and software. These printers utilize Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to automatically detect the type of filament loaded, including Ultimaker PLA filament. Thelatest version of Cura, UltiMaker's slicing software, includes specially optimized profiles that synchronize perfectly with this filament....
Furthermore, SEM was used to observe the composite filament and scaffold. The surface and cross section of the filament materials in the PLA group was smooth, while the surface of the PLA + 50% n-HA group was rough (Figure 4a–d). The surface of the scaffold was similar to that of ...
Glad to know it isn't just me. I bought a hardened nozzle to see if it helps with this filament. The couple of things I have printed look amazing. It does make me wonder if it would work better with a .6mm nozzle. Once I finish my current printing project, I'm going to do some...
We hope that from today on we’re able to provide an attractive alternative for some of your projects with this filament. Ok, so tell me more about this ‘Tough PLA’! Tough PLA has a much higher impact strength compared to PLA. With its properties, delamination and warping don’t have...
While you are waiting for the chocolate to cool, you can start printing your candy trays. If you don't have a 3D printer, you will need to plan for this or do with out the trays. Print with PLA filament. Again, the STL files would not upload to Instructables.Here is the link to ...
PLA; fused filament fabrication; thermal and mechanical properties; ageing; freezing; desiccant1. Introduction PLA is the most common polymeric material found in the additive manufacturing industry, and it is printed via the material thermal extrusion process or material extrusion [1,2,3,4,5]. ...
For the first time, the double electrical percolation threshold was obtained in polylactide (PLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)/graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) composite systems, prepared by compression moulding and fused filament fabrication (FFF). Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscop...
Extrusion is often applied to produce nanocomposites pellets, which are further processed by employing melt filament technique to produce nanocomposite fibers and the morphology of the fibers is found to depend on the content of the CNMs and their functionalization as shown in Figure 4 [70]. ...
(processing step 2) by a twin screw. The temperatures in different zones were set at 150 °C, 165 °C, 170 °C, 175 °C, and 175 °C, with the die temperature at 160 °C and a rotation speed of 50 rpm. The obtained filament strips were pelletized, dried at 80 °C for 6 h,...
