Dual extruder 3D printing can save time and money. Utilizing the HFA extruder for fine exterior printing and the HFE 300 for quick infill, we saw a savings of 15 hours and a 6 lbs of filament.
Material: PLA
Amount: 9.98kg/22lbs
Size: X: 698mm Y: 841mm Z: 546mm
Printer Type: WorkSeries 400
HFA Extruder: Wall Extrusion
HFE 300 Extruder: Infill Extrusion
Nozzle: 0.6mm (HFA), 1.0mm (HFE 300)
Layer Height: 0.3mm
Print Speed: 125mm/s
Print Time: 100 hours
Printing the infill with the HFE 300 extruder with a 1.0 mm nozzel instead of the HFA extruder with the 0.6 mm nozzle saved 15 hours of print time and 6 lb of filament. The 1.0 mm nozzle only required an infill of 7% density instead of a minimum of 12% the HFA would have required.
