A great 3D printer has recently been released under the RS Pro Brand that incorporates some great features we at DesignSpark needed to shout about.
The RS Pro iTX PC 3D Printer has been designed with ease of use and with an easy upgrade path firmly at the forefront of its design. With quick-change components like the VariBLOCK head unit, PCB’s and the filament extruder, and the fact that it is open source means it can be modified by anyone with the necessary skills.
Wait…there’s a PC in there!
A key feature is the built-in PC, which is based around an ASROCK Mini ITX, sporting an AMD FT3 Kabini A4 quad-core processor and an AMD Radeon 4K graphics card, Ethernet access, sound card, 8GB Ram and a 500GB SATA disc-drive. This built-in PC, which is running Windows 10 Home, allows your do add whatever peripherals you want, such as a monitor, keyboard and mouse, networking etc. for dealing with your 3D CAD designs at the coal face. Plus, you can upgrade the PC if you need to!
Built-in Convenience
And to top it all off, the iTX PC 3D Printer can be used with DesignSpark Mechanical! There’s a guide included with the iTX that shows you how to install it, so now you can design and print on the same device, how handy is that?
