BCN3D Sigmax R19 – Dual-extruder 3D printer with IDEX system

The BCN3D Sigmax R19 is a reliable and easy-to-use desktop 3D printer with Independent Dual Extruder System (IDEX) that delivers high-resolution multi-material parts in a simple and effective way.

Main product features:

• Dual Extruder IDEX System for additive manufacturing of multiple materials and colors
• 420 mm x 297 mm x 210 mm build size enables you to 3D print large parts
• Powerfull Bondtech extruders ensure an ideal production process
• Filament runout sensor for an improved workflow
• Optimized hotends by E3D
• Bondtech TM extruders
• Advanced user experience through new user interface

HOTENDS OPTIMIZED BY E3D

Manufactured and assembled by the top world hotend manufacturer, the new hotend version outstands for:

• Finest machining quality: Internal key geometries at the nozzle and the heatbreak precisely machined and QC‚Äôd to ensure the highest quality standards.
• Improved thermal dissipation: Optimized heatbreak and heatsink geometries provide a better heat transfer. This reduces underextrusion issues caused by heat creep and provides a more reliable extrusion under different environments.
• Refined electronics: Heater cartridge with narrower resistance tolerance ensures less variation on the thermal behavior of different hotends. New thermistor cartridge enhances the heat transfer, providing a more accurate reading and a more consistent extrusion.
• Assembled by E3D: The assembly process and quality control performed by and experimented team of professionals in a state-of-the-art assembly line secure a top performance over the time.

EXTRUSION MUSCLE BY BONDTECHTM

Both R19 3D printers feature the high-tech dual-drive gears by Bondtech,
providing:

• Unmatched grip: The dual-drive gears have proved to be the best feeding system to ensure a reliable extrusion, getting rid of grinding issues no matter the filament used
• Increased torque: A planetary gearbox at the extruder mechanism provides a mighty torque to reduce underextrusion problems
• Improved extrusion control: The gearbox also enables a more precise extrusion rate to 3D print complex geometries

FILAMENT RUNOUT SENSOR

A simple yet effective subsystem: A mechanical switch to detect filament presence allows preventing from one of the most common and frustrating failure reasons.

• Automatic job pause: In case of running out of filament during a print job, the 3D printer will automatically pause and warn the user to load new filament to resume the manufacturing process, letting to save time and money.
• Thoroughly tested: Several design iterations and thousands of 3D printing hours ensure a robust performance over the time.

IMPROVED GUI AND UX

The refined Graphic User Interface incorporates several new features, assistants and information
to offer a smoother and more intuitive user experience.

• Information screens: Processes and assistants are detailed, providing the user a context to operate the 3D printer flawlessly.
   
• Maintenance alerts: After a certain distance covered, a maintenance alert prompts, recommending the user to clean and grease the axis.
   
• More 3D printing parameters to control: Now it is possible to independently adjust Flow Rates and Layer Fan Speeds for each hotend during manufacturing process.
   
• New Assistant to change the Hotend: It provides a step-by-step process to properly change a hotend and calibrate it.
   
• Hotend identification: The user can select the hotends installed, which improves the calibration process and prevents from mismatching gcode configurations.
   
• More materials presets: The Load Filament assistant now includes more material presets to ease the process to the user.
   
• Calibration process refined: Internal calculations have been optimized to provide a more robust outcome.

MIRROR AND DUPLICATION MODES

The Sigma & Sigmax R19 now feature the most productive 3D printing modes to take all the profit of the IDEX architecture.

SOFTWARE SUPPORT

BCN3D Cura 2.1.0 has been released together with the Sigma & Sigmax R19 to give full support to the Mirror and Duplication 3D printing modes as well as optimized manufacturing profiles.
