Though it would be nice to see some aesthetic improvements to the casing, especially considered its price tag, the Dremel 3D45 is a very versatile 3D printer, capable of producing models of a high quality. It could very well be your next workhorse 3D printer. As some dimensions fall remarkably short of the target reference measurement, we can conclude that the printer is precise but, as yet, it is not fully accurate. Still, the difference in the end parts is neglibile and deviation doesn’t undermine functionality.

REVIEW: The Dremel 3D45 a professional - 3D Printing Industry

For the duration of 3D Printing Industry’s test period, the 3D45 was very reliable, producing multiple parts with very little deviation in size. We also proved that the machine can be used for a variety of different purposes, from functional prototyping and modelmaking, to the production of educational tools. In this model, the screw’s thread quality was excellent, requiring no effort when adding the nut. Small part test on the Dremel Digilab 3D45.The 3D Printing Industry engineering team has been working with the Dremel 3D45 over the course of one month. In this time, the machine has been intensively tested to prove several core claims: Included with the printer is the DigiLab 3D Slicer software, which uses the open-source Cura platform that we have seen in many other 3D printers. It is easy for beginners to use, and powerful and versatile enough for advanced users. With the software installed, you can open, manipulate, and slice a file; launch a print job; or save a file in printable format—the 3D45 can print either G-code or Dremel's own .3gdrem format. Resolution ranges from 300 microns to 50 microns; the low-resolution setting is 300 microns, standard resolution is 200 microns, high resolution is 100 microns, and Ultra resolution is 50 microns. In addition to the DigiLab 3D Slicer, you can send files to Dremel's cloud-based slicer in the Dremel Print Cloud. Stellar Print Quality and Performance Monitoring your prints is very easy with the 3D45. The built-in HD camera (720p) lets you watch your print real-time but also lets you create sharable time lapse videos of your prints. You have the option to remotely pause and stop prints when anything goes wrong. It is possible to connect multiple Dremels to the cloud over Wi-Fi or ethernet. The cloud management software (developed by 3DPrinterOS) gives you insight in the current print status, temperatures and the amount of filament that’s left on the spool. This makes it ideal for offices, maker spaces and universities. b. Place the new top cover over the extruder. c. Replace the two 2mm screws onto the cover. Refer picture under Step 2c.

On the third try, the team successfully 3D printed the bone using a third party ABS.comparable to Dremel’s Eco-ABS. The raft used in this test experienced no warping, and overall surface quality was very fine. Test print of a bone model using a third party ABS on the Dremel Digilab 3D45 As mentioned before, the 3D45 is aimed at the prosumer / professional market. Its ability to print specialty filament, the closed print chamber and versatile software is what makes this machine perfect for schools, maker spaces and print farms. The models were 3D printed in a single build and repeated four times more to create an ample dataset. An example can be seen in the chart below for the “Square with Hole” model. Overall the printing cost of this printer is high. Because most of the factors that determine the printing cost are higher than the industry standard.

b. Unscrew the two motor screws below using the Torx screwdriver, as shown in the picture below. Please ensure that the screws once fully unscrewed, should still be left inserted in the extruder chassis hole. The print bed on the Dremel 3D45 is made to work with more challenging materials. It comes in two parts, first the heated bed, and second a removable glass plate. The heated bed can be raised up to a temperature of 100°C, vital to prevent warping of 3D prints. The removable glass plate, on the other hand, is a convenient addition when removing finished parts. Printing onto this plate also creates smoother first layers on objects. Nylon is strong, resilient and a little bit flexible, which makes it perfect for functional applications. The Dremel 3D45 is marketed as being suitable for printing nylon and so I thought of a few use cases; a living hinge and nylon connectors.
