+ | ===== Material in the 3D-Printing Area ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Ultimaker 2 | ||
+ | * PLA | ||
+ | * ABS | ||
+ | * PETG | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let's talk about 3D-Printers. 3D-Printers are amazing machines, which you can | ||
+ | use to create parts, pieces | ||
+ | here is, is it printable and do you have the right material for it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before starting to print, we should take a look at the printer itself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== The 3D Printer ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you strip down the 3D-printer to the most basic parts, it consist only of | ||
+ | |||
+ | * the nozzle | ||
+ | * the printbed | ||
+ | * filament holder | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Before printing you should always clean the printbed. | ||
+ | - Make sure the printbed is well levelled. | ||
+ | - Every 40 print hours, oil the axes of the printbead. | ||
+ | - Every 100 print hours, clean the filament holder. | ||
+ | - Every 120 print hours, oil the printbed axe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3D-printing has a huge dependency on the room temperature. So if your room has | ||
+ | around 30°C, simply postpone it. You have a 70/30 percent chance, that the | ||
+ | print will simply ends in failure or that he refuses to print. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The same goes of course for a room, which is to cold. Let's say around 10°C. | ||
+ | You would need to change your material settings to get a somewhat good print | ||
+ | and the adjusting will take at least 1 hour. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The ideal room temperature is around 20°C. A printer cover, which leads to a | ||
+ | more stable print room temperature, | ||
+ | the printer posses a print cover, you need to adjust the material settings too. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Filament ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The filament is very important as it is your print material. It's quality | ||
+ | should be conserved as far as possible. We have boxes to stock all the material | ||
+ | which is not used. If you change the material, be sure to put them into one of | ||
+ | these boxes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Depending for which purpose you will print your part, you have to consider the | ||
+ | material attributes. **Example: | ||
+ | down. it will become very though. on the other side it is not very resistant to | ||
+ | water. ABS on the other hand is resistant to water, but difficult to print. | ||
+ | Also it is not very heat resistant. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most suppliers, like [[https:// | ||
+ | information, | ||
+ | attributes of the material. |
