About this product

Kings FGF1800 is a large-format pellet extrusion 3D printer with a 71×47×43 in / 1800×1200×1100 mm enclosed build envelope — roughly 6× the volume of the FGF800. It prints directly from raw polymer granules, the same feedstock as injection molding, at material costs 5–10× lower than equivalent filament. A 1–8 mm interchangeable nozzle range and up to 15 kg/h of screw-driven output cover everything from detailed tooling masters to fast structural fills, and it runs on a single 220 V shop outlet — no three-phase infrastructure required.

Why engineers choose the FGF1800

Four things production teams verify before committing to large-format FGF.

Pellet economics

Granulate 5–10× below filament cost for the same polymer — injection-molding feedstock off the open market, no vendor lock-in.

Roughly 6× the FGF800 volume

71×47×43 in / 1800×1200×1100 mm enclosed chamber prints large tooling, bucks, and one-piece parts other shop machines have to split.

1–8 mm nozzles, up to 15 kg/h

Three-zone intelligent heating and a wide nozzle range let you trade finish for throughput per job — fine masters or fast structural fill.

Enclosed cabinet, single-phase

Fully enclosed cabinet on a single 220 V outlet with 50 kg pneumatic auto-feed and power-loss resume — shop-floor ready, no three-phase build-out.

How we deliver it

Every FGF1800 ships as a working process, not a crate — configured, installed, and validated.

Step 01
Configured to the application

Nozzle set, chamber-heating option, and material plan specced with an applications engineer before the order ships.

Step 02
Installed and trained on-site

US-based installation and operator training from California — your team runs the first large-format build with our engineer.

Step 03
Validated print profiles

Profiles for your starting materials plus a granulate drying workflow, verified on your machine before hand-off.

Materials

  • Standard (up to 350°C): ABS, ABS-FR, ABS+CF, ABS+GF, PETG, PETG-FR, PETG+GF, PLA, ASA, ASA+GF, TPU, PC, PA, PP, PA+CF, PC+CF
  • High-temperature option (up to 450°C): PEI+CF and other engineering compounds
  • Pellet size accepted: 0.04–0.2 in / 1–5 mm — standard injection-molding granulate and most regrind

Pellet economics, in numbers

The 5–10× claim, shown on one real part instead of adjectives.

ABS example Pellets (FGF1800) Filament (FFF)
Material price, typical 2026 market ~$4 / kg ~$22 / kg
44 lb / 20 kg large tooling part — material cost ~$80 ~$440
Saving on that one part ~$360 — about 5.5× lower material cost

Typical open-market pricing for standard ABS granulate vs. ABS filament; filled and engineering grades scale similarly. Your exact numbers depend on material and supplier — ask us for a cost-per-part calculation on your geometry.

Unedited feedback from engineers running pellet 3D printing

★★★★★ 4.9 / 5 · 24 reviews
★★★★★

We moved our thermoforming tooling from outsourced CNC to large-format FGF. A big ABS+GF mold prints overnight and costs a fraction of machined aluminum.

Mark Production Engineering Lead · Packaging manufacturer
★★★★★

Pellet feedstock was the whole point — we run the same PA+CF granulate as our injection molding line. No filament markup, no vendor lock-in.

Support is the difference. Their engineer dialed in drying and screw settings for our recycled compound in the first week.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

What is the difference between FGF pellet printing and filament (FFF) printing?
The Kings FGF1800 prints directly from plastic pellets — the same feedstock used in injection molding — instead of filament. Pellets cost a fraction of filament for the same base polymer and open access to grades that are never extruded into filament, including glass- and carbon-filled compounds. A 50 kg hopper with pneumatic auto-feed and power-loss resume keeps multi-day builds running. The trade-off: FGF is built for large-format speed, not fine detail. For tooling, bucks, and structural parts measured in kilograms, the Kings FGF1800 economics are hard to match with filament.
What pellets can the Kings FGF1800 process — can I run my own compound or regrind?
The Kings FGF1800 is an open-material system: PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, TPU, PC, PA, and PP, including fire-retardant grades and filled compounds such as ABS+GF, ABS+CF, ASA+GF, PETG+GF, PA+CF, PC+CF, and PEI+CF with the high-temperature option. It accepts pellets 1–5 mm in diameter, which covers standard injection-molding granulate and most regrind. If you run a proprietary blend or recycled compound, our applications engineers will help you qualify it on the Kings FGF1800 before you commit.
How big a part can the FGF1800 build, and how does that compare to the FGF800?
The Kings FGF1800 has a 71×47×43 in / 1800×1200×1100 mm enclosed build envelope — roughly 6× the volume of the FGF800. That lets you print large tooling, full-size automotive bucks, hull plugs, and one-piece sculpture that a smaller machine would force you to split and bond. It still runs on a single-phase 220 V shop outlet, so the footprint fits a normal production floor without a three-phase build-out.
How much cheaper are pellets than filament on the FGF1800?
For the same base polymer, pellets typically cost 5–10× less per kilogram than filament, because you skip the filament extrusion step entirely. On a Kings FGF1800 printing multi-kilogram parts — a 20 kg tooling master or vacuum-forming mold — that difference is a line item, not a rounding error. There is also no filament vendor lock-in: you buy granulate on the open market. Ask us for a cost-per-part comparison against your current filament spend.
Can the Kings FGF1800 print carbon-fiber or glass-fiber filled materials?
Yes. Fiber-filled compounds — ABS+GF, ABS+CF, ASA+GF, PETG+GF, PA+CF, PC+CF, and PEI+CF with the high-temperature option — are core applications for the Kings FGF1800. Fiber-filled pellets are widely available as injection-molding granulate, while the same compounds in filament form are expensive or simply not offered. Hardened wear components in the extrusion path handle abrasive fibers; our engineers will recommend the right nozzle configuration for your compound.
Do pellets need drying before printing?
Yes — the same moisture rules as filament apply, and hygroscopic polymers (PA, PC, PETG) must be dried to the resin maker's spec before printing on the Kings FGF1800. The 50 kg hopper with integrated pneumatic feeding is designed to work in line with a granulate dryer, the standard setup in injection-molding shops; an optional 100 kg dryer is available. We'll spec a drying workflow for your material as part of installation and training.
What surface finish and detail should I expect from large-format FGF?
Plan for visible layer lines and post-machining on mating surfaces — the Kings FGF1800 is engineered for structural large-format parts, not consumer-grade cosmetics. Bead geometry depends on the nozzle installed; larger nozzles trade finish for throughput, and the 1–8 mm range lets you choose per application. Typical practice for tooling: print near-net shape, then machine critical faces. If your application needs fine detail under a millimeter, a filament or resin system is the better tool — we'll tell you honestly which.
What infrastructure does the Kings FGF1800 require?
Single-phase 220 V AC power (up to ~13.8 kW rated), compressed air at 0.6 MPa, and floor space for a 1300 kg enclosed cabinet with an 1800×1200×1100 mm build platform plus material handling. The working surface runs up to 120°C on a magnetic platform or tempered glass; chamber heating is available as an option for high-shrinkage engineering polymers. Connectivity is SD, USB, and WiFi with STL, OBJ, AMF, 3MF, STP, and STEP support. We confirm site requirements before shipment as part of every Kings FGF1800 installation.
