Isis3D, a young yet highly ambitious 3D printer startup, has just released an improved version of its Isis One desktop 3D printer.

Now featuring precision-aligned powerful dual extruders for soluble support, the Isis One is able to print simultaneously in standard thermoplastic and water-soluble PVA. The printer automatically generates support structures which cleanly dissolve away after the print is finished, making possible the creation of complex geometries.

Each extruder has two driven feed wheels, geared to provide 135 N cm of torque. "It never slips, strips, or jams." says the startup. "And, with such a small melt chamber, each extruder commands very tight control over the filament, eliminating ooze and stringing, and allowing sustained standard 150 mm/s infill speeds."

The new dual extruder Isis One also features dynamic bed leveling, a system that automatically probes the print bed at the beginning of each print and uses the printer's Z system to compensate for the actual plane of the bed. In addition, it boasts a fully heated borosilicate glass bed for unparalleled first layer adhesion. Moreover, its massive 300 x 300 x 225 mm (12 x 12 x 9 inch) build volume empowers users not only to iterate quickly but also to do short run production in house. The Isis One further facilitates production printing with its LCD Smart Controller console, which allows standalone, computer-free printing.

Specifications:

• Build area: 300 x 300 x 225 mm (12 x 12 x 9 in)
• Infill/inner perimeter print speed: 150 mm/s
• Outer perimeter print speed: 20 mm/s
• Material: PLA, PVA soluble support
• Filament size: 1.75 mm
• Build platform: Heated borosilicate glass
• Nozzle size: 0.35 mm

To create the Isis One, Isis3D's team invested over a year in engineering a robust and reliable machine completely from scratch. "When we started out, we saw a ton of consumer printers on the market, almost all of which were suffering from the same reliability and print
quality problems," says Stephanie Avalos-Bock, co-founder. "Our goal was to close the gap between the cheap, toy printers and the outrageously expensive professional machines."

The new dual extruder Isis One desktop 3D printer is available for order for $2399, which includes starter spools of PLA and PVA filament, as well as a KISSlicer Pro license. Isis3D is currently shipping its considerable backlog of pre-orders and is quoting a lead time of 12 weeks on new orders. Shipping is currently free within the continental United States and Canada.

Ms. Avalos-Bock is inventing fictions. I never "started breaking things." In addition, I was never paid, unless full pay is $5 per hour. We are in back-wage proceedings right now. What Ms. Avalos-Bock is doing is evading the question: What is her plan on getting 50 customers their 3D printers, or a refund on their money? Some have been waiting almost 3 years. She is still trading on her Isis3D experience to get work, without telling the gory details underneath, the part about stiffing customers. I left Isis3D with a solid assembly line and a parts inventory for 50 printers. By my calculations, Isis3D likely had at least $60,000 in the bank. I'd like to know where that money went and why they suddenly folded just a few weeks after I left. I'm guessing it's because Steph and Marc learned they didn't have the grit to use good quality-control technique in making the printers. As a kindness to Isis3D customers, I am still collecting information on any Isis3D orphans, for what it's worth. I can't help you get your money back, but if there is anything else I can do for you, I am at your service. I'm at pete@zelchenko.com.

Has anyone received their money back yet? It's been over a year and they took our money and never delivered our product.

Steph, co-founder of Isis3D here. Our website was down briefly due to an error on Shopify's part, and is now back up. Anyone needing assistance should contact us at info@isis3d.net and we will respond as soon as possible. Peter Zelchenko was fired eight months ago after he lost control of himself and started breaking things. He is not authorized to speak on behalf of Isis3D. Peter was paid in full for his services and has no claim against us. Anyone who shares information with him does so at their own risk.

Between August 2013 and April 2014, I was Isis3D's only employee, and I had significant managerial duties. There is really nothing of substance I can do to help any customers get your printers or money at this time, and in fact I have a claim pending against them as well. I've heard from a couple of you and would like to maintain supportive contact with all Isis3D customers. Please e-mail me at pete@zelchenko.com and I'll act as the point person for keeping you all in contact, and also will provide you all with your contact information.

Isis3D stole my money. What they have done amounts to fraud in my opinion. If you take someone's money in exchange for a product, then never deliver the product, refuse to return the money, and cut off all communication, is that not fraud? Their phone number is a google voice number, lol!

I ordered the printer on December 2013 and Stemming to contact the company for progress has led me nowhere. Ontop of that there site is down making me question what exactly is happening with them?

LB wrote at 7/31/2014 5:48:19 PM:

I ordered the print in August of 2013. Have received story after story of development issues, bad boards and such. Was told in March of 2014 that it would ship within a week or two. Now it's the end of July and still no printer. Could have used it to save cost on at least 6 projects in the last 4 months and had to no quote on request since I have no idea when or if I will ever see this printer in my office. The ever increasing delays in only compounded by the companies unwillingness or inability to respond to inquiries in a timely manner. 6 out of my last 7 emails have gone unanswered so far. The only one receiving a response lately was after contacting the Better Business Bureau. Initial excitement as long since turned to disappoint and dismay.

Still, when making an obviously derived product, to call it an all-new, from-scratch design just seems very dishonest. "bigger bed" just takes adjusting a parameter. A new slide system is easy to adapt in, and I do think it's a weakness of the MM2 design. The extruder system is designed to be taken out and swapped.

I got a quick response this time and will give them a chance to make good. If it works like they say, it will be worth it. Sounds like a small growing company just trying to fill lots of orders. So for now I give them credit for responding and they said I would have my printer soon. I'll post back to let everyone know how it performs.

It took nine months to deliver. Was broken badly in pieces when it arrived. I sent it back with their return label. Now they won't respond at all. After one month of waiting, I'm disappointed in the customer service to say the least over $2000.00 later. I was impressed with what they said you could do with it but so far it's just really good at taking your money and printing nothing. We mentioned this to clients and i've lost at least 3 jobs now waiting. I don't mention it to the clients anymore until we actually get a 3D printer that arrives at our office and actually works. One of my clients actually bought a maker bot after I mentioned the Isis One to them and they have been printing for months now. I was in their office yesterday and saw all the cool things they printed. Of course they ask me about my Isis One. Well that was not a good experience to tell them how so far we have nothing and it appears we have been duped and our money is gone. So disappointed in Isis to say the least. Do yourself a favor and shop somewhere else for a 3D printer. I'll be glad to change this rating to a more positive one if I could just get an answer from the company to tell me where my printer is. For now... I give them a 0 out of five stars.

Not worth the money. Beware.

We’ve had this Isis 3d printer for 2.5 months and not only has it never worked, the list of things that went wrong with it is a mile long. The customer service (which started off well) turned into nothing but lies and promise after promise after promise and never follow through. I have been begging these guys to get this thing operational for 8 weeks now, still no resolution. The printer is faulty, the customer service is horrible. I lost a client due to this printer not being operational and their failure to fix it in a timely manner. These guys have a lot to learn about business.

Hi jd90! It's easy to mistake the Isis One as a MendelMax 2 derivative, but about all they have in common is similar frames. The Isis One features a powerful new dual extruder printhead, far more rigid, quieter linear systems (we tested over a dozen varieties of linear rails and were quite unsatisfied with all of them), and a bigger print bed and build volume with dynamic bed leveling. The print quality, well, that speaks for itself. :) http://www.isis3d.net/pages/sample-prints-gallery

Completely from scratch? It looks like a reworked MendelMax 2.0. Changing other's open designs is fine, please don't claim that you're being original. I do like the changes. I just wish they were honest about the inspiration.
