| Formlabs | Fuse 1 | 165 x 165 | 295 |
The Formlabs Fuse 1 differs from our other 3D printers because it prints in 3D space by selectively sintering nylon powder. Because of this, the entire build volume can be used instead of just what will fit onto the build plate.
The corners of the build chamber are filleted, and sometimes the slicing software complains about parts being placed too close to the edges. Because of this, the maximum individual part size is approximately 155 x 155 mm in the X and & axes.
Formlabs states the build volume has a height of 300 mm. This doesn’t allow for a 300 mm part to be printed though, so the effective print volume is only 295 mm. Try to avoid printing parts which are this tall as it wastes an astonishing amount of excess material.
