Modix3D MAMA-1700 Information

The MAMA-1700 is Modix’s latest innovation, primarily designed for FGF (Fused Granulate Fabrication) technology. It also features a high-flow, interchangeable filament extruder, providing greater versatility for printing highly detailed 3D models. As the flagship model in Modix’s new line of 3D printers, the MAMA-1700 brings next-level capabilities to large-scale 3D printing applications.

Discover the Power of Pellet 3D Printing

The MAMA series is primarily engineered to print with a heavy duty pellet extruder, significantly boosting print speeds and reducing costs. With Modix’s FGF pellet 3D printer, you can create life-sized objects in hours rather than days, unlocking new possibilities.

Benefits of pellet 3D printing

  • Speed: Print large objects in hours, not days.
  • Cost-Efficiency: Reduce printing costs to a few dollars per kg.
  • Material Versatility: Access a wider range of materials, including eco-friendly recycled options, with a pellet extruder.

Sample Prints

Low temperature Mold made of wood filled pellet. Wood filler makes it very easy for post processing including sanding, drilling etc.

  • Length: 1.4 Meter, Weight 7 kg
  • Print time 5 hours
  • nozzle – 3mm, extrusion width – 4mm
  • layer height – 2mm
  • Wood PLA

Composite Materials

Printing with composite pellets, such as PETG CF (Carbon Fiber) and PETG GF (Glass Fiber), results in strong, rigid parts that can withstand high impact and stress. These materials not only enhance the mechanical properties of the printed parts but also improve overall printability. The added fibers reduce material shrinkage during cooling, minimizing warping. Carbon fibers, in particular, offer superior heat dissipation, allowing for shorter layer times and enabling faster printing, especially for smaller objects.

  • 22 cm X 23 cm X 5cm
  • Print time ~1 hours
  • nozzle – 3mm
  • layer height – 1.5mm
  • PETG CF (Black) PETG GF (Gray)

Furniture & Decor

Various large letter, logos and symbols made with flame redundant material as required for installation in public locations. Print parameters for the bat sign:

  • 8.75 hours
  • 10.1 kg
  • nozzle 5mm, extrusion width – 8mm
  • PLA with White masterbatch

MAMA-1700 Pellet Extruder

Modix MAMA-1700 is equipped with DYZE Design Pulsar Extruder. This extruder is a high-performance pellet extruder designed for industrial-scale 3D printing. Introduced back in 2018, this pellet extruder is a proven work horse with a track record of reliability and experience.

Key Features:

  1. High Flow Rate: Capable of delivering a flow rate of up to 500 mm³/s, enabling the printing of large-scale objects at speeds of up to 3 kilograms per hour.Material Versatility: Supports a wide range of materials including PLA, ABS, TPE, TPU, PVA, HIPS, PC, PETG, Nylon, and composites such as wood, glass fiber, and carbon fiber filled. It also accommodates recycled materials, enhancing sustainability.
  2. Precision and Reliability: Built with precision engineering to ensure consistent and reliable extrusion, crucial for industrial applications.
  3. Ease of Maintenance: Designed for easy maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
  4. Nozzle and Screw selection – Dyze Pulsar offers nozzles from 1mm to 5mm diameter and several screws to meet your pellet 3d printing needs.

Griffin Ultra – Filament Extruder

The MAMA line of printers offers the versatility of printing with both pellets and filament. While pellet printing has its advantages, such as speed and cost efficiency, it can present challenges when detailed printing and high-resolution, smooth surfaces are required.

To address this, Modix MAMA printers come with the Griffin Ultra high-flow filament extruder as a default alternative. This print head can be easily installed in place of the Pulsar pellet extruder, allowing owners to enjoy the best of both worlds.

IDEX and Dual-Material Printing

The MAMA line of printers will also supports IDEX (Independent Dual Extruder) technology, enabling dual-material printing. With the option to use a secondary print head, users can print with a combination of pellet and pellet or pellet with filament. This setup is particularly advantageous for support structures, as water-soluble filament can be used for easy post-processing and support removal, which is challenging with pellet prints. This capability allows for the creation of complex internal geometries and cavities, enhancing design flexibility and reducing the time and effort required for post-processing.
