Group Assignment – 3D Scanning and Printing
General objective (group assignment):
Group assignment:
- Test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)
- Document your work and explain what are the limits of your printer(s) (in a group or individually)
- Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned
Individual assignment:
- Design and 3D print an object (small, few cm3, limited by printer time) that could not be easily made subtractively
- 3D scan an object, try to prepare it for printing (and optionally print it)

Development
For this assignment we use the all-in-one file from the page: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2656594/files

We place the object on the printing area of the machine
We assign the type of material that in this case we use PLA plastic, in addition to:
Box height: 0.20
nozzle temperature: 200 °C
bed temperature:60 °C
filling density: 15%

We assign the speed and quality of printing in addition to the placement of the support material

We send the file to print

As a conclusion, we observe that after 50° of inclination, the material begins to weaken, the holes are made correctly, but the tubes with thin walls lose a bit of quality. The thinner and taller posts lose quality and hardness.
