Raise3D N2 Single

The Raise3D N2 Single is an FDM 3D printer from Raise3D with a 305 x 305 x 305 mm build volume.

Specifications

The Raise3D N2 Single is a professional desktop FDM 3D printer released in 2016. Unlike the Plus model, which has a taller Z-axis gantry, the N2 Single features a cubic build volume. This more compact vertical height offers specific advantages, including increased structural rigidity of the frame, lower susceptibility to frame flex, and simplified Z-axis alignment. It is designed as a rigid, enclosed system for industrial prototyping and functional engineering evaluations.

• Hotend: It is equipped with a single Raise3D V2 all-metal hotend, which can reach print temperatures up to 300°C.

Calibration

To maintain optimal print quality and prevent mechanical artifacts, the mechanical axes and build plate must be aligned manually.

• Build Plate Preparation: Clean the BuildTak sheet with 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and a microfiber cloth before starting a print.
• Expected result: Complete removal of surface contaminants and oils, ensuring the filament adheres correctly to the build surface.

Common defects

While the Raise3D N2 Single is highly reliable due to its simpler single-nozzle design, it is still subject to the mechanical and electrical issues inherent in the N2 architecture.

• Hardware defects and mechanical weaknesses
• Ribbon Cable Fatigue: The multi-conductor ribbon cable connecting the mainboard to the print head is subject to continuous bending.

What it is used for

Excellent Use-Cases:

• Functional Prototyping: The 305 x 305 x 305 mm cubic build volume is ideal for printing enclosures, mechanical housings, and jigs and fixtures.
• Engineering-Grade Parts (ABS, ASA, PETG): The fully enclosed chamber provides a warm, draft-free environment that prevents warping and layer splitting, making it highly reliable for structural engineering parts.
