iRapid, the German manufacturer of fully-assembled 3D printers introduces its new desktop model BLACK to the market. The dimension of iRapid BLACK is 500 x 350 x 400 mm which is small and lightweight enough to fit in any office, on a desk.
According to iRapid, the diameter of the nozzles is 0.4 millimeters, the individually applied layers are as little as 50 micrometers thin. At the same time the printer can process up to 100 millimeters per second.
A notable feature of iRapid BLACK is the patented drive system. The printing plate is moved by rack and pinion drive; consequently, the device only consists of a few, very rugged components.
Technical specifications:
- Print Technology: Fused Filament Fabrication
- Build Envelope: 250 x 150 x 120 mm
- Filament diameter: 1.75mm
- Layer Resolution Settings: 0.05 ~ 0.30 mm
- Drive system: Patented rack and pinion drive
- Display size: 75x30mm
- Internal memory: 4GB
- Print bed: Removable magnetic print bed

he really needs to move away from the whole idea of moving the XY bed. He should turn the printer upside down and use the rack/pinion to move the head and not the bed. the whole reason all printers do this is because to save space, to move an printbed of 200mm, you need to have free space in all direction, this means the inner space has to be at least 40cmx40cm + framing/hardware = +/-50cm for printer area of 20cm. while other printers like makerbot one use the head for the XY and has a greater printarea to size ratio. It looks better than the earlier version of Irapid, but still... not my cup of tea :). wish him all the best
