3d Printing group assignment @FabLab CEPT
Exploring the limits of the Ultimaker 2+
For this week's group assignment, we downloaded a test file from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:704409 to test the limits of our 3d printer Ultimaker 2+.
The first step was to export the files as .stl and import it into Cura
We included the following settings :
Layer height = 0.15 mm
Wall thickness = 0.7mm
Infill density = 33 %
Print Speed = 45 mm/s
Travel speed = 150 mm/s
After the settings were done, we loaded the file on Ultimaker 2+ and started the printing process. Following are some images of the same.
Once the print was ready, we measured the dimensions of the printed object and made the following observations :
Object
1. base dimension =
2. M4 hexagon diameter =
3. Height of cylinder =
4. Hole 1 =
5. Hole 2 =
6. Hole 3 =
7. Slit 1 =
8. Slit 2 =
9. Sllit 3 =
10. Slit 4 =
11. Slit 5 =
