5. 3D Scanning and Printing¶

This week I worked on 3D printing for the first time even though I was worried that I might damage the 3D printer. I have had these machines for a while but I will use it with the demo models that was saved in the printer storage. So first of all I needed to learn about my 3D printers before getting to work with them.

I have a BambuLab X1 Carbon, Dremel 3D45, and BambuLab P1S. The first two are the only ones that are working properly.

These are the specifications based on the information provided on their websites:

3D Printers Testing¶

Bambu Lab & Dremel 3D45 Printers testing:¶

All in one test

All in one Test¶

Then I did the all in onee test for my Dremel 3D45, I downloaded a file through this link

Then I used Orca Slicer to do the temperature test

To be able to do the test on Bambu Lab I had to take the stl file to Bambu Studio so I can connect to the 3D printer without having to log out and log back in every 20 minutes.

When I started slicing I got this error alt text

So I went to chatgpt and I uploaded the image above and it suggested that I do the following:

Speed Test¶

I downloaded the file for the speed test as I tried the built in file on Orca but it didn’t work well for the Dremel.

This was the first time I made the test and it was a mistake

Individual Assignment¶

I designed a sphere inside a cube as this was something new for me to learn especially about using the revolve attribute as I have never used it before.

I followed a tutorial on youtube alt text
