Topic: ZCorp ZPrinter-450 New Material. Any Ideas?

Hello all,

I am a student/researcher at a University in Texas. We currently have three 3D printers and our only color printer (ZPrinter 450) has been giving us a lot of trouble. The main issue at this point is we are currently out of binder (zb-59), which has been discontinued. We are trying to find any distributor that has zb-59 in stock, but have had no luck.

My question is can we buy the new binder (zb-63) and keep the old powder (zp-130) without greatly compromising the final product? Can and where could we find zb-59?

So far every distributor wants us to switch to the zb-63(binder) and zp-151(powder). This seems like a poor investment seeing how we have over 20 Kilograms of zp-130 powder and just need one or two cartridges of zb-59 binder.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!!

Thanks,
David

I have not worked with a Zprinter for some time but my guess is that they will not play well together.  You might look into the MSDS for some insight.

That is what I was worried about. just e-mailed someone who is selling generic binder to compare the MSDS to that of the zb-59. thanks for the reply.

Hi,
If you are still looking for a solution to this problem- there are other manufacturers of consumables for ZPrinters. I suggest you contact Noble 3D Printers in Las Vegas.
