Kilncare Hobbyfuser
Kilncare Hobbyfuser GEN4 Glass Kiln – Plug-In Kiln for Glass Fusing & Slumping
A professional-grade, plug-in glass kiln designed for fusing, slumping, and kilnformed glass work, offering fast response, clean firing, and precise temperature control.
The Kilncare Hobbyfuser GEN4 Glass Kiln is a high-performance kiln designed for serious glass artists who require precision, reliability, and clean firing results in a compact, plug-in format. Suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners, the Hobbyfuser GEN4 delivers professional performance without the need for specialist electrical installation.
Powered by a standard 13 amp plug, the Hobbyfuser GEN4 reaches critical fusing temperatures quickly and efficiently. The kiln is capable of rapid temperature response, moving from 700°C to 800°C in approximately 9–11 minutes, allowing precise control over firing schedules and repeatable results for detailed glass work.
Heating is provided by roof-mounted quartz tube elements, delivering even heat distribution across the chamber while remaining easy and affordable to replace. The kiln’s hydraulically compressed non-ceramic fibre lid, encased in stainless steel, offers excellent insulation, shock resistance, and prevents fibre contamination—ensuring clean glass surfaces after firing.
A recessed base increases usable internal height, making the Hobbyfuser GEN4 suitable for thicker projects, slumping moulds, and drop-out work. Accurate temperature control is supported by a fast-response stainless steel thermocouple, providing rapid feedback to the controller for precise firing adjustments.
The kiln’s stainless steel body and gas-sprung lid system ensure durability and smooth operation, while a rear roof vent allows efficient air release during firing and faster cooling, further reducing the risk of surface contamination on glass pieces.
Supplied with the KCR32C digital controller, the Hobbyfuser GEN4 offers reliable temperature management with the option to upgrade to Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling remote monitoring and control via the Kilncare GATEway.
Backed by a 4-year manufacturer guarantee on all parts, including elements, the Hobbyfuser GEN4 is built for long-term use and dependable performance in glass studios.
