Fuse 1 generation build chamber print bed color variation

Fuse 1 generation build chamber print bed color variation

Fuse 1 generation build chamber print beds may vary significantly in color due to factors like manufacture date and duration of use. Print bed color variation has no effect on print performance.

Current Fuse 1 generation build chambers contain anodized print beds. Anodized print beds are initially black but lighten over time. This has no effect on the performance of the build chamber. In the image to the right, the three build chambers contain anodized print beds of varying age and usage.

Earlier Fuse 1 generation build chambers contain powder-coated print beds, which retain their black color indefinitely. There is no difference in print performance between the two print beds. In the image to the right, the build chamber contains a powder-coated print bed.
