Flashforge Guider IIS: Large build area professional machine with outstanding quality.
The Guider IIs v2 is a prosumer 3D Printer, and provides the good quality for an FDM printer of this size. The 360 degree nozzle duct cooling - which focuses air on the plastic as it comes out of the extruder nozzle from all directions, so it cools and hardens immediately!
Add to that the usability feature of WiFi - so you can send prints from anywhere on the network, and a fast responsive touch screen. We have found a new office favorite!
Hot End
This machine comes with the Flashforge 300 degree hot end. It is also known as the red hot end as the fan duct at its base is red for the 300 degree hot end.
Flashforge have claimed it can print Carbon Fiber. We doubt this as in our experience PTFE and abrasives do not work well together. We upgrade these machines with the Microswiss all-metal kit for this application (order 3DPFFguider2sUP to have us fit it for you).
Volume
The guider operates at around 65db. (This is louder than normal speech- FYI)
Build Area
You get 280mm in width (x), 250mm depth (y) and 300mm in height (z). You can chose to use the flexible removable bed, or the glass plate beneath.
Professional Build Quality
The innovative extruder system completely encircles the nozzle with cooling, providing instant cooling and setting of PLA materials; meaning you can virtually print in the air. Our tests at 25 degree inclines provide perfect printing with no support.
Connectivity
WiFi, USB stick, USB cable, Ethernet
It offers all the connection options you would expect from a professional machine like this; plus on board memory for those repeat jobs.
Large 5 full colour LCD touch screen interface allows you to control this machine un-tethered. You will find the graphic interface intuitive and screens highly assistive during routines like leveling. You also get a thumbnail preview of your model in the print menu screens and settings on that file.
FlashPrint Slicer
The FlashPrint slicer is one of the most powerful we have ever used. You can also use other slicers, like simplify 3D if you want. FlashPrint, however, includes:
In-build model checking and healing (for mesh integrity)
On the fly cropping and cutting of model into parts (or trimming a base flat for example)
JPG and BMP to 3D extrusion - so you could take a drawing or logo and turn it into a 3d extrusion and even lay that on a curved stl!
Tree Support - if you have not used this it will change your life! Tree support uses about 1/10th of the plastic or traditional support, and unlike other brands, Flashforge support tapers to a point so removal can be done by hand with no residue or dangerous tools required.
Dimensional compensation is now a built in feature, so you can input the shrinkage rates on ABS for example, and the software will adjust for it
Heated bed and easy levelling
Assisted by a pivot down sensor that sounds a bell to allow you to know when you have the right spot. This being said, the mechanical design is so robust that we did not need to level when it arrived by plane from china; not when we drove it to the Inside 3D expo or back.
The bed is heated, so you can print almost any material on this machine; and made from thick cast aluminium with a tough glass top - for a perfectly flat build surface all the time
Body Strength and Design
Everything about this machine is beautifully over engineered for quality and reliability
With an all-metal frame design and body side panels of high strength ABS; the Guider II is a machine designed to last, and provide incredibly stable reliable printing; while taking up the minimal footprint required for its build size - no wasted space here!
All rods are 12mm thick (standard is 8mm), so you will find movement is smooth and reliable; and there is no chance they are ever going to bow.
