Print quality

The Flashforge Finder is an FDM 3D printer that can print layers at 100 microns. The surface finish is not as smooth as you get with the more expensive printers, but is more than enough for prototyping and household use.

Look at the two vases below. Even though you can see the layers, they look sufficiently good and are fully functional.

the layers look sufficiently smooth and are fully functional.

The Flashforge Finder has a 0.4 mm nozzle, giving you the best balance between speed and detail. For example, it lets you print a tiny miniature with acceptable details, just like the little man below. At a closer look, you can even see his nose and thumb.

The noze, hair, fingers are all well-defined:

The The print head runs on rods with linear bearings, making the design more simple, lightweight and effective, all characteristics that are desirable in a 3D printer.

The detachable printing platform allows you to easily remove the printed models reducing the risk of cracks. 

 

Materials

Flashforge Finder prints with PLA, TPU 95, and Wood. 

This PLA-made T-51b armor comes directly from the well-known Fallout videogame. 

As you can see, thanks to the fan-cooled extruder the model isn’t affected by warps or strings. Adopting a cooling system generally makes for higher quality prints.

Build volume

Build volume

The build area is 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches (140 x 140 x 140 mm). Larger models can be printed in parts and then be assembled using acetone (for ABS) or glue (for PLA). This little Iron Man’s helmet is a great example.

The different parts were printed separately and then assembled together.


Printer controls

The printer is controlled via an intuitive 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen. It provides a 3D preview of the printing files and keeps you constantly updated about the overall printing status.
