Introducing the acrylic frame Geeetech I3 3D printer

 1

This acrylic frame Geeetech I3 3D printer is designed and manufactured by Geeetech based on Reprap pursa I3, Geeetech I3 features simple assembly, easy debugging and more stable performance. The acrylic structure makes the printer less complex and easy to operate.

Main improvements and main features:

1.Simplified structure means fast assembly and easy adjustment, which saves you both time and energy as well as speed up the molding of your innovative products and ideas.

It usually takes up to 3 days for a DIYer to assemble the previous I3, not to mention the post-adjustment and debugging work. As to this I3 of Acrylic Frame, however, you can save 70% time.

2.Enhanced stability and reliability settle your fears about the performance of the machine from time to time, just feel free to print.

3.The power supply is assembled together with the printer; all the cables and wires are re-arranged to make it more neat and easy to assemble.

Let’s explicite  it with pictures— a comparasion of acrylic frame I3 and the  aluminium I3.

 1, An over view of the two I3

2, The wire arrangement

the wires are ties in the coil  in                                                                          the wires are cluttered in the air

3,The mount of filament

The filament mounted on the printer may waggle while feeding and affect the printing precesion.

3,  LCD controller

 4,The connection of screw and smooth rod

5, The support of heatbed

6,The plastic parts needed

some plastic parts are substituded by acrylic parts, and most parts are conbined together, which to a quite large extent,simplifies the assembly process .

Ok, from the above comparasion, we can see a lot of improvments made on the acrylic GEEETECH I3 printer, but that’s not a insult of our aluminium  I3 , which is also th eone we are proud of.

check the  acrylic I3  here. we have two types of  acylic frame available now.The black one and the transparant one.

It should be noted to anyone stumbling across this post like I did that this comparison is not for current models of the Geeetech i3.

It would be nice to see an updated comparison of the current i3 Pro B 8mm Acrylic to the current i3 Aluminum models as of 2016.

And archive this comparison so people aren’t confused.
