Capabilities

  • Dual extruder
  • Enclosed print area and high-heat capability hot-end and bed makes this printer a good choice for ABS, ASA and Nylon
  • Relatively slow speed
  • This printer has an internal HEPA filter, so it might not need to be attached to the ventilation system. To be evaluated as of 12-17-25

It should be able to print the more garden variety 'engineering' filaments, such as glass fiber stabilized nylon. To be evaluated as of 12-17-25

Dual Head Printing

There are two modes of dual-head printing: standard multi-head/multi-material printing and IDEx mode (Independent Dual Extrusion)

There is printer-specific GCODE to enable either IDEX Mirror and IDEX Duplicate. When operating in IDEX mode, you must use the same materials, nozzle size etc; specifying different temperature for each extruder settings will be ignored.

We should be able to:

  • print two identical/duplicate parts at once
  • print two mirror image parts at once
  • print in multiple colors/materials

Slicer Software How-to

  • The IdeaMaker software is installed on the PC nearest the 3d printers. It is the first-party supported software, but currently EMS supports/trains on PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer.
  • All functionality except remote management can be done with SuperSlicer installed on the same machine.
    • PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer profiles come from this page.
  • Import your models and slice them with the EMS+[MATERIAL] slicing profiles (EMS+PLA, EMS+ABS, EMS+NYLON)
    • These are kept up to date and exported on occasion to a backup on EMS File Share
    • Make a copy before making any changes!
    • This printer currently prints PLA at 60mm/s :-(
  • You can either "Upload to Printer" for local LAN print via IdeaMaker, or "Export to Local Disk" and save it to a USB stick in IdeaMaker or SuperSlicer.
    • Do not walk away with the attached USB stick!
    • Do not assume your GCode files will be preserved! Backup up your models and GCode if that is important to you.
  • Starting the print is done on the little touch screen attached to the printer
    • Select "Print" on the bottom bar
    • Select "Upload Queue" if you uploaded it, select "USB Storage" if you uploaded it to USB

Changing Filament

  • See 1.3.2 (Page 8) of File:RaiseTouch E2 User Manual.pdf
    • It preheats, you hit a button to start it backing out the material. When it backs it out past the extruder gear, carefully pull it out and rewind the material; place the material you're unloading in a storage bin or at the very least a ziplock bag with some dehydrator packets
    • Loading is the reverse; the machine will preheat, and then ask you to feed the filament through the tube to the extruder head and click "Okay" to get it to extrude until it starts to come out the hot-end.

Tips and Tricks

  • Make sure the build plate is fully inserted and flush with the little lips on the front and back of the heated bed; it should be slid all the way back before the magnets pull it down otherwise it may sit above a lip and the extruder head may crash on the side of the build plate after the leveling is completed.
  • If you click "Connect" in IdeaMaker, you can operate the touch screen controls from the desktop running IdeaMaker and monitor the webcam
