And let us not forget that this 3D printer is aimed at schools and teaching environment, where the additional safety features and cloud UI will be more than welcome.
While it is actually a safety feature, especially for the kind of environments that it is intended to be used, it still leaves a lot to be desired. Having a nonheated bed means that the user is required to use some sort of glue on the build plate so that the print will stick.
This is very critical, especially in this case, where the platform moves so much. Not having a heated bed also means that you can not print in any exotic materials. ABS will work with a certain glue but it is not really recommended as there might be significant warping when printing large objects. PLA will work just fine but there might be problems when printing tall objects.
Wireless Connectivity: While WiFi is an advertised as a great feature, many users have reported unstable connections with the build in wireless connection. This might be fixed using software updates, but for now, a wired connection is recommended for the best possible reliability.
While the Polar 3D Printer is a very capable and high-performance printer, there are some other 3D printers that offer simial functionality. The Dreamer is also a very well and respected 3D. It has a protective shell around the print platform and a similar print volume. Its biggest advantage though is the inclusion of a dual extrusion print head. This means that you can print using 2 different materials at the same time. This is another very capable 3D printer that comes with the same protective features and beautiful user interface while being significantly cheaper than the Polar 3D.
Polar has created a unique product by introducing a 3D printer specifically designed for schools and classrooms. That forced Polar to make the printer as simple and as efficient as possible. The very unique and impressive twisting bed allowed Polar to use fewer components and achieve a very impressive total build volume in comparison to the size of the printer.
The very simple 3D printer, combined with the clever and intuitive, cloud-based user interface, makes the Polar 3D Printer one of the best choices for usage environment where a lot of people will want to use the printer and manage it. Core Features of the Polar 3D Printer Build Volume: One unique feature of the Polar 3D printer is that the build platform, as well as the total build area, is not a square.
Layer Resolution: 50 — microns 0. Some Alternatives to Consider While the Polar 3D Printer is a very capable and high-performance printer, there are some other 3D printers that offer simial functionality.
Conclusion Polar has created a unique product by introducing a 3D printer specifically designed for schools and classrooms. Author Recent Posts. Sam Westin.

Additional content is also being created. This will mean all the scenarios need to be laid out again and new enhancements such as limited objectives potentially incorporated. Finally, we have a list of programmatic changes needed across various series covering a full gamut of opportunities. They are too many to list but will be fodder for a future blog post. These are just a few examples of the continuing work underway to improve existing titles.
Traditionally, John Tiller did not talk about new titles in development. The rationale was to prevent disappointment when a title was either not ready when expected or ultimately shelved.
WDS changed that approach with the early revelation of Panzer Battles Kursk — Southern Flank, six months before release and we have subsequently announced at least one new title expected to be published in the following year. We currently have over twenty projects in various stages of completion that are scheduled for release over the next three years or so.
These are new game projects beyond the enhancement work listed previously. In some cases, a new game series is planned to take us beyond the twelve series currently available. With the caveat that all is work in progress we would like to share a title that is expected to be released in With four different teams working on Panzer Campaigns, we have significant new titles in development. This battle is also called the fourth battle of Kharkov and would be the final time the city would change hands.
The game is the first title from Daniel Asensio, a historian speciality: Ancient Iberian peoples in pre-Roman Hispania and a keen modder of Panzer Campaigns.
The title covers the period from July to mid-August and will cover both the first and second phases of Operation Rumyantsev, the battle for Kharkov, and the counterattack at Bogodukhov. Here are a few screenshots from the current prototype build:. We mentioned in the equivalent blog post last year that the Eastern Front in had not been adequately investigated and we are planning to remedy that.
We already have a title in development that covers the area north of the Rumyantsev operation and we are planning a third that covers to the south.
The difference here though is the over-arching title will only have a number of campaign scenarios included and will probably be recommended for multi-player play due to the size of the scenarios. The other three titles will be focused on the various sized scenarios you would expect to see in a standard Panzer Campaigns game. This is a big project, but Daniel is making great progress. If not apparent, we are sharing news of a game release cycle that will take several years.
This is different to the past, but we think it worthwhile trialling, with all the necessary caveats. By giving you all an insight into our current development projects we can share more, receive feedback and more content for future blog posts. It also helps the developers see the level of support or interest in a title and its content. All going well, we will share more in-development titles during the year.
We have our work cut out for us, but with your support we believe we can continue to deliver the games you love to play. Love the small tweeks to the Tiller games since his unfortunate passing. Any chance we will see a Marlborough period game?
It means the final offensive of German forces against the last defence line of the French army, in June This release includes no new data but does change the way we correct formation energies. The old correction scheme remains available for those who need to use it. More info in our release logs.
This release updates some older materials with new calculations, and adjusts our rules for deprecating older calculations. It does not contain any new materials. Thanks to the new calculations many materials that were previously deprecated are now accessible again. This release is in preparation for a switch to our new compatibility scheme which will improve our predictions of formation energy.
