Flashforge, the globally leading brand in the 3D printer industry, held a summer new product launch conference on June 8, 2023. The conference, themed “Speed matters. Quality matters,” unveiled three new 3D printer products and two sets of 3D printer upgrade kits. These products aim to deliver a high-speed and stable 3D printing experience to Flashforge customers worldwide, marking the era of comprehensively high-speed 3D printing for Flashforge FDM 3D printers.

New 3D Printer: Guider 3 Ultra

The Guider 3 Ultra 3D printer is a blend of cutting-edge ultra-fast algorithms and lightweight, sturdy hardware. Equipped with integrated dual extruders, this printer promises consistently high-speed and stable 3D printing performance. Its impressive printing speed of 500mm/s and acceleration of 20,000mm/s² make Guider 3 Ultra a truly high-speed 3D printing product. This device provides an efficient 3D printing solution for enterprises, studios, universities, and factories seeking quick and versatile manufacturing.

The Guider 3 Ultra features a powerful computing system that employs a vibration suppression algorithm during high-speed 3D printing, ensuring stable 3D printing by compensating for movement vibrations. It has a stable CoreXY structure and features lighter extruder and gantry designs, ensuring consistent stability even at high printing speeds.

With a printing speed 2-5 times faster, Guider 3 Ultra is capable of printing 2000g of filament daily (with a 0.6/0.8mm nozzle), significantly boosting productivity by up to 400%. Its integrated dual extruders cater to the demand for high-speed printing of complex models. Moreover, it supports the use of easy-to-remove support materials for intricate models with overhangs and bridging structures.

To ensure an impeccable 3D printout surface under such consistently stable printing conditions, Guider 3 Ultra includes a robust dual-fan air cooling system. This system swiftly cools each filament layer, ensuring a refined and superior surface quality. The dual extruders, guided by pressure compensation algorithms, offer meticulous control over filament flow, resulting in a seamlessly smooth 3D printing process.

The latest upgraded FlashPrint slicing software incorporates path planning intelligent algorithms tailored to different models, optimizing the entire 3D printing workflow. Meanwhile, Flashforge continues to research and develop 3D printing materials with enhanced physical and chemical properties, aiming to elevate printout quality from a material standpoint.

Guider 3 Ultra stands out with its one-click printing feature, which enhances efficiency and ease of use. It has undergone a significant upgrade in bed leveling and nozzle replacement, enabling one-click automated bed leveling and tool-free nozzle replacement in just three seconds, thus minimizing the impact on the 3D printing process. The Guider 3 Ultra maintains a large printing space, with maximum printable model sizes of 330 x 330 x 600mm (for single extruder printing mode) and 300 x 330 x 600mm (for dual extruders mode). Its manufacturing cost per space unit is lower than other 3D printer products on the market, making Guider 3 Ultra an excellent choice for significantly reducing your overall cost.

Two Additional New 3D Printers: Adventurer 4 Pro & Adventurer 3 Pro 2

Flashforge has also released the Adventurer 4 Pro and Adventurer 3 Pro 2, both of which deliver an improved 3D printing experience while maintaining stability and ease of use. These printers boast several enhancements in terms of printing speed, printout quality, and usage convenience:

Increased Printing Speed: Both printers support an acceleration of 10,000 mm/s² and a maximum print speed of 300 mm/s, reducing printing time by 40-60% when compared to other regular 3D printers.

Improved Print Head for Smoother Printout Surface: The new extruder assembly and nozzle parts ensure better surface quality of the printed models. Both the Adventurer 4 Pro and Adventurer 3 Pro 2 feature three cooling fans and two air vents in the print head. The dual-sided cooling airway allows for faster cooling of the printed models.

Upgraded Nozzle Options: The high-speed nozzle ensures fast 3D printing without compromising print quality, while the hardened steel nozzle improves durability, making it wear-resistant for long-duration 3D printing of carbon fiber materials.

Effective Solutions to First Layer Issues: Both printers come with automatic bed leveling, addressing previous problems of manual leveling. The new bed leveling system uses nozzle sensors and multiple point automatic detection. Through magnetic induction measurement, it intelligently compensates for the relative height difference between the nozzle and the platform, ensuring a smooth and flawless first layer.

The print bed is coated with PEI, providing strong adhesion and preventing the model’s first layer from warping or detaching from the platform. This results in a finer and smoother bottom surface of the model Models can be removed from the plate within 1-second after cooling down, eliminating the need for a shovel or other tools. For larger models, you just have to slightly bend the plate to take them off.

For a limited time, buyers of the Adventurer 4 Pro 3D printer from the Flashforge shop in mid-June will receive three free dragon/dragon egg STL model files, sponsored by Cinderwing3D.

Upgrade Kits for Guider 3 Series and Adventurer 4 Series

Keeping in line with its product philosophy of high-speed, stability, and user-friendliness, Flashforge’s new product conference also introduced an upgraded solution for high-speed 3D printing.

The lightweight Guider 3 3D printer, which focuses on small-batch production, and the professional-grade Guider 3 Plus 3D printer, which specializes in rapid prototyping, can both be upgraded to faster printing capabilities of 300mm/s and 20,000 mm/s² with the high-speed hotend kit from the Guider 3 series. After upgrading, productivity can increase up to 350% of the previous rate.

Flashforge has also introduced a high-speed upgrade kit for the Adventurer 4 (including high-speed nozzles, upgraded firmware, and slicer matched). Owners of the Adventurer 4 can purchase this high-speed upgrade kit to enhance the printing speed of their existing 3D printers.

After upgrading, the Adventurer 4 can achieve an acceleration of 10,000 mm/s² and a maximum printing speed of 200mm/s. For example, the printing time of an astronaut model can be reduced by 39%-54%, significantly improving printing efficiency.
