Afinia H-Series 3D Printer - Model H479
The Afinia H-Series 3D Printer provides a €œOut of the Box 3D Printing Experience€ as the 3D Printer comes fully assembled with easy to install software for both the PC and Mac. The Afinia H-Series 3D Printer can prototype a part or model that is up to 5 inches cubed in dimensions. The output is accurate to within .15mm (6 thousandths of an inch), and has 30% of the strength of injection molded parts.
The portable Afinia H-Series 3D Printer is just under 11lbs making it easy to transport. It can also be operated in standalone mode. Once the file is downloaded to the device, the USB connection between the 3D printer and computer can be disconnected €“ even while printing.
The 3D Software is compatible with both the PC and Mac, and features an easy-to-use interface for laying out, orienting, duplicating, and scaling parts. Simply use the included utility to calibrate the printhead height, and within minutes you are printing. It easily imports STL files, and the output can be customized in terms of the amount of support material and €œraft€ (base support) printed. Breakaway support material is simple to remove, and tools for aiding the breakaway are included. Design files for 3D printing can be created using online software, professional software such as SolidWorks, or by downloading from the extensive online 3D printer community for free.
The Afinia H-Series 3D printer uses inexpensive, high-quality ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic filament for 3D printing. ABS plastic filament colors included: natural, black, red, blue, yellow, green, white, gold, purple and pink, as well as "glow in the dark" blue and green.
The Afinia H-Series was selected as the "Best Overall Experience" 3D Printer by a team of reviewers invited by Make Magazine, also winning for "Easiest Setup" and "Easiest to Use" (tied with Cubify Cube).
