Our 3d printer based on the Prusa i3 design.
Specifications
- Maximum print sizes: 170mm, 170mm, "a lot" (x,y,z). However the printing will suffer from "warping" much before those limits are reached.
- Minimal print resolution: ?, ?, ? (x, y z).
- Extruder nozzle size: 0.35mm
- It can print overhangs of <45degrees without scaffolding.
Printing supplies
- 3mm PLA (hard and britle, doesn't warp much, biodigradable)
- 3mm ABS (soft and tough - LEGO like plastic, warps much more the PLA)
Printer settings
Settings for the printer depend on the kind of filament.
PLA
- Bed temperature: 60
- Extruder temperature: 185
ABS
- Bed temperature: 110 (but it seems the bed doesn't seem to reach that at the moment)
- Extrude temperature: 215
Toolchain
- Make or download 3d objects in STL format.
- The slicer software (Slic3r) will generate the actual printer commands (G-code). This .gcode file is loaded into the next stage. Sometimes the slicer complains (even if blender finds no problems with the model). To fix it use the following magic webservice: curl --data-binary @orig.stl stlfix.jit.su -o fixed.stl (this is an interface to cloud.netfabb.com )
- Load the .gcode file into the printer software and print.
