Extra-large build area on the new bi v2.0, a low-cost, high precision delta format 3d printer

Quebec, Canada based Bootsindustries launched the BI V2.0 today , a self-replicating, high precision, Delta 3D printer on KickStarter.

The structure of the BI V2.0 is made of steel reinforced 3D printed corners and 3/4 inch anodized aluminium extrusions. It uses a triple pulley system which automatically keeps the delta arms of each tower level to ensure a high precision motion.

BI V2.0 features very large build volume - it is capable to produce 300 mm diameter X 300 mm height prints. The self-replicating design empowers you to create another machine and share with others. It also includes a redesigned 0.4 mm JHead for the extruder hot end called the Jhead BI Edition. This design doesn't allow backflow allowing you to print high speeds without clogging.

Another critical feature of BI V2.0 is an auto-level probe which could measure the height of your print bed at various points and automatically adjust the height of the print nozzle depending on current location. The result is a consistent layering across the large 300 mm diameter.

BI V2.0 can be controlled through a LCD controller with large screen. The user has the ability to move the printer, set speeds, temperatures and start prints when their G Code is stored on the SD Card. The Bi V2.0 comes standard with the LCD controller and a 4 GB SD card.

The delta platform is built with carbon fibre rods, 3D printed PLA, a laser cut acrylic tooling insert and has a capacity of up to three hot ends. All BI V2.0 3D printers will ship out with a heat bed, comprising a heat foil, glass and a magnetic fastening system.

The BI V2.0 is capable of producing high quality prints in either PLA, ABS, Nylon with 50 micron layer height.

Additional features of the BI V2.0 include:

• Sleeved electrical wiring for a clean look.
• Quick disconnect wires in the most convenient places to facilitate maintenance and reconfiguration.
• Triple fan assembly to maintain consistent temperatures.
• Powerful LED ring to see the printer in action.
