LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE: 0%
1. First I experimented a little bit with Rhino. I have never used this program before. I found it a little bit difficult to use compared to SketchUp. I´m guessing it´s normal.
2. I started to print some of the part for my final project, I wanted to see if I could 3d print the arms for my drone.
3. My first test was good, I tried with a little support for the Gymbal that will be included in my drone. It was very easy to use the machine.
4. Before starting printing we have to process our 3D files for printing. In this case I used Cura
5. I tried three machines, the Ultimaker 2, the MakerBot, and a home made 3d printing machine from one of my friends.
6. I saved the Gcode file I generated in Cura to the SD card, the put the card on the machine and navigate to the print from sd option, and finally select it and click ok. The machine will start preheating and you are done, your print will start.
7. Be there when the machine starts the printing process, if there’s any issue it will appear at this moment most of the times, if everything is alright after the 4th - 6th pass you can leave the machine printing and do something else, just come back regularly to check.
final project
