The WiFi was very easy to set up, but can only be accessed through FlashPrint. Personally, I’m ok with this, as the flex plate is superior in my opinion.įiles can be moved via a USB thumb drive or built in WiFi. Once you choose to install the flex plate there’s no going back – not without chiseling the magnet’s adhesive backing off. There is no room for the extra thickness of the magnet. The glass is held in place with brackets in the back and latches on the front that snugly hold the plate. A rather misleading illustration on the FlashForge website makes it look like the build plates will stack, but that was not the case. Unfortunately at the time of this review, nozzles for the Artemis are not listed on the FlashForge website.Ĭuriously, the Artemis comes with two build surfaces – a factory installed glass plate and a separate PEI flex plate with a magnet to add yourself. The printer comes with three spares, so it should take a while before you’ll need to order more. The Artemis has an odd size of high flow nozzle that you’ll have to purchase directly from FlashForge. I was able to get excellent performance from the machine at 80 mm/s (a little quicker than the 50 to 60 mm/s we get from standard printers), but pushing it faster is questionable at best. The FlashForge website says Artemis can reach speeds of 180 mm/s and though it comes with a high flow nozzle, the cooling fan isn’t up to the task. ![]() However, the easy to load direct drive makes up for this hardship. I’m not fond of the rear mounted spool holder, which makes changing spools somewhat difficult. The large touch screen is very responsive with widely spaced buttons and easy to read menu options. Our test unit had a bright orange plastic case, but you also have the choice of royal blue. This style of machine is more compact than the typical bed slinger, and produces smoother prints due to its gentle upward moving build plate. Most Cartesian printers, like the Ender 3 S1 Pro, have the bed mounted on the Y axis where it is subjected to rapid back and forth movement. The FlashForge Artemis is a cube style, open frame 3D printer with a Z mounted build plate that moves up and down while you print.
