What Our Customers Say About Pulse

━━━━━

A unit well built and of high quality... ★★★★★

-Richard H. Ford | Medical Institute of Northeast Georgia

We were surprised at what we found when we received our first printer. A unit well built and of high quality... It worked like a charm right out of the box... No tweaking like other units, just plug it in and run the initial setup as instructed and off you go.

What Upgrades are Available for the Pulse?

32-Bit CPU +$199

Print faster, cleaner, and more accurately. Assembled with stepper drivers for a silent printing experience. This higher-bit CPU allows the printer to utilize maximum printing capabilities without negatively affecting print quality results. This upgrade REPLACES the 8-bit Einsy RAMBo Board that comes stock with base model.

Deluxe Hi-Res LCD Screen +$95

Allows for printing tetherless via standard SD card, manually adjusting nozzle and heated bed capabilities, and customizing the backlight color of the LCD screen across the RGB spectrum. This REPLACES the Standard LCD that comes stock with the base model.

What Add-Ons are Available for the Pulse?

Launchpad Remote Training +$99.99

Access 1 hour of remote training with an Application Engineer to set up for printing success quickly and with confidence.

PrintDry PRO Filament Drying System +$189

Required for long-term success with hygroscopic filaments like Nylon, NylonX, and even PETG and TPU. Temperature is adjustable between 35°C - 70°C and there are small openings on the sides of the chamber for printing while drying. This container has automatic humidity control and can hold two standard spools and more with additional upgrades.

Pulse Enclosure Kit - Black +$279

Helps regulate printer's ambient temperature and reduces warping that may occur during printing. This enclosure kit is also available in white (colors do not affect quality or performance).

LayerLock Powder Coated PEI Build Plate +$35

For optimal, strong bed adhesion with standard filaments such as PLA, ABS, PETG, and flexibles (TPU and TPE). Both sides are powder coated with PEI for longer-lasting durability.

LayerLock Garolite Extra Spring Steel Plate +$49

An extra LayerLock Garolite Build Surface installed on a LayerLock spring steel build plate. Succeed with Nylons as well as standard materials like PLA, PETG, and flexibles.

BuildTak Extra Spring Steel Plate +$35

An extra BuildTak Build Surface installed on a LayerLock spring steel build plate. Succeed with standard materials like PLA, ABS, and PETG as well as flexibles.

Pulse 3D Printer Maintenance Kit +$110

Maintenance is a must for any machine. This kit contains all the essential components and tools for standard, minimal maintenance on your Pulse.

MatterHackers 3D Printing Tool Kit Premium +$96

This kit contains all of the essential tools a maker needs for successful 3D printing, as well as additional items that further streamline your FDM experience for faster and better workflow.

Pules 3D Printer Features:

Auto-Mesh Bed Leveling

Pulse uses a genuine BLTouch probe to automatically level the bed before printing for a nice even bottom layer.

Standard LCD Screen

Standard resolution screen that allows for printing tetherless via standard SD card and manually adjusting nozzle and heated bed capabilities. Note that you will need a standard SD card that has 2-16GB capacity and must be formatted as FAT32.

SNAP Quick-Change Tool Head System

Replace or switch between different hotend-nozzle configurations, without any tools, in a snap. Upgrading and repairing the hot extrusion just got a lot easier.

E3D V6 Hotend 1.75mm (Bowden)

The robust and reliable hotend by E3D. Capable of temperatures up to 290°C and compatible with any material that extruders below 300°C.

Hardened Steel Nozzle 0.4mm x 1.75mm

The reliable entry nozzle for printing abrasive, as well as non-abrasive, filaments.

Bondtech BMG Extruder

A reliable extruder that all but eliminates slipping, deformation, and under-extrusion. Produced by industry leaders over at Bondtech.

Capricorn - Premium Bowden Tubing

Premium quality Bowden tubing that follows stricter diameter tolerances and is formulated with additional additives that increase lubricity in order to eliminate jams, clogs, and gaps in printing.

LayerLock Garolite Bed Surface

Garolite is the go-to bed surface to succeed with Nylon, NylonX, and other nylon-based materials that is also capable of printing standard filaments like PLA.

LayerLock MagBase on Heated Bed

This magnetic base allows for build surfaces on steel plates to be detachable making print removal and build surface interchangeability a whole lot easier and convenient. The max temperature of the heated bed is 120°C.

24V Power Supply and Spool Holder

This 24V power supply easily processes any complex tasks so no missteps occur during a print job. Additionally, the spool holder intentionally extends from the power supply so there's a seamless path of filament to the extruder for reliable results.

MatterControl 3D Printer Software Including Power Recovery

This free, open-source, all-in-one software package lets you design, slice, organize, and manage your 3D prints. It contains printer settings ideal for the Pulse XE 3D printer and has helpful features such a power recovery, reloading filament mid-print, real-time modification of Z-offset, and more.
