Low Temperature Filament (eMorph) w/ Specially Designed Pen
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2015 2:34 pm
If this is inappropriate here please move/modify/discard as needed. This post is about eMorph and its compatible 3D pen.
ESUN is one of the only two major polymorph producer worldwide and they have been talking about making it into filament for the last year. They made first lab version this summer and have teamed up with RepRapPro UK to produce a low-temperature printer called Fisher. In the mean time they also worked with pen manufacturers and specially engineered a low-temperature 3D pen.
The filament is called eMorph/eMate. Both have same formula and only 1.75mm for now. The eMorph will add 3mm version for printers.
The pen is named as iSUN 3D pen. Essentially they provided the low temperature design and requirements, those factories nearby produce them.
I personally think eMorph is much more useful in 3D pen than in printer.
In my view this is a great solution and addressed current 3D pen's major issues.
One is the tip safety. People get burned quite easily, especially kids. Another is the waste re-usability. The waste is pretty much still work like PolyMorph pellets and can be used for molding, repairing, diy, geometry model and toys etc. The pen still supports PLA but not ABS. So they went on to kickstarter and hopefully can interact with more users and get more feedbacks before mass production. Their kickstarter campaign is not meant to raise money for the project. The project is already 95% done. They want to listen to clients before mass production.
The only low temperature pen I know of is the one using uv rasin. I don't know anyone have developed low temperature 3D FDM pen.
So I am helping post here and hopefully viewers here can provide some comments/suggestions. I will try to answer questions if I can. I worked with them during the process.
