HOW TO USE THE BCN 3D

14 - 19

HOW TO USE THE FELIX 2.0

Felix 2.0

The second machine we used was the Felix 2.0 printer that uses the program: Repetier Host for Felix Printers. Click on the + icon to upload our file

We look for our .stl file

In Felix 2.0 the file was loaded also rotated

With the rotate icon on the left side bar I can place my object horizontally.

In the menu "slice" we will put the settings. Speed 40 / infill 40

Click on the "connect" button to send the order to the printer.

In the menu "manual control" we have to locate the o,o coordinate in the x axis because the machine has an error.

In the "slice" menu click the "slice with curaEngine" button to calculate the printing time.

The estimated time as well as the number of layers appears on the screen.

The machine will have to heat to 200 ° to start printing

And first the machine makes an outer edge

The machine printing the base. Final object, it can be observed that the 3D BCN has better resolution and its finish is thinner

12 - 13

HOW TO USE THE MAKERBOT

The last machine we used was the MakerBot (The LabForms machine is not working)

In the setting menu we will place the values: Layer Height 2mm / Infill 40% / Extrude Temperature 200 °

In the "add files" menu select the .stl file

The object appeared also rotated.

But we changed the rotations using the menu.

The following is to accommodate the object where you want to print.

With the "preview" button we can calculate the time it will take to print that object.

We were waiting during the process.

We put the PLA roll

We waited for the machine to warm

But as we see, the impression started very poorly

We had to raise the temperature to 230 °

Gonzalo, our Fab Academy instructor, decided to change the adhesion tape and once the platform was leveled the printing came out without problems.
