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.

ABS-Like Resin in 3D Printing https://blog.geeetech.com/news/new-arrival/abs-like-resin-in-3d-printing/ Sat, 20 Jan 2024 09:39:19 +0000 https://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=11364 3D Printer resin is a key material used in a specific type of 3D printing technology called stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP). The main technology in them is to cure and form liquid resin into hard models under ultraviolet (UV) light exposure.

3D printing technology first originated in the 1970s, when it was mainly used to create prototypes. In 1983, Chuck Hull from the USA invented stereolithography (SLA) and in 1986 he co-founded the world’s first 3D printing company which was a great process for 3d printing development. Nowadays it is frequently to use resin in 3d printing. Here is the timeline related to resin 3d printing:

What is ABS-Like Resin?

ABS-Like Resin is a photopolymer resin that is widely used for DLP or LCD 3D printers. ABS-Like resin contains high-quality pigments and photoinitiators which empower 3d prints with bright and stunning colors. As its similarity to ABS, it performs well in printing functional or mechanical accessories. It’s a nice choice for printing regular 3d models with smooth and exquisite appearances.

Main features of Geeetech ABS-Like Resin:

  • Compatibility: Our ABS-like resin works seamlessly with various LCD and DLP printers. It is designed for broad market applicability, ensuring it pairs well with LCD and DLP technology printers.
  • Fast Curing & High Efficiency: It boasts a rapid curing time, which significantly boosts the success rate and overall printing efficiency. For optimal results, it is recommended to set the exposure time within the resin printer to either 1.7s or 2s. Moreover, it’s safe, non-toxic, and emits minimal odor.
  • Precision & Quality: It exhibits excellent fluidity and high precision with minimal shrinkage, leading to clear and detailed prints. This makes it ideal for both novices and seasoned 3D printing aficionados.
  • Secure Packaging: It comes in safely and thoughtfully designed packaging, featuring a leak-proof design to prevent spills during transport. 

What are the differences between standard resin and abs-like resin in 3d printing material?

Standard resin and ABS-like resin are two different types of materials used by 3D resin printers each with its own set of properties and characteristics. Here are the key differences between standard resin and ABS-like resin:

Material Composition

  • Standard Resin: typically, standard resin is a photopolymer resin that cures when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light during the 3D printing process. It is well known for its smooth surface finish and high level of detail.
  • ABS-Like Resin: ABS-like resin is formulated to mimic the properties of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), a commonly used thermoplastic in traditional manufacturing. ABS-like resin is used for functional prototypes and end-use parts quite a lot.

Flexibility

  • Standard Resin: standard resin is generally less flexible and more rigid. It might not perform well during the 3d printing process which requires a certain level of flexibility or elasticity.
  • ABS-Like Resin: ABS-like resin can exhibit better flexibility and is more resilient to bending and deformation. This makes it a preferred choice for functional prototypes that would bring challenges to some degree of mechanical stress.

Post-Processing

  • Standard Resin: standard resin usually requires less post-processing compared to ABS-like resin. It may not need extra procedures like vapor smoothing or extensive sanding.
  • ABS-Like Resin: ABS-like resin might benefit from post-processing techniques such as vapor smoothing to improve the surface finish and appearance. This is especially relevant for parts that require a more polished look.

When choosing between standard resin and ABS-like resin, it’s essential to consider the specific requirements of your 3D printing project, including mechanical properties, flexibility, and intended applications. Each type of resin has its advantages, and the selection should be based on the desired characteristics of the final printed object.

3D printed Bio-ink Human Cornea https://blog.geeetech.com/special-offers/3d-printing-is-evolving-in-the-field-of-medicine-3d-printed-bio-ink-human-cornea/ Fri, 20 Sep 2019 03:55:35 +0000 http://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=9440 3D printing is evolving in the field of Medicine-Bioprinting Human Cornea

First 3D bioprinting of a corneal stroma equivalent
Dr. Swioklo on left and Dr. Che Connon on right, Newcastle University developed the first 3D printed human cornea.

  • In November 2018 the First 3D printed Human Corneal Tissue at Newcastle University, printed inclusive of human corneal stromal cells with a 3D bio-ink human cornea that could last more than a week.
  • The research took place over the past few decades, Dr. Che Connon tissue engineering professor from Newcastle University, Tyne, U.K. has been working with human corneal cells.
  • The 3D printed bio-ink human cornea that has encapsulated corneal keratocytes advertised high growth at day 1 (>90%) post-printing and at 7 (83%) and it was a combined mixture of sodium alginate and methacrylate collagen.
  • This year the U.S Researchers, Florida A & M University a team of researchers led by Mandip Sachdeva Pharmaceutics professor developed a 3D printed cornea similar to a real cornea following the research work of Dr. Che Connon.
  • The team developed a highly efficient printer that could print six corneas within 10 minutes in 2018. The researchers could produce 1 cornea.

What is the importance of the cornea?

Human Cornea
Cornea’s- transmission and refraction provide clear visibility.

Human cornea is the most important part of the eye which is very transparent in nature and forms the outer most layer front part that encloses iris, pupil and anterior chamber. Cornea serves as the protective layer of the eye, pony up the focusing power of the human eye. Cornea is responsible for the transmission and refraction of the light. That is, in turn, focused on the retina with the help of the anterior chamber and lens. So cornea is most important for humans to see accurately because approximately 80% of the refraction of the human eye is done by it.  Therefore, 3D bio-ink human cornea might help us.

When do we require cornea transplantation?

Multiple reasons why you many require corneal transplantation. It’s most probably due to infections and inflammations people don’t care about it. And, later that may cause a great blunder called corneal scarring. Due which people are unable to see properly and accurately. Some of the infections and corneal disorders due to which people need to undergo corneal transplants.

3d printed human corneas created at newcastle university
Prevent your eye’s from corneal transplants.

  • Corneal abrasion: It is a condition in which there is a scratch on the surface layer of the cornea involving loss of the epithelial layer of the eye which led to trauma of the surface of the eye. Pain, redness, light sensitivity, and feels as if there is a foreign creature within the eye. These are the most common symptoms.
  • Corneal dystrophy: a medical condition that is hereditary in nature, which affects one or more parts of the cornea lose their normal vision or clarity due to a layered buildup of cloudy material.
  • Corneal ulcer: refers to infectious cause, an inflammatory or infective condition that involves disruption of its epithelial layer with an involvement of the corneal stroma. Mainly caused to people with vitamin A deficiency. Due to nerve exposure corneal ulcers are painful and cause tearing, scrunch up eyes when viewing, and loss of the eye vision. Many other signs that cause ulcers such as miosis, aqueous flare, uveitis, axon reflex, prostaglandins, histamine, acetylcholine, and photophobia.
  • Corneal neovascularization(CNV): occurs due to excessive growth of blood vessels from the precorneal plexus into the avascular cornea, caused by deprivation of oxygen from the air. Sight-threatening conditions caused due to infection, chemical injury, autoimmune, chemical burns and wearing contact lenses for a long period.

Corneal infections and inflammations (as per explanation) src: Wikipedia

  • Fuchs dystrophy( FCED or FED): Ernst Fuchs the Austrian ophthalmologist first invented this condition that is also called cloudy morning vision. Later, which affects both eyes and most commonly found in women than in men. It is a slowly progressing corneal dystrophy.
  • Keratitis: Inflammation of the cornea, in which the front surface of the eye is inflamed that causes pain, impaired eyesight, photophobia, red-eye, and a dusty sensation.
  • Keratoconus: Affects both the eyes, it is a degenerative disease that results in progressive thinning of the cornea. Results in blurry vision, double vision, nearsightedness, astigmatism, and light sensitivity.

Impact of 3D printed Bio-ink Human Cornea

Scientists have 3d printed a human cornea which gave new life to millions.(happiness)
Scientists have 3d printed a human cornea which gave new life to millions.

In 2012-13 the survey done by the World Health Organization resulted in 12.7 million people need to be corneal transplantation. Therefore, 1 in 70 of the needs are covered worldwide. The transplantation helped to prevent corneal blindness. 4.9 million suffering from total blindness due to corneal scarring. The rate of cornea donation is less compared to the people required to transplant the cornea which led to the invention of 3D printing bio-ink human cornea which gave life to billions of people through transplantation. Artificial cornea may help millions of people to see this mesmerizing nature created by god. Through corneal transplantation, people can fulfill their dreams and can make history. Human eyes play a very vital role in each and every human being, 3D printing technology is helping to develop similar human cornea that can give new life to the people who are suffering from this.

Top 3D Printing News of the Week – Gucci, Star Trek and Prothetic Arms https://blog.geeetech.com/news/new-arrival/top-3d-printing-news-of-the-week-gucci-star-trek-and-prothesis-arm/ Sat, 24 Feb 2018 14:30:19 +0000 http://www.geeetech.com/blog/?p=8971 Gucci’s hot 3D Printed Fashion Accessories: 3D Printed Heads

At the brand’s Fall-Winter 2018 show in Milan. Gucci designer Alessandro Michele sent models down the runway carrying duplicates of their own headless domes. Gucci may well be the hottest brand in the world. That suggests that its favorite maximalist trends. All-over prints, endless logos, animal pictures, embroidery—trickle all the way down to the remainder of the style world.

Fashion lovers were shocked at Gucci’s freaky catwalk show that saw models strut their stuff carrying fake heads. Whereas the fashion things were spectacular, two of Gucci’s models stole the show by taking to the runway carrying 3D printed replicas of their own heads.

Unsurprisingly, the 3D printed heads have caused quite a stir on social media and have even been the inspiration for a number of funny memes.

Now lets Star Trek Online captains 3D print their starships:

March will be a great month for spaceship captains within the Star Trek online universe. Partnering with cloud 3D printing business Mixed Dimensions, Star Trek online will, come March, enable gamers to 3D print their own personal starships from the sport as 12-inch organic resin models. The new in-game feature will direct gamers to Mixed Dimension’s GamePrint internet site, which will offer different purchase choices.

Nearly all the five hundred playable starships will be created 3D printable, whereas personal customizations like ship names, colors, and defend skins will all be incorporated into the print. On the cheaper finish, gamers can elect a single-color or pre-primed model, however, people who need their ship rendered within the most magnificent detail will select a luxury hand-painted possibility.

3D printed Custom Prosthetic Arm:

In the UK, a father has 3D printed a custom prosthesis arm for his 10-year-old son, who was born without a left hand, while across the pond in Missouri, a teenager has 3D printed a custom prosthetic arm for his veteran amputee father. Teenager Robbie Freis used his 3D printing skills to fabricate a new arm for his father, a veteran who was injured in a 2003 RPG attack in Iraq. It was a touching attempt, though Freis did have one ulterior motive for his project: getting his dad back on the video games!

It’s a beautiful picture of 3D printing in 2018.

 

3D printing does great things in a lot of areas, but one of the most directly beneficial uses for the technology is prosthetics. All around the world, there are many organizations who are dramatically cutting the cost of prosthetic limbs for those in need, while individual makers are also designing and 3D printing their own prostheses using homemade designs or models sourced from the internet.
