Wild Card Week


In this assignment I designed a 3D Clothes, basically print a symmetrical design in a cloth and a concept of 3D MDF wallet.

Printing on cloth (tulle)

The 3D pattern was sliced in Cura software.

Then, printed in Artillery Genius 3D Printer over the cloth.

The first to do is put the cloth in the bed platform and adjust it.

For security reasons, set the speed to 25 mm/sec in printer parameters

The hex pattern was successfully printed on the cloth.

MDF Wallet

This MDF wallet was designed in Autocad software. A DXF file was generated, so then I used RDWORKS software to do the cuts. 

Set laser cut parameters.

 In this case for 3mm MDF, I set 30% power and 30% speed.

This is the final result.

Problems and solutions

  • In this assignment we had the challenge of making a 3D print on fabric, specifically tulle fabric. 
  • The first problem that was had was that the printing was not done correctly, the fabric moved or there was no precision. I fixed it by fixing on both sides with some fasteners. 
  • Another problem that was observed was that after some time there was a lot of material out of the nozzle. I solved it by tightening the fabric a bit and lowering the printing speed from 50mm/s to 25mm/s. Which gave me very good results. I also enabled the Z retraction parameter and with this the task could be carried out successfully.
