Raise3D Pro3 Plus 3D Printer

The Raise3D Pro3 Plus is a professional dual extrusion FDM 3D printer distinguished by the double-extended Z-axis — 605 mm versus 300 mm in the original Pro3. Like the standard model, the Plus version boasts multiple improvements compared to the previous series, Pro2. The upgraded design includes a stiffened Z-axis rod and lightweight cable with digital temperature measurement instead of a drag chain cable for an accurate temperature reading. The all-metal frame ensures smooth movement and accurate positioning for a higher quality print job. The dual extrusion system makes for enhanced features such as producing dual-color models as well as dual-material models.

The independent modular extruder with the interchangeable hot end feature enables the Pro3 Plus to print with a variety of filaments, reduce clogging, and allow for the convenient disassembly and replacement of components with fast nozzle switching. As usual, Raise3D equipped its product with useful smart features. The auto bed leveling creates a uniform build area and improves bed adhesion, while the print recovery function and filament run-out sensor contribute to failure-free printing. The machine also has a second-generation power loss function due to which it saves the printing status in the event of a power outage and can continue printing from the same point when power is restored.

The machine is ideal for professionals, fulfilling the requirements of large-scale production and multi-sized rapid prototyping; it is a good choice for makers and hobbyists as well.

Print quality

The Pro3 Plus professional FDM printer can print layers at 10 microns, meaning you can produce parts with very smooth exterior surfaces and create intricate shapes with fine detail.

The printer is equipped with a flexible steel build plate. It is used to easily remove printed parts while minimizing potential damage to the final print. The Pro3 is also compatible with a rigid and a high-temperature borosilicate glass build plate.

The Pro3 Plus has five interchangeable print nozzles of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 mm in diameter to meet different project requirements.

The print head runs on rods with linear bearings, making the design more simple, lightweight, and effective for more stable print quality. The Z-axis rod stiffness has been increased by 75% to deliver a more stable performance.

Materials

The Raise3D Pro3 Plus prints with a wide variety of materials: PLA, ABS, HIPS, TPU, PC, Nylon, TPE, FLEX, PETG, Metallic PLA, Wood PLA, Carbon Fiber, etc.

The extruder comes with a fan for printing PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing, and other common issues. In turn, the new Air Flow Manager equipped with a HEPA air filter creates a stable environment inside the chamber and cleans the air inside improving heat dissipation and overall air circulation.

Unlike many FDM dual-extruder 3D printers, the Raise3D Pro3 has a heated print bed and closed print chamber, which means it can reliably print with ABS-type materials. With the extruder being capable of reaching 300 °C, the device can print with some high-temperature materials, for example, carbon fiber. 

The Pro3 series supplies its own branded filament as well as runs the Open Filament Program, providing recommendations on which filaments perform best with the machine.  

Build volume

The build area of 11.8 x 11.8 x 23.8 inches (300 x 300 x 605 mm) lets you print just about anything in one go, without splitting the models into parts. (With dual extrusion printing, the build volume becomes 10 x 11.8 x 23.8 inches, or 255 x 300 x 605 mm.)

Printer controls and software

The printer can be controlled via PC or its built-in 7-inch color touchscreen that features great usability and user-friendliness. What is more, it offers EVE smart assistant that can guide you to locate and resolve issues that could affect the quality of your print jobs. Moreover, it gives users reminders about regular scheduled interventions to ensure that printer maintenance is performed on time. EVE also helps reduce time and communication costs for an efficient maintenance process.

3D models can be printed from a computer via LAN, over Wi-Fi, or using a USB disk. The built-in HD camera enables you to keep track of every final print job remotely and control the 3D printing process while on the move.

The printer uses the ideaMaker slicer which supports STL, OBJ, 3MF, and OLTP file formats. The software is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
