We have been listening to 3D printing for several years, but the price and entry threshold of 3D printers are too high, which seems far away from ordinary consumers. At the end of 2014, Taiwan manufacturer Sanwei International launched a consumer grade 3D printer - da Vinci 1.0. Its technical parameters are not outstanding, but its price of 3999 yuan is quite impressive.
And it finally came to our evaluation room. This time we got its derivative model, da Vinci 1.0 AiO, which can perform 3D scanning. Although its price of 8999 is not as good as that of the entry version, it has a cool physical scanning function, which can be used to copy various models or parts. Before the evaluation, let's see what the 3D printer looks like.
Packaging&Accessories
The packaging of the machine is very huge, with the model printed on the long side. The abstract "XYZ printing" above is actually the name of the manufacturer.
On the other side are the specifications of the machine. The printing technology used by the machine is the fuse manufacturing method (FFF). The single column print head can achieve a printing accuracy of up to 100 microns. The total body weight is 27.5kg
Remove the package surrounded by the outside of the machine body. The accessories include the printing material box, calibration board and power cord in the middle. The accessories on the right are fixed on a piece of cardboard.
The left side is a "stack" of instructions, and the right side is the use tips, warranty cards, and software CDs.
The calibration plate is actually a plastic plate with calibration graphics.
The most commonly used maintenance accessories are three of them: solid glue, and shovel and brush for cleaning the adhesion between solid glue and printed products.
Solid glue used to fix the scanning object.
Clean the metal brush of the printing board.
A consumable box similar to a small oil tank is surrounded by a circle of hot melt printing wire with a diameter of 1.75mm and a weight of 600g. The white one in the middle is a reel.
There are 3 contacts at the bottom of the box, and the top is the outlet of the hot-melt wire.
fuselage
The size of the machine is similar to that of a half cut refrigerator. On the front is a magnetic transparent plastic door, on both sides are dark blue transparent plastic plates, and there are two handles for handling.
On the top of the front is an opening similar to a speaker, and on the right is a status indicator display screen and simple buttons.
There is only an electrical nameplate on the back, and the maximum power of the machine is 480W.
Next to the nameplate is the interface slot with a protective cover. On the top is the USB-B interface commonly used in office equipment, and below is the switch and power interface.
Open the front cover and top cover, and the inside is also covered with buffer materials for protection.
The installation instructions of the consumable box are on the top cover.
Put a consumable box in the rear of the fuselage, and take out the wire to pass through the reserved opening.
Put the wire into the print head in the "print bin".
After removing the protective material, the print bin is unexpectedly simple. The printer is an iron frame and plastic cover plate structure. The printing platform is in the middle, and the track of the print head can be seen at the back and top.
There are two scanners on both sides.
The core print head of the printer is mounted on a stainless steel track, with a function oriented design and a strong geek flavor.
The detailed experience evaluation will be completed later, please wait.
