Mass Portal MP30 - FDM 3D printer

Delta 3D printers are unique mechanically and structurally despite using the Cartesian coordinates in their functioning. Delta 3D printers are designed for fast high accuracy 3D printing. Mass Portal, a Latvian designer and manufacturer of high quality 3D printers and peripherals, has a fine example of a Delta printer in their catalog - the MP30 FFF/FDM 3D printer.

The MP30 is a very precise 3D printer with automatic calibration to compensate for nozzle height variations, an all metal hotend (0.4 mm nozzle included) and feeder with a Bowden extrusion system, a filament sensor, overheating protection and a touch screen interface. The printhead can travel at a speed of 250 mm/s on precision linear guideways.

The build volume within the enclosed illuminated printing chamber of the MP30 3D printer is Ø 300 mm x 300 mm. In order to improve the cooling of the 3D printed part, the chamber is equipped with multiple fans, as well as air and active carbon filters to limit the fumes and microparticles from escaping the chamber.

The MP30 hotend can process 1.75 mm filaments at temperatures of up to 300 ºC. This allows the user to work with a wide range of materials such as PLA, ABS, ASA, PET(g), Nylon, PC, PP or TPU/TPE. The round glass printing bed of the MP30 3D printer is compatible with various bed adhesion products. It takes the printing bed only 5 minutes to heat up to a temperature of up to 120 ºC.

Just like all Mass Portal 3D printers and peripherals, the MP30 3D printer can be controlled either through the integrated touchscreen user interface or through the FabControl AM Platform. Both options allow the user to control, configure and monitor the 3D printing process as well as the filament drying process if the Mass Portal filament dryers FD1 or FD5 are used. The FabControl platform also sends status notifications to the user, informing about the end of the printing session as well as any occurrences during the printing process. The MP30 3D printer has USB 2.0, Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity. The latter allows the user to access the FabControl platform.

Both professional and beginner users can benefit from the many excellent features of the MP30 3D printer. The straightforward user interface, diverse connectivity options and safety features make the MP30 3D printer safe and convenient to use even in a domestic setting, helping the user create a smooth and efficient 3D printing workflow. The high extrusion and bed temperature mean that a wide range of polymers can be used with the MP30 3D printer. In order to eliminate the potential extrusion and quality problems related to humidity in filaments, the FD1 and FD5 filament dryers can be used together with the Mass Portal 3D printers.
