CraftBot Plus 3D Printer

Flatness

Print beds need to be flat throughout printing to avoid running into errors. Glass has a high modulus of elasticity and is thermally stable. Therefore, it remains flat and will ensure the bed’s levelling remains consistent throughout.

Smooth Finish

Most of the users want the bottom of their prints to be as soft as possible; glass guarantees such a finish, giving a mirror-like, glossy base that cannot be achieved by most bed surfaces.

Thermal Conductivity

There are instances where the build platform needs to be heated to prevent warping and to improve print quality. Thermal conductivity means you have a thermally stable platform that will not be affected by sudden rises or drops in temperature.

Durability

Tempered glass will not easily shatter or crack when exposed to high strains because it is manufactured to be more tolerant.

Scratch Resistance

Beds like acrylic can easily get scratched and become a nuisance when printing. However, tempered glass tends to be scratch resistant and is not susceptible to abrasion or chemical damage.

Less Filament Jam

Fewer parts and connection points make jams less likely and much easier to clear.

Better Printing Quality

Thanks to the inclusion of an all metal hotend, CraftBot is able to print in exceptional quality. This makes it perfect to also print in more specialist materials, like wood and brass filaments.

Improved Cooling System

All-metal Hotends have active cooling in order to isolate the melt zone. A smaller, more controlled melt zone provides cleaner retractions and less oozing for better print quality.

Filament Monitoring System (Add-On)

The filament monitoring system (FMS) supervises filament consumption, starts immediate troubleshooting when a filament jam is detected and messages the user in case there’s a need for intervention.
