Geeetech M1 small 3D printer will deliver top-quality results in less than 30 minutes, compared to the average of 1 hour for regular 3D printers. We are very excited to finally be sharing all the details, so keep reading below!

Geeetech M1

High-Speed & Premium Quality Print

For the Geeetech M1 we have focused on designing a fast and portable 3D printer that can deliver quality prints whether you are a beginner or seasoned pro. This is made possible due to the large-capacity nozzle that is combined with a direct drive extruder, a 50W hot-end heating rod, a heated bed and a large-size model cooling fan, resulting in a printing speed of up to 250mm/s.

We have also been designing the custom firmware for our small 3D printer, which comes with 2 advanced algorithms out of the box.
With the input shaping firmware, the M1 printer minimizes vibrations and ringing artifacts in the 3D prints, allowing you to print at much higher speeds without reducing the quality.

Using the pressure advance functionality, you will see the results in form of a more consistent extrusion, as our firmware prevents the blobs that typically form at corners or during acceleration of the print head. This gives you sharper corners and less stringing effects. This makes our M1 the best 3D printer for small prints at the moment!

Stable Structure

We have also been working on designing the overall structure for the Geeetech M1 3d printer, making designs to ensure that the entire machine remains firm and stable while printing at high speeds, in order to produce premium quality results, making it the best 3D printer for beginners looking to get started with ease. Some of the designs include:

  • Leather pulley reinforcement
  • Hotbed three bearings
  • Thickened filament bracket
  • Premium hardness plastic
Structure of Geeetech M1

Direct Drive Extruder

One of the main innovations on the Geeetech M1 is the dual-drive gear Direct Drive Extruder with a gear ratio of up to 5:1, which allows for fast 3D printing, and provides greater torque, greater extrusion force, faster response speed and a higher printing accuracy compared to BOWDEN extruders that are common on the market currently. Due to this innovation, it also becomes easier to print with soft TPU materials and flexible filament.

Geeetech M1 Direct Drive Extruder

Fully Automatic 16-point Leveling

Another reason why we believe this is a good beginner 3D printer for everyone getting started with printing, is that the Geeetech M1 integrates a high-precision pressure sensor on the hot end, that is designed to measure the flatness of the hot bed throughout the nozzle. This provides a fully automatic hotbed leveling, which in turn greatly reduces the difficulty for beginners in setting up and calibrating the machine.

Geeetech M1 Automatic 16-point Leveling

High Torque Stepper Motors ( 1.8°stepper motors )

For stepper motors,  the Geeetech M1 uses 42*42*35mm NEMA 17 motors on both the X, Y and Z-axis, which results in more power and precision. The direct drive extruder makes use of a 36*19.5mm Nema 14-round stepper motor, which effectively reduces the weight of the print head, while meeting the performance requirements we have set forth in our design documents.

Geeetech M1 High Torque Stepper Motors 

Efficient Heat Dissipation

One issue that fast 3D printing is known for is a buildup of heat. However, with our innovative design the Geeetech M1 has effectively solved the problem with overheating on printers of this size, due to the 50×50×15mm large-size blower that improves printing speed and model quality while keeping everything cooled down to the appropriate temperatures. We have even added a cooling fan to the motherboard for the stepper motor drive in order to further ensure proper heat dissipation and reliability during high-speed printing.

Geeetech M1 blowers

Filament Runout Sensor

Continuing with the theme of being beginner friendly, the Geeetech M1 has an advanced detection sensor for filament breaks and running out. This way the printer will stop if the 3D printer filament breaks or runs out at any point during the printing process. You can also resume the printing once you have fixed the filament break or resupply filament, allowing you to keep your print without having to start all over.
And the filament runout sensor with tension release function which aims to avoid filament breaks due to friction.

Automatic Nozzle Cleaner

Based on feedback and results from our previous 3D printers, we have designed the Geeetech M1 with an automatic cleaning nozzle device, that handles nozzle maintenance which is one of the most common issues. This way you do not have to manually clean after every print.
And more, the silicone brush that can withstand temperatures up to 300°C for a short time, and

the brush has a good performance of removing residue and exudate from the nozzle and has little wear. I guess the most important point that customers want to know is whether the automatic nozzle cleaner will interfere with the movement of the print head. The answer is NO. The automatic nozzle cleaner will not affect the work of the print head.

More User-Friendly Designs

We have also designed the Geeetech M1 to be a great 3D printer for kids, as the user-friendly interface includes a 2.4″ LCD color screen with ample space for displaying all the necessary information. The PEI print plate makes it easy to remove the model after printing, and the added 3 high-brightness LED lights provide plenty of light to make it easy to work on the machine or the print at any time of day.

The Printout of Geeetech M1

Below you can see a few examples of the prints made with our Geeetech M1, which also uses Geeetech 3D printer filament. The first two images show the soft prints made with TPU filament, which is a flexible material that still provides high fidelity and accurate details, while also being incredibly malleable.

The final image shows a few objects made with PLA filament, which is one of the most common types of filament used in the market. The prints have lovely smooth surfaces without any rough parts, and since the material itself has a low cost, it is the perfect filament to combine with the M1 for some of the best budget 3D printer results available on the market at the moment.

Formnext 2024: Some Stunning 3D Printing Technologies https://blog.geeetech.com/news/formnext-2024-some-stunning-3d-printing-technologies/ Wed, 18 Dec 2024 03:24:21 +0000 https://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=12415 We love exploring the latest 3D printing technologies as such, Geeetech visited Formnext 2024 to stay up to date and learn more about the innovative solutions and methods leading to some of the top 3D printers being launched, insight into 3D printing in general, as well as more specific details related to 3d printer settings, filament and more.

Formnext 2024

What Is Formnext?

Formnext 2024 was held in Frankfurt, Germany, and offered us unique insights into the world of 3D printing. More than 30.000 guests and visitors perused many different stalls and booths displaying their products or techniques, allowing for discussion and learning during the 3-day long expo for all things 3D printing related.

This year we saw that they were focusing on stability and expanding previously established patterns and 3D printing service solutions to increase the efficiency and improve the output quality as much as possible. But of course, there were also many new items and products on display as well such as FDM printers and more.

Some Upgrades of Desktop 3D Printers

We also saw some interesting upgrades in the desktop 3D printer scene, where a couple of manufacturers really stood out to us with their latest innovative inventions.

Bigger and Faster Multicolor 3D Printers

In the space of multicolor printing, we saw an advanced desktop printer using the CoreXY systems, which can achieve great speeds, while also providing up to four different types of filament all joined in the same central hub. For now, the size would still be classified as a desktop printer, which is good news in terms of price once it has finished the development stage.

Active Chamber Temperature Control

We also saw somewhat of a surprise in the form of an enclosed CoreXY printer that comes with active chamber control as the big selling point. While the model was not fully ready for production yet, it allowed for quite a large overall print size of up to 250 x 220 x 270 mm. And the quality of the prints we saw looked really promising so we are eagerly awaiting more news of the actual market launch.

Geeetech Mizar M

If you are looking for the best 3D printer for beginners to get started right away, you might be interested in our very own Geeetech Mizar M model. This is one of the best hobby 3D printer solutions out there right now, offering cheap 3D printing and excellent quality prints.

As a low-cost desktop printer, Mizar M’s features are competitive with comparable printers in the market. Now, let’s see what the features of Mizar M are:

  • Dual extruder: It comes with a dual extruder print head for multicolor prints and has a dual Z-axis setup that makes your prints look amazing and smooth.
  • Large printer volume: Compared to other 3D printers on the market at the same price, the overall print dimensions are also quite favorable. The Mizar M allows you to print designs up to 255 x 255 x 260 mm, among the best dimensions for a standard desktop printer.
  • Silent printing: Mizar M has a 32-bit silenced motherboard which results in a quiet printing environment that will not wake up your neighbors or annoy you while working on other projects in your home.
  • High print accuracy: Mizar M has a +/- 0.1mm accuracy, resulting in very precise models that closely resemble your 3D model. And its layers’ thickness is between 0.1 and 0.2 millimeters, resulting in a very fine surface once the complete print has been produced.
  • Compatible with multiple materials filament: Geeetech printer Mizar M supports PLA, ABS and PETG to name a few, making it a versatile option that can produce both outdoor and indoor prints.

Sustainability of 3D Printing Materials

Another key part of the Formnext 2024 exhibition was highlighting the sustainability compared to alternative methods for printing. Here we saw different 3D printing materials made of different types of sustainable 3D printer filament that makes the printing process extremely eco-friendly.

We also witnessed an interesting invention that used a new type of extrusion system designed to work with recycled filament to cut down on the overall waste of the 3D printer process.

This design has made it possible to reuse old prints and discarded strings of filament, by processing the filament and material that would otherwise be wasted and producing very fine results. We are excited to see how this technology will develop in the future, and whether it will be something every 3D printer will come equipped with once the principles and practical application have been perfected.

Large-Format Printers

One interesting machine showcased was a large 3D printer with a 6-axis robotic arm of 2.8 meters, but not only that, the raised platform bed has another 2-axis, making it possible to create some truly stunning and smooth 3D prints with ease. And the dimensions of the printer allow for a scale that most hobby printers can only dream of.

Large-format printer is printing

Another big 3D printer we saw up close was one that takes vat photopolymerization and stereolithography to a new level. Typically these types of printers are reserved for smaller prints, but this model provided us with an example that has 3 lasers in an overlapping arrangement making it possible to 3D print somewhat narrow but very long pieces with precision and speed.

There were quite a few other large-format printers on display of equal interest, leading us to conclude many of the manufacturing companies of these 3D printers are aiming to obtain market shares for large-scale production with a focus on speed, automation and efficient production yields.

3D-Printing Human Tissue Models

We also witnessed a somewhat unexpected type of 3D printing material that gave us a unique experience in the form of a medical type of printing material called a bioink, that can 3D print human tissue models.

3D print human tissue

We already knew of this invention due to previous innovations regarding stem cell printing, and now the technology has advanced further with additive manufacturing that can produce hundreds of tissues in a single day. There have already been successful results with printing brain and spinal cord tissues, and even skin, leading us excited for where this technology can end up in the near future combined with advanced 3D models.

The start up Redefine Meat,founded in 2018,called on people to practice vegetarianism concept by 3D printing the steak instead of slaughtering animals for food.The company claims its steaks look,taste and feel just like real steaks,don’t require any real cattle to be involved in the production process,and are sourced entirely from natural,sustainable ingredients.What’s more,all the cooking methods,whether roast,slow cooking or grilling,can be applied to their artificial meat,which tastes even better than real meat.The good news is that it will be in high-end restaurants in Israel,Germany and Switzerland by the end of this year.

Redefine Meat uses:”proprietary 3D meat modelling,food formulations and food printing technology to deliver a new category of complex-matrix’meat’in a cost effective and scalable way”.The steak itself is made from a mix of soy and pea proteins,coconut fat and sunflower oil,plus natural flavors and colors everyone will love.

CEO Eshchar Ben-Shitrit specializes in manufacturing industrial-level 3D printers that will eventually be sold to meat distributors worldwide and become part of the meat supply chain.the CEO calls it”the best way to fight climate change,to deliver healthier solutions and food to the entire population of the planet.”It’s been reported that the coronavirus came from a sick bat,but it wouldn’t happen with the 3D printing meat,which is much cleaner.

The market for artificial meat has been very competitive in recent years,but Redefine Meat is focusing on expanding production by combining 3D printing technology with artificial meat production.

Are you bullish on this company?Will you try the 3D-printed vegan steak?Leave a comment below to tell me what you think.

Why My Grandma Loves My Geeetech 3D Printer https://blog.geeetech.com/3d-printer/why-my-grandma-loves-my-geeetech-3d-printer/ Wed, 14 Oct 2020 06:52:19 +0000 http://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=10483 This is a story from our fans. The story starts from… I bought a Geeetech 3D printer the other day, downloaded free open-source designs for adaptive aids, and printed out some plastic gadgets. I want to give my grandma a little surprise when she comes to visit me.

Geeetech A10 3D printer

My grandmother is suffering from arthritis which makes it painful for the joints to move. Owing to this physical ailment, her daily life is very inconvenient. As an example, she found routine tasks like opening jars and even holding a toothbrush to be troublesome and painful. I hope to improve her quality of life through these plastic gadgets.

When Grandma first saw these gadgets, she felt elated and told me this was one of the best gifts for her. It is known to all that adaptive aids in the shop are vastly more expensive than the standard gadgets and that is why she got so excited. Finally, I decided to show her how the gadgets were printed by the Geeetech 3D printer. However, she complained that the printer cost too much. So I made a careful calculation with a typical adaptive aid costs about $25, and we use a 3D printer to print gadgets for $1 each. We save money by printing more, and there are a lot of possibilities. She wholeheartedly endorse my remarks.

Here are some of the gadgets I gave her:

Easy to hold the toothbrush. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND
Easy to remove the gas cap. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND
Easy to open locks, even with very small keys. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND
Easy to Cut the vegetables. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND
Easy to use scissors. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND
I printed a 3D printed pen holder for her as she used to keep a diary. J.M. Pearce, CC BY-ND

I’m pretty sure there will be more 3D printing applications in the future. Why not get one for a try? If you want to know how much is a 3d printer, then welcome to visit our website. You can also select the best 3d printer filament for your new designs from Geeetech!

Unbelievable Germany’s First 3D-printed Luxury Building https://blog.geeetech.com/news/unbelievable-germanys-first-3d-printed-luxury-building/ Mon, 12 Oct 2020 05:26:07 +0000 http://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=10478 For Chinese people used to living in houses made of cement, living in a 3D-printed house must feel quite exciting.In Chinese society, men propose to ladys generally with the prerequisite of having a car and a house.Imagine if, years from now, the house women want most is a 3D-printed one.Well,maybe that’s overstating it a little.But do you know what a 3D-printed house looks like?Germany’s first 3D-printed luxury building has been created, so check it out!

PERI GmbH built Germany’s first 3D-printed residential building in Bekum,Beckum, North Rhine-Westphalia. The house consists of two-storey detached house, each with about 80 square metres of living space, and was built using a 3D building printer.

3D building printing has fundamentally changed the way we build and the process of residential construction.Leonhard Braig,director of production and supply chain at PERI GmbH, said: “Because this is the first building of its kind, the printing speed we proposed was slower than the actual speed.”adding that they hope to take this opportunity to gain more experience in their day-to-day operations, as this will help them make greater use of the technology to make the cost come down in their next project.

The first 3D printed building in Germany was designed by MENSE-KORTE ingenieure + architekten fora design firm named Hous3Druck GmbH.To build it, PERI used 3D printers of type BOD2 for printing., which can be moved from anywhere in the building along its metallic frame and only needs to be calibrated once.

“With conventional construction methods, this would only be possible at great financial cost.” said Waldemar Korte, partner at Mense-Korte. He thought the printing process allows designers more freedom in residential construction.

The building consists of triple-skin cavity walls filled with an insulating compound. During the printing process, the printer takes into account all the pipes and connections to be laid later,such as water pipes,wire way,etc.

BOD2 allows workers to perform work within the print area during printing.This means manual work, such as installing empty pipes and connections, can be easily integrated into the printing process.

3D Printer Filament Storage – How Is It Done Properly? https://blog.geeetech.com/3d-printing-application/3d-printer-filament-storage-how-is-it-done-properly/ Thu, 24 Sep 2020 08:26:40 +0000 http://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=10446 If you have moisture and mold in your home, you’re more likely to have respiratory problems, allergies, and weak immune system. When you know the cause of the moisture, you can take steps to limit the moisture in the air.

Likewise, humidity is a natural enemy of filaments. Some materials have no humidity problem. Others, such as PVA or nylon, are very hygroscopic and absorb water after a very short time. The wet filament sizzles and is easy to recognize during printing, and the results are terrible. Therefore, it is particularly important to store filament spools carefully and correctly.

Why Water Damages Thermoplastics

All plastics are polymers or copolymers. you’ll see that the long molecular strands that make up them are woven together when you look at polymers or copolymers under a high-intensity microscope,That means there’s plenty of space between and around the strands.Thererfore, most polymers and copolymers are hygroscopic.Some filament materials, such as Nylon, are very sensitive to water .If  they absorb only a little water, they can cause problems when printing.

How To Keep Your 3D Printer Filament Dry

Storing your filament in an airtight container with a desiccant is the easiest way to settle this issue.Filament dry boxes work well, but they can be bulky.

when it comes to airtight,most people think of plastic containers and bags.For the most part, these are good short-term solutions.

Nevertheless, over time, plastic containers and bags become slightly permeable.This means that the longer your printing materials stay in plastic bags, the more water they absorb, .especially when you live in a humid climate. .If you use a clear bag or box, UV light will also reduce the strength of the filament over time.

Using high-quality Mylar bags or bags made of similar materials is a better solution is to store your thermoplastic.Obviously, there is a layer of metal between two layers of plastic.This metal layer protects your printing material from any water vapor that permeates the plastic.So that your printing material produces a satisfactory result.

How You Know Your Printing Material Has Absorbed Water

Before printing, there are two simple ways to determine if your material is absorbing water.First, you can measure the diameter of the material itself.when a polymer absorbs water, it begins to grow in size.If the diameter of the filament increases by 10 percent or more, it most likely absorbs water.

Another way to determine whether a filament absorbs water is to extrude a small amount of filament before printing.We’ve all probably been there: sitting by a fire, listening to its crackle.This is because the water in the wood is changed into steam when heated.The same phenomenon occurs when you extrude thermoplastic that has absorbed water.The heat from the print end causes the water in the plastic to expand and escape.You can hear hissing or popping and also see bubbles.

How to Dry Out Filament

If your filament is wet, you must dry it out before using it to print.Why not use an oven?

In the first place, check out the glass transition temperature for the filament that you are going to dry.You need to be sure that you keep your oven temperature below the transition temperature. In a general way , about 60-70C is just about right for most materials, except may be a bit hot for lower temp materials like PLA. Always keep in mind how hot your oven runs and only use electric ovens.

You should also be aware, even if the Glass Transition temp is very high, for a material like Nylon or Polycarbonate – the spool your filament is wound on is likely made from an ABS which will soften at lower temperatures than the filament. 

How to dry PLA filament

You ought to be more careful when you dry PLA filament on account that 70C will be too hot. We recommend at the very lowest temp your oven will go around 40C. Even at this temp your PLA will soften, so drying PLA in the oven won’t always give you the results you’re after. It’s a small reminder as to the importance of keeping excellent PLA storage. 

Once the oven it up to temperature, place the spooled material inside and leave it there for four to six hours. If you have a convection oven, this drying time may be shortened since the circulated air removes more moisture from the material more quickly.You can also ‘recharge’ the desiccant this way too, placing it in the oven over a low heat. 

Once the time is up, remove the material from the oven, allow it to cool and place it into a water impermeable container or bag along with desiccants. Make sure that the container or bag is completely sealed.

Any material that you have oven-dried is slightly more brittle than normal.Remember,Handle the material with care.Only then can you achieve the superior results with your properly dry print material.
