Longer3D Skyline small walkthrough. For those of you who are new to the 3D printing realm, let us guide you through a brief history of Longer3D. Longer3D has been around for quite some time now. The company has been manufacturing various types of 3D printers for people of all categories. With time, the quality, reliability, and functionality of the printers have increased.
Though, Longer3D have reached the high-water mark with the introduction of its Skyline model. So let us start our review of the Longer3D Skyline.
Printing Technology of the Longer3D Skyline
The Longer3D Skyline uses the amazing DLP technology for its prints. Like other DLP based printers, the Skyline also provides high-precision prints. Besides, a 405nm LED light Engine with a hinged peel mechanism enables the printer to print extremely high-resolution and accurate prints.
The Body
As compared to the Orange series, the Skyline has a much more robust and sturdy design. Besides, the metallic design not only provides a sturdy base to support the heavy-duty printing function but also offers excellent stability to the plan. Moreover, a 50 litres resin tank is also available with the Longer3D Skyline. This makes it extremely long-lasting and durable during large prints. Also, the large resin tank can be easily cleaned. This makes the printer extremely easy for maintenance and cleaning.
Build Size of the Longer3D Skyline
The Skyline has a fantastic build-size of 128 mm x 80 mm x 200 mm. This is a tremendous build-size provided the high-quality of print that the Skyline offers. Thus, we recommend the users to use the printer to its maximum build-size and make full use of it.
Software
The Longer3D Skyline uses an amazing slicer software called the SkylineWare. The software offers many amazing features like:
- Supports (.STL) files
- Automatically detects the vulnerable suspended parts
- Gives the option to amend the sensitive parts quickly
- Provides auto cross-linked support that can be removed later on
Thus the fantastic features of the SkylineWare make it an extremely powerful software in the 3D printing realm. As a result, we recommend all the professional 3D printer users out there to make full use of the Skyline.
Print Features and Resolution of Longer3D Skyline
Furthermore, the Skyline has an extremely high print speed of up to 1 inch/hour (12-20 sec/layer). Also, the Skyline has an XY print resolution of 100 Microns. And a layer thickness of as low as 20 microns. This translates to an exact final print model. Moreover, the high XY resolution ensures a highly smooth finish on the surface.
