Made by MatterHackers professionals proper right here in Orange County, California, you will be assured you may be receiving an superior printer backed up by service and assist for the lifetime of your Pulse 3D printer.
The Absolutely Customizable Pulse 3D Printer
Options:
- Absolutely Automated Mattress Leveling
- Motor dampers for almost silent operation
- Identify-brand elements from E3D, BondTech, Panucatt, Olsson Ruby, and Ultimachine
- Filament run-out detection
- Automated firmware updating
- Presets for nearly each filament at the moment out there
- Customizable – all the things you need, nothing you don’t
Automated Leveling

Extremely-Quiet Printing
Each Pulse comes normal with motor dampers on the X, Y, and Z axes. These vastly scale back vibrations, supplying you with cleaner, smoother prints, and so they considerably scale back noise. The Pulse additionally comes with silicone toes. These dampen the vibrations between the printer and the floor you might be printing on and scale back the noise of the machine when printing. The Pulse is definitely one of many quietest printers we’ve ever used.
Motor dampers make the Pulse a quiet desk companion.
Print Each Filament
One of many coolest issues in regards to the Pulse is that it may be configured to print actually each filament that we supply. The bottom mannequin comes with an E3D Lite6 hotend and SeeMeCNC EZRstruder, which may deal with most filaments, together with some flexibles, and may print as much as 245°C.
Improve to the BondtechQR extruder and E3Dv6 with hardened metal nozzle, and you may print each filament in our library – from flexibles like Ninjaflex and TPU, to abrasive composites like NylonX and carbon fiber PLA.
