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
