Benchmarks?

Workshopshed

I've been lucky enough to be picked for Roadtesting a 3D printer and one of the points the manufacture makes is that it's dual head (one large, one fine) makes for fast printing.

 

I'm happy to check this claim but need something to compair against. Are there any benchmark prints for testing performance of different printers?

  • Andy,

    I don't know of any benchmarks for speed of other printers.  CEL promotes faster speeds because they use the dual extruder with a smaller nozzle for the shell and larger for the infill.  What you could do to prove this systems is faster is print an object only using the smaller nozzle then print that same object with both.  Now if the object printed with the dual nozzle is faster than you can say they are somewhat true in their marketing.  This is not the best way to do it as for example I could speed up a printer and get faster print times but poor quality prints.  So that's something that needs to be taken into account.  Just my thoughts.
