Week 5: Additive Manufacturing
We started off exploring the 3D-printers by using a file from the internet.
This print turned our fine. There was no need to interrupt the printer, good start of the week:
Warp: Bended and connected on the top.
2. Overhang: Turned out OK, the layers in the overhang ended up more rough at the most sloping ones tho.
3. Spike: Details of the spike were not as visable as we hoped.
4. Pyramide: The pyramide ended up better than the spike, all good.
5. Rounded print: Rounding in the middle turned out smoothly.
6. Nut: The nut had almost the exact measurements that was shown in the 3d model.
7. Star: Does have sharp edges
8. Text: Turned out less wide than expected, but still readable.
9. Hole size: Smaller than they should be; a difference of about 0,3mm.
10. Minimum distance: The distance of the cuts are a little smaller than they should be. The printer also rounded the edges at the end of the print, instead of making them square.
11. Sphere: The sphere turned out great.
12. Minimum walls: It is clear where the printer started printing. The line starts rounded on the left of the print.
13. Wave: The wave turned out fine. The ultimaker printer prints rounded shapes/waves better than straight ones.
14. Bridge print: Has been printed without support. The filament is printed in the air at this point between the bridges. Smallest and longest bridge point are equal.
15. Surface: The surface is flat, not smooth tho.
16. 3D print font: Did not merge. The numbers are readable, only the holes of the 6 & 8 were a small problem.
17. Hole: Did not fall flat. The hole was 0.2mm thinner than it should have been.
18. Z-height: The difference between the steps were accurate. The ultimaker/printer made a layer around the entire print, so it we were not able tell if the first step turned out the way it should
