Description
The innovative WASP Spitfire System leads to a whole new generation of extruder for 3d printer: the modular architecture allows to mount a specific cartridge and nozzle for what’s your need. The SPITFIRE System is equipped with a new resistance that can bring the nozzle temperature up to 350 ° C, for printing more technical materials.
Removable cartridge with a simple turn of screw
The idea behind the new SPITFIRE System is to simply extract and replace a cartridge (consisting of nozzle, barrel and coupler) with a simple spin of screw, depending on the different printing needs and on the materials you want to print.
Interchangeable cartridges
The cartridge (consisting of nozzle, barrel and coupler) is the heart of the SPITFIRE System and gives the new WASP extruder for 3D printer maximum modularity and versatility. From now on, the extruder can be configurable, depending on the different printing needs.
Two types of cartridges have been designed to meet all your needs:
LT SPITFIRE Cartridge with teflon to print at low temperature (indicated for PLA; PETG and FLEX)
HT SPITFIRE Cartridge without teflon to print at high temperature (suggested for ABS; PA; PC; HIPS; PA+C; ASA; PMMA and PP)
The SPITFIRE cartridges LT and HT are available with nozzle of 0.4 / 0.7 / 1.2 mm of diameter too.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Delta WASP extruder
Filament driver for 1.75 mm filament
SPITFIRE Cartridge LT with 0.4 mm steel nozzle as standard
New resistance for temperatures up to 350°C
compatibility and backward compatibility
If this is the first time you buy the WASP SPITFIRE BLACK Extruder with the cartridge as a spare part for your Delta WASP printer, you may have an old version of the aluminium support. In this case, you can choose the option effector > yes in order to receive the new aluminium support with the extruder.
There are two important steps to ensure its backward compatibility:
- Mount the aluminum support you requested in the order notes.
- Contact technical support using the dedicated form to make sure, via the serial number, that the cooling fan setting has the correct values.
ATTENTION: The only difference between the red and black SPITFIRE extruder lies in the power supply voltage, the color does not determine different performance during the printing.
WASP SPITFIRE BLACK Extruder: 12v
WASP SPITFIRE RED Extruder: 24v
For this reason, each machine model is compatible with only one type of SPITFIRE extruder:
WASP SPITFIRE BLACK Extruder (12v): Delta WASP 2040, Delta WASP 2040 Turbo, Delta WASP 4070, Delta WASP 60100
WASP SPITFIRE RED Extruder (24v): Delta WASP 2040 PRO, Delta WASP 2040 TURBO2, Delta WASP 4070 INDUSTRIAL, Delta WASP 4070 INDUSTRIAL 4.0, Delta WASP 2040 INDUSTRIAL 4.0, Delta WASP 3MT INDUSTRIAL 4.0
The Spitfire system is very easy to work on and service. Some small improvements need to be made I think to make this a complete winner, the heat block that attaches to the cartridge is a bit fragile and the small M3 screw that clamps the cartridge eventually strips after a few changes, but otherwise a great concept.
