Atom 2.0 delta hotend. Looks very light and print sample was really impressive too. $1,700 for the kit… I asked if I can buy the hotend only they just laugh and say no… :confused:

Weird.

I would have bought it on the spot. Their print sample was seriously impressive

@Step_Cia ​​ I also saw their samples, at 50 micron the doll head sample was insanely smooth. I’m having a hard time believing that all other printers can’t get those results, based on samples at the show. Is the Atom 2.0 really that good? that was the first I heard of it. I know it’s from Taiwan maybe that’s why I haven’t heard of it.

I’m increasingly annoyed with the vertically integrated machines. There’s a lot out there with an interesting aspect or two that no one else can have unless they buy the whole machine. When it comes down to take or leave it, I’m happy just leaving it.

They sell the hotend on the site for $79 http://www.atom3dp.com/en/shop/

@Jeff_Dewe haha awesome, 80 might be worth a shot!

@Mike_DiMare If you get one, let us know how she goes :slight_smile:

than nozzle looks permanently fused to them hotend. why do such a thing? You’ll never be able to use different nozzle sizes it nozzle materials or exchange a nozzle worn out from abrasive filament types.

10

Ya it didn’t make sense to my why certain part especially the important bit is not sold separately on its own… perhaps they just wouldn’t like to see their hotend on some other machine…

Alumina ceramic disk heater?

Hi guys, please see the YouTube Atom3dp’s channel. The assembly instruction for the hot end explains a lot.

Might not be MKII but still a detailed look.

14

PTFE all the way into the nozzle. Hmmm. No high temp filaments in that one then.

15

@Step_Cia ​ Do you have any photos of their sample print?

16

Only offered in 0.4mm at that. I never changed nozzles much until this year, but now that I am, I don’t see going with a fixed nozzle. Or one that has PTFE touching the hot end - they are using PTFE to insulate the thermistor.

@Ryan_Branch ​ a couple of photos I took while being squeezed through the crowd… https://plus.google.com/+StephenCia/posts/QTXsusRqMMN

Did you say $1700 for a hot end or is there more.

$1700 for the entire printer in a kit form…
