Introducing the Vision Miner 22 IDEX – a 3D printer that’s set to change the game in high-temperature 3D printing. What makes this machine stand out? Well, it’s not just about printing high-temp materials like PEEK and ULTEM; it’s about being an open material system, offering incredible versatility. This means you’re not confined to specific brands or processes. Whether you want to print large carbon fiber nylon parts, huge ABS components, or experiment with materials like Polycarbonate, PEKK, and Polysulfone, this printer can do it all.
High-Performance Features
Before we dive into the finer details, let’s get a quick overview of the essential specs:
- 500°C nozzles on independent dual extruders
- 200°C heated bed
- 90°C actively heated chamber
- Triple Z-axis motors for precise bed leveling
- Manufactured in Europe
Independent Dual Extruders for Enhanced Capabilities
The Vision Miner 22 IDEX lives up to its name with two independent extruders. These extruders allow both nozzles to quickly reach up to 500°C, enabling you to print two parts simultaneously in various materials. With a fully open material system, you can use nearly any 1.75mm filament, from PLA to PEEK and beyond.
Unlike printers with nozzles side by side, the independent extruders offer distinct advantages. These include options like duplicate mode, mirror mode, and multi-material mode. Duplicate mode essentially allows you to double your throughput by printing two identical parts simultaneously. In mirror mode, you can create mirrored parts simultaneously. The multi-material mode enables the use of different colors, nozzle sizes, or materials, providing endless possibilities.
Advanced Hotend and Extruder
The Vision Miner 22 IDEX features high-quality hotends and extruders. It utilizes volcano-style hotends with copper heat blocks and titanium heat breaks. These components are known for their reliability and easy maintenance.
Moreover, the extruder is of the direct drive type, which means the drive gear is located close to the hot end. It incorporates a dual gear design, ensuring a strong grip for slippery or flexible materials. With these components, you can expect exceptional extrusion performance.
Innovative Bed and Chamber
The heated bed can reach temperatures of up to 200°C within just 10 minutes on a 110-volt power supply. For high-temperature prints, you’ll find the actively heated chamber indispensable. It can reach temperatures of up to 90°C, which is critical for successful 3D printing with high-temperature materials and larger parts. The chamber’s insulation holds up remarkably well even without additional insulation, although future upgrades are in the works.
Precise Bed Leveling and Mesh Leveling
The Vision Miner 22 IDEX takes the hassle out of bed leveling. Unlike traditional manual bed leveling screws, this printer employs a triple Z-motor system for true bed leveling. It not only offers mesh leveling but also automates the process. The mesh leveling, which starts with 16 points, can be customized to provide up to 144 points or more. This system is not only user-friendly but also future-proof for non-planar printing.
High-Speed Motion System
With its HIWIN linear rails, ultra-wide gates belts made from Kevlar, and a quad motor system, the Vision Miner 22 IDEX guarantees high-speed and high-accuracy motion. The quad motor system powers the entire gantry, and the design allows for shorter belts compared to core XY machines. These components combined enable a maximum print speed of 500mm per second. While this sounds impressive, it’s important to note that the standard speed is set at 300mm per second. Different materials and temperatures may lead to various printing speeds, but this printer offers a high degree of flexibility.
Open Electronics and Web Control
The printer comes equipped with Duet web control, allowing you to operate it through any device with a web browser, including PCs, Macs, smartphones, tablets, and more. It eliminates the need for a small screen on the printer itself, and you can control it conveniently from your web-enabled devices. Moreover, voice command integration is on the horizon.
With standard 110-volt power compatibility, the Vision Miner 22 IDEX can be plugged in almost anywhere. It’s recommended to use a 20-amp breaker for optimal performance. The power supplies and wiring are of high quality and manufactured in Germany, ensuring reliability and safety.
