Keep in mind when 3D printing that the digital version of your design will have to deal with the laws of physics when it comes out of your 3D printer's nozzle. The Importance of the Right Modeling Mindset - A tangled print of a 'T' shaped overhang succumbing to the punishing power ...
This Instructable summarises the design, build, and calibration phases of creating a custom 3D printer by outlining the key design decisions I made throughout the process. It is written to aid you in the design and build of your own printer. I have included config files and macros for Repr...
Print success – by design Take a deep dive into the world of design for additive manufacturing. Within this guide, you’ll learn the modeling tips and tricks that we use to maximize our 3D printing output and success. What you will learn ...
How do you use a 3D printer step by step? Many different technologies share the same basic steps which we’ll cover next, but each 3D printer can also be easier or harder to use depending on its features. Step 1 – Prepare your design for 3D printing By this point, it’s important ...
Nozzle size affects 3D printer tolerances Remove sharp corners to prevent warping Cad Crowd’s 3D modeling services can design models for 3D printing Stick to the 45-degree rule The addition of support structures can quickly solve the issue of overhanging features. But most3D printing design servic...
A desktop FDM 3D printer may warp your design and lift it off of the print plate, so you should allow a larger tolerance of 1.5-2 mm to ensure that the PCB will still fit inside even if the walls are somewhat distorted. Read our in-depth guide about FDM vs. SLA 3D printersto learn...
How do you design for FDM printing? To achieve the best results, keep FDM’s capabilities and constraints in mind when designing a part for FDM printing. Bridging Bridging in FDM occurs when the printer is required to print between two supports or anchor points. Because there is nothing to ...
