3D printing¶
For this assignment, I decided to model and print a pulley for my MakerFight robot. It will be a T5 pulley with 20 teeth.
3D Modeling¶
I used Fusion 360 to model my part. You can see it below :
After that I exported my part into CURA to print it.
Here you can find the source file STL.

Parameters for the print¶
To do my print, I will use the parameters below into Cura 3.2.1. I used black PLA in 2,85mm. The printing time will be of 54 min.
