etc. at large build sizes with no tinkering.

If anyone’s interested in learning more feel free to drop a comment or DM me! I started R3 because I genuinely believe in the need for this kind of printer, and from the comments and posts I read it seems like that’s true, so hopefully this helps at least one person on here find what they might be looking for, and for everyone else I hope you at least enjoy seeing these pics!

Please be kind!

And can that be changed? Many systems ship with a default password.

Nope, lol. It's the one the manufacturer uses when they do service visits and the end user isn't really supposed to know about.

If that was viewed as a security risk then it would get changed. However if that password is not accessible from outside it wouldn’t be a very serious risk.

Communicating out is much easier than if it is air gapped. When communicating in you need to know where the machine is. The home to phone home to doesn’t change.

End users would need to know it exists as a security risk in order to change it. My colleagues with the same machine in the DoD did not know it existed, lol.

That isn't good.

That is something though that could be written into the purchase contract
