Delta WASP 40100 Clay 3D Printer

The Delta WASP 40100 Clay is an FDM professional system for ceramic 3D printing. Accurate and reliable, it is successfully used in prototyping and small-scale manufacturing. It can print directly on the floor or on an intermediate removable steel surface (60 cm from the ground). When printing directly on the floor, it enables continuous and fast 3D printing of multiple ceramic objects. Indeed, after completing a print you just need to move the device to start a new production. No need to wait for the previous piece to dry.

This high-temperature 3D printer features a metal-sheet frame, which reduces vibrations while providing high stability and print quality. It employs an LDM WASP clay extruder, which makes it compatible with a broad set of ceramic materials. The extruder features a dosage control system for steady extrusion. The machine is also compatible with the LDM WASP Extruder XL, which is perfect for printing large models in rapid times.

The Delta WASP 40100 Clay comes with a Marine multi-layered wood bed. It is open on three sides for wider accessibility and easy interaction with the printed part. It benefits from a controlled air pressure system. It supports an optional Wi-Fi module for remote control. Continue reading for an in-depth review.

Print quality

The Delta WASP 40100 Clay is an FDM 3D printer that can print layers at 50 microns. This way you can produce parts with smooth exterior surfaces. It works at high speeds, reaching up to 150 mm/s. 

The Delta WASP 40100 Clay 3D printer comes stock with the LDM WASP Extruder, which features a 1.2mm nozzle. The standard LDM clay extruder also supports nozzles of 2mm in diameter. The LDM WASP Extruder XL is compatible with 2, 4, 6, and 8mm nozzles. They all make for high-speed 3D printing.

This is a delta-type 3D printer engineered with anodized aluminum guides and a bearing sliding-system for smooth movement. Since there is minimal vibration of the print bed, the print quality is high. 

Materials

Delta WASP  40100 Clay 3D printer prints with Clays, Porcelain, Gres, Earthenware, and Refractory materials. 

The Delta WASP 40100 Clay 3D printer comes with a dedicated material tank.

Build volume

The build area is Ø15.7 x 39.4 inches (Ø400 x 1,000 mm). It lets your print considerably big 3D models. When using the intermediate plate the height drops to 450 mm.

Printer controls

The printer features an LCD screen and an SD card port for file transfer.

The printer software works well on Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. It supports the most common 3D file formats (STL, OBJ, G-Code) generated by the popular Cura, Simplify3D, and Slic3r software.

What’s in the box

• Delta WASP 40100 Clay 3D printer
• An LDM Wasp Extruder with stainless steel nozzles (Ø1.2mm and 2mm)
• A 5L tank
• A printing plate in Marine multi-layered plywood
