Group assignment

Design rule test of 3D printer

Bridging Test

Angel test

Overhang test

Wall Thickness test

Clearance test

3D printer: Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D printer and the Automatic Material System (AMS) Lite.

Bridging Test- All bridges from 2mm - 20 mm are good enough.

Angel test- Angles from 90° to 20° lookd good, but 10° slightly “spaghetti”,and 0° heavily and obviously “spaghetti”.

Wall Thickness test-the minimum printable thickness is 0.4mm

Clearance test- 0.1 and 0.2 clearance cannot move freely

Individual assignment

3D printing - Cup

Following the tutorial to make a cup

Step 1 draw the 2D diagram as below with dimension

Step 2 use the tool to rotate

Step 3 make the handle with constraint as below

Cut the extra line

Draw a ellipse as below

Use the sweep as the sketch 2, make the handle

On shape 3D file:

STL file: cup-3D-priting.stl

3D Printing with Bambu :

Step 1 Download Bambustudio, and login

Step 2 import or drage the 3D print file, followed the defaulted setting

Step3 Slice plate checking if need support, fot this cup, need to add some “support”

Step4 click print plate to start, but found the printer not connected

Step 5 connect the printer
