# Overview of 3D Scanning and Printing 1. Test the design rules for your 3D printer(s) 2. Document your work and explain what are the limits of your printer(s) (in a group or individually) 3. Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned -------------------- ## Foreword Our team had referenced 1. [FabAcademy SP 2020 Group assignment](http://fabacademy.org/2020/labs/singapore/group.assignments/assignment03.html) <br> 2. [FabAcademy Kannai 2022](https://fabacademy.org/2022/labs/kannai/Weekly_Group_Assignments/week05/) <br> 3. [FabAcademy Nadieh 2021](http://fabacademy.org/2021/labs/waag/students/nadieh-bremer/blog/week-5/) <br> -------------------- ## Task I. Test Design Rules for Ender 3 v2 ### The Machine - Ender 3 V2 <img src="https://www.creality3dofficial.com/files/goods/ender-3-V2-01.jpg" width="480" /> <p><strong>Technical Specifications (</strong>Ender-3 V2 FDM 3D Printer Properties)</p> | Technical Specification | Details | |-------------------------|-----------------------------------| | Modeling Technology | FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling) | | Printing Size | 220x220x250mm | | Filament | PLA/TPU/PETG | | Working Mode | Online or SD card offline | | Supported OS | MAC/Windows10 | | Filament Diameter | 1.75mm | | Slicing Software | PrusaSlicer/Cura | | Machine Size | 475x470x620mm | | Product Weight | 7.8KG | | Package Weight | 9.6KG | | Power Supply | Input AC 230V; Output DC 24V 270W | | Layer Thickness | 0.1-0.4mm | | Print Precision | ±0.1mm | | Hotbed Temperature | ≤100° | ---------------------------------------- ### Design Limitations Test <img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/f7/1a/f0/ef/41/977cb044104b7f4fc925bdf426fb52db_preview_featured.jpg" width="480" /> The part was sliced with Cura 4.12 and Ender 3 V2's default slicer profile. <img src="./ctrlv_test.jpg" width="720" /> Picture above is the Torture test designed by ctrlV and posted in [Thingiverse.](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1363023) We 3D printed the part and below are our findings. Below is picture of our 3D printed part after removing some stringing. <img src="./Curve.jpeg" width="480" /> <img src="./Pointy.jpeg" width="480" /> <img src="./ScrewPrint.jpeg" width="480" /> <img src="./ThinWalls.jpeg" width="480" /> <br><br> <p><strong>Our Findings (</strong>Ender-3 V2 FDM 3D Printer Properties)</p> | Name | Technical Specifications | |---------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------| | M3 & M4 Nut | Our nut fit. | | Wave | rounded print | | Star | Sharp Edges looks distinct | | Bridge Print | Looks good up to 16 mm print | | Overhang | Looks good up to 70° | | Warp | No warpping | | Z Height | 0.1mm may not be printed well. 0.2mm is good | | Minimum Distance between walls | >0.4mm will have good prints | | Print Precision according to specs | ±0.1mm | | Hotbed Temperature according to specs | ≤100° |
