3D Printing

3D printers are fantastic things! Producing some great looking parts straight off the printer. However, if you actually own a desktop 3D printer you will know that this isn’t always the case and all kinds of printing errors can creep in. Removing support material can sometimes be a pain and what if you need to modify the part after printing? You won’t want to print the whole thing again if it can be avoided!… This is where the MODIFI3D Finishing Tool steps in. MODIFI3D offers a low cost solution to Finish, Repair and Modify 3D printed parts.

What is MODIFI3D?

How MODIFI3D works

Finishing 3D prints should be easy and never a chore. Simply plug in the USB, touch the switch and in less than 15 seconds you are ready to go. You will be able to remove any unwanted material or modify your print without having to redesign and print again!

Place MODIFI3D on its stand and in 25 seconds it will go into sleep mode (a basic stand is included but you can print your own stand/tool holder with our downloadable 3D file).

Step by step

1. Remove the protective cap (if used) and place MODIFI3D on the included stand.

2. Plug in the USB (USB 2.0 or 3.0 recommended).

3. Touch the metal switch to start heating. A red light indicates that MODIFI3D is switched on.

3. In less than 15 seconds MODIFI3D will reach around 300ºC (572ºF) and is ready for use. To increase the temperature or reach the maximum of 420-450ºC (788-842ºF) continue to touch the metal switch until the required temperature is reached.

4. If MODIFI3D is not used for 25 seconds it will go into sleep mode (light will go out and the tip will start to cool). To wake MODIFI3D just gently touch the switch and the heating process will continue.

5. Always unplug the USB if MODIFI3D is not being used.

Quick change tips

1. To change tips unplug the USB and allow to cool fully.

2. Unscrew the locking nut and pull out the tip

3. Push the replacement tip in fully and tighten the locking nut

4. Plug in the USB… Easy!

How to clean the MODIFI3D tips

Over time you may want to clean the interchangeable tips. We recommend using a damp sponge to remove any plastic or residue from the tips. This works best whilst the tips are still warm (but obviously not hot enough to pose a risk of burning). Please ensure that the USB is unplugged and the tips have cooled to a safe temperature.

Do not use abrasive cleaning products. This can damage the special coating on the tips.
