Conclusions
This exercise was very useful to understand the limitations of our 3D printing machine. Even thought the result was satisfactory, we realized that some pieces have poor quality In the bottom because of their inclination angle and distance from the overhang without supports.
3D printing is a vast field, and there is a lot of information on the internet, including tutorials, guides, live channels, etc. However, I have learned much more from hands-on experience and advices from my colleagues than from digital platforms.
