For a long time, scientists and technicians have always had an idea of replication technology, but it was not until the 1980s that the concept of 3D printing really began to be realized. But today, many 3D printing objects appear around us, including huge 3D printing buildings, high-tech 3D printing cars, exquisite 3D trinkets... 3D printing is so popular, but 3D printers are mysterious.

As a pioneer of 3D printing, the Czech Republic has launched two 3D printers since its establishment in 2012. At the trade exhibition CeBIT held in Germany, the Czech Republic launched another full-automatic 3D printer "DeeGreen".

Getting started

The size of DeeGreen is 495 x 395 x 390 mm, which is not too large, so it can be placed at home or in the office when the floor space is small. The maximum size of its print roll is 150 x 150 x 150 mm. In short, DeeGreen cannot print items with length, width and height more than 15cm at one time.

The front of the printer has a touch screen and an SD card slot.

On the back is a power switch and a USB port, which are connected to the computer through the attached USB cable. The SD card can also be used to transmit data when it is inconvenient.

To get the printer, we don't need to carry out any assembly. The important parts related to DeeGreen have been assembled, which is undoubtedly a great benefit for novices. But before we start printing, we need to load the printed materials. Of course, we also need to put the glass printing plate in the printer.

After completing the above two small installation steps, the next step is to calibrate the printer. Those who have used 3D printers should know that calibration is an important part of a printer. Ensure the consistency of the whole printing platform and the perfect distance of the print head nozzle. Proper calibration determines the quality of each printed item.

DeeGreen has a built-in sensor that can self calibrate in just a few seconds before each print, greatly reducing the difficulty of user adjustment and saving user time.

On the computer side, we need to know a printing software (this software supports both Windows and Mac). After installing DeeControl, this printing software can load 3D model files. You can look around the model and even simulate the whole process of 3D printing by pulling the mouse.

Some people must be struggling with how to obtain 3D model files. Here are three methods: the first is to select your favorite item models through thingiverse database; The second is to create model files by SketchUp software, which requires a certain painting foundation and high technical content; The last thing is to buy a 3D scanner. You can get the model files of the corresponding items by scanning the items you like around, and then input them into the printer to start printing. However, the price of the 3D scanner is not very cheap.

After completing the 3D model file, we need to save the document, and then input it to the printer to start printing. You can either transfer documents through an external SD card or directly connect the printer to the computer.

According to the printing size and the complexity of the 3D model, it usually takes 20 seconds to complete the saving work. Insert the SD card into the card slot of the printer, and then use DeeGreen's touch screen to start printing. The printing process is fully automatic.

If the printer is directly attached to the computer, it may take half an hour to complete a large 3D model.

DeeControl also supports personalized customization, including the size of 3D objects, print quality, etc.

DeeGreen also supports simultaneous printing of multiple items, provided that the total size of all items does not exceed the size of the print roll (150 * 150 * 150mm).

DeeGreen is an upgraded version of DeeOrange and DeeRed, which has greatly improved the printing speed and details. In the case of setting the highest print quality, it took only one hour to complete an iPhone 4S, Monoprice printer takes 2 hours.

Similar to Monoprice 3d printer, DeeGreen makes some noise when working. Although it is not deafening, it will definitely disturb your normal office work, so it is recommended that you have a separate "print room".

conclusion

As an upgraded version, the DeeGreen printer has greatly improved its printing speed and some detailed descriptions, and it has built-in touch screen, calibrator and simple operating software, which is plug and play, easy to use and easy for small white users.

Unfortunately, DeeGreen is very expensive, with the price as high as $1900. Such a high threshold, coupled with the operating habits of external SD cards, has deterred a large number of users who are willing to buy.
