With its heated chamber, this Delta machine is a cut above anything else in its price range.
Granted, the price is still significantly higher than most desktop printers.
Upon the printer’s arrival, the full scale of this machine becomes apparent.
While many larger printers may match its footprint, few, if any, come close to its height.
But that’s not all.
Size isn’t the only major selling point justifying the $6,500/6,500 price tag.
As with their other printers, it comes with a checklist of desirable features.
It is, of course, Mosaic compatible and relies on that tried-and-tested system for multi-filament compatibility.
There’s really little that doesn’t impress once the machine is unpacked.
However, one question remains: is its size enough to justify the significant price tag?
This means that far more intricate prints can be developed, as there’s generally less vibration.
Then there’s the speed.
Or at least, there was the speed - until CORE XY machines started to appear.
Traditionally, Delta machines could be cranked up to print speeds that few standard printers could compete with.
These allow for swift transitions between different printing materials without lengthy recalibrations.
The AzteQ automatically calibrates with each new printhead, streamlining the process.
Ease of use has been a consistent theme in Trilab printers, and the AzteQ Industrial is no exception.
The AzteQ Industrial’s integrated camera, complete with adjustable LED lighting, enables remote monitoring of prints.
This is particularly useful for lengthy prints where on-site supervision is impractical.
This size is ideal for catering to large-scale business and industrial printing needs, particularly for larger prototypes.
Throughout this test, I’ve chosen to use PLA, ASA, and PETG.
However, being a machine that costs significantly more than average, it needs to offer more.
But again, its open design makes it unsuitable for printing ABS and other fume-generating materials in the workshop.
In this test, I utilized three materials: PLA, ASA, and PETG.
With PLA and PETG, I printed with the door of the machine open and with ASA closed.
While the top speeds didn’t match those of the smaller machines, the print quality surpassed them.
A little finishing is needed, and the surface quality is absolutely smooth.
Although not designed for the purpose, printing characters and figures worked well.
Still, the accuracy of the supports generated enabled the production of detailed prints.
One of the key features is the net web surfer-based software that enables remote upload and monitoring of prints.
However, there are differences, with the main ones being the increased build area and the heated chamber.
