Flsun Launches Its Print Farm-Focused T1 Max Delta 3D Printer

Flsun’s latest entry in this quickly-iterated series pays particular attention to print farm operators, dangling the prospect of machine group management via the Orca Slicer-based Flsun Slicer 2.0 software, and simpler maintenance through a design that breaks down simply for what Flsun says enables “quicker repairs, and a faster return to production”.

Insofar as living up to the name, the T1 Max tops the series’ build areas at 300⌀ x 297 mm. For reference, the T1 Pro has 260⌀ x 330 mm. Build volume, however, is a trickier topic, as the T1 Max’s maximum build height is uniformly 33 mm lower than the T1 Pro, topping out at a 251 mm cylinder height. (Delta 3D printers have odd build volume dimensions–imagine a cone on top of a cylinder, but you can only print as high as the height of the cylinder.)

Stated specs include 300°C hot end with 52 mm³/s “stable” flow rate through its hardened steel nozzle, plus a 100°C heated bed with textured PEI-coated build plate. As with the other T1-series machines, potential print speeds run to 1,000 mm/s with 30,000 mm/s acceleration. The obligatory disclaimer: these aren’t typical speeds, just indicative of what it could do with the right material, print, and configuration.

Print cooling comes by way of an “upgraded” CPAP blower, which sits on the frame of the printer and gusts a large volume of air through a pipe to the printhead. It’s a cooling solution we see more and more on performance and high-speed machines. Intriguingly, Flsun pairs the blower with a soundproofing housing, “creating a more refined and focused working environment,” the company says.
