About the Snapmaker J1S HIGH SPEED
The Snapmaker J1s is an innovative high-speed IDEX 3D printer featuring dual independent extruders with a maximum print speed of 350mm/s. It has a compact, rigid metal frame and multiple smart calibration features like auto XY offset and tool-free bed leveling for ease of use. The flexible IDEX system enables 4 printing modes including mirror and copy, allowing users to maximize productivity and print multi-material objects. With a maximum acceleration of 10,000 mm/s2, the J1s can produce highly detailed small models efficiently. Optimizations like vibration compensation, seamless extruder switching, and cornering optimization further improve print quality and speed. The integrated 5” touchscreen allows easy configuration and monitoring. Supported materials range from PLA and ABS to engineering plastics like nylon and PC. The J1s comes pre-assembled with essential accessories like swappable print heads, a PEI glass build plate, and nozzle wipers. Combined with the customized IDEX slicing software, it provides a high-performance 3D printing solution right out of the box. Key specs include 300x200x200 mm max build volume, 0.4mm nozzle (upgradeable), 100°C max bed temp, and WiFi/USB connectivity.
Benefits of the Snapmaker J1S HIGH SPEED
Modern mainboard features - Many 3D printer features relate to the version of the mainboard and firmware, including features like resuming prints after a power failure and support for silent stepper motor drivers for quieter printing. Newer boards also include safety features like thermal runaway protection which shuts the printer down if it detects issues with overheating.
Has touch screen - having a touch screen isn't a deal-maker or breaker, but it is a convenient feature that makes it easier to navigate the interface when you are printing files and configuring 3D printing settings.
Direct drive extruder - Direct drive extruders are mounted right above the hot end, and push the filament directly into it, as opposed to a side mounted bowden extruder setup. We prefer direct drive extruders to bowden since they are less prone to jamming and typically require less maintenance. they also are much easier to use with flexible materials
PEI build surface has good balance of adhesion and part removal - PEI beds are one of the more premium build surface options, and for good reason. They offer great first layer adhesion with no spraysor other treatments, and can be flexed to quickly remove parts. You'll need to clean the bed with a solvent like acetone or IPA every so often to maintain the bed's adhesion.
Affordable - This printer does not include a lot of frills, but offers a good experience for a low price point. While this low price means you won't be getting the most premium features, you can still get a lot out of these machines if you are willing to put up with some missing quality of life features.
H-Bot Kinematic System - An H-bot 3D printer kinematic system utilizes two belts to control the motion of the printer's X and Y axes. The two belts are fixed to opposite ends of the printer's frame and are crossed over each other, forming an H-shape. This design allows for faster and smoother movements, as well as more precise control over the position of the print head. The H-bot system also allows for faster and more precise movements, resulting in higher quality prints with smoother curves and sharper corners.
Wireless printing - In addition to the standard USB and SD card connections, you can connect wirelessly to this printer to print from your computer or mobile device.
Linear rail motion system - Linear rails provide added stability to the moving parts of the printer, allowing higher printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Keep in mind that the most important factor to consider when optimizing for print speed is the flow rate of filament, which depends on the hot end and nozzle size moreso than the motion system.
