Eplus3D EP-M260 — Technical data

The EP-M260 is the mid-sized system of Eplus3D's Flex Line and has been in the range since around 2021. With a 260 × 260 × 390 mm build volume, measured including the build plate, it covers the size in which the EP-M250 and EP-M250Pro used to be offered, but with more build height. It is available with one or two fibre lasers of 500 or 700 W, the focus is 70–120 µm and layers from 20 to 120 µm are possible. The manufacturer quotes up to 55 cc/h in theory, 380 V at 5–6 kW and a weight of around 2.6 t.

When buying a used EP-M260, the laser configuration and power on the type plate are the first check, as they determine productivity and resale value. Then look at laser hours and the condition of protective glass, filter, recoater blade and chamber seal, and request a test build plate with density cubes. As Eplus3D offers open parameters, the parameter library should be transferred together with the EPHatch licence. For installation and delivery, allow for 2.6 t and a height of around 2.4 m.
