When to choose the Stratasys F170
Choose it when you want Stratasys's plug-and-print reliability and soluble support at the smallest F123 size. The F370 adds a larger tray, four material bays and PC-ABS, ESD and Diran materials; the F190CR adds carbon-fibre nylon.
Pros
- Soluble support material, so complex and interlocking parts need no hands-on support removal.
- Prints PLA, ABS-M30, ASA, carbon-fibre ABS-CF10 and TPU 92A elastomer.
- Quiet for an industrial machine: 46 dB while building.
- Wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi, with GrabCAD Print for preparing and queueing jobs.
Cons
- Not supported by SimplyPrint yet: support could be built on GrabCAD's SDK.
- Runs Stratasys's closed controller with GrabCAD Print, so there is no OctoPrint or Klipper route.
- Prints only Stratasys's own material spools.
- One model and one support bay, so no automatic changeover to a second spool.
Who it suits
-
Schools Good fit
Enclosed, quiet and GREENGUARD certified with ABS, ASA and QSR support; Stratasys aims it at schools too.
-
Hobbyists Not a good fit
An industrial machine with proprietary materials and a price to match.
-
Businesses Great fit
Reliable, repeatable prototypes and tooling with soluble support.
-
Print farms Can work
GrabCAD Print queues jobs across Stratasys printers, but SimplyPrint cannot manage it today.
