Raise3D E2CF review
After 8 days, 7 hours, and 20 minutes of 3D printing in under two weeks, with different materials and IDEX modes, we gathered and wrapped up our notes to write this E2CF review. Our verdict?
We churned out some good, strong parts and were able to leave the 3D printer unattended for several days while it did all the work. Even while it printed Raise3D’s high-performance PPA GF at over 300°C.
Some of our prints needed a bit of post-processing, as is usually the case in AM, but we didn’t encounter any printing issues whatsoever. No spaghetti-ing, layer shifting, nozzle jams, overheating– the printer just worked, out of the box.
The IDEX function was also a pleasure to use (and watch!). We printed the majority of the objects twice as fast, allowing us to try the printer on a lot of different object types and sizes. In terms of user-friendliness, we have experienced more streamlined workflows, namely on the Pro3 Plus. That said, the snags we described were minor.
At the attractive starting price of $4,499, the E2CF is a great option if you or your company are looking for a cost-effective compromise between a desktop printer and a larger, industrial-grade 3D printer. As long as you treat it right (i.e., use perfectly dry filament with the right profiles), you’ll be dealing with a reliable workhorse that can quickly produce batches of strong, carbon-fiber-enforced parts.
Pros
- Cost-efficient
- Qualitative, repeatable parts
- Suitable for unsupervised low-volume production
Cons
- Tedious slicing and filament-loading workflows
- Profile installation issues
- Restricted to fiber-reinforced filaments only
Raise3D E2CF overview
The E2CF (Carbon Fiber) is a professional carbon fiber filament 3D printer produced by Raise3D. Raise3D is a 3D printer manufacturer based in the United States. The Raise3D E2CF uses extrusion 3D printing technology and is particularly suited to print carbon-fiber-enforced filaments.
E2CF: main features
- Carbon-fiber ready components: high-durability nozzles and high-hardness, heat-treated steel gears for better wear resistance
- IDEX (Independent dual extruders): the two extruders can operate independently of one another along the same axis during printing to perform more advanced functions
- Mirror mode: Prints a model and an inverse of that same model simultaneously
- Duplication mode: Can double production capability within the same timeframe
- Industrial PA12 CF filament: the E2CF pairs perfectly with this proprietary filament and its support material
- Easy Swap print heads: it’s very quick and easy to switch between different print heads
- Safety features: the E2CF boasts power loss recovery, door sensors, and more
