The process
I am using 3D printers for over 6 years, I learned many things from youtube and trial and error. I was confritable going through this weeks assignment
Group assignment
Musaed AlKout is the one who had The full process documneted in details, I will cover some highlights in my page.
01: 3D printer's design rules
01| from Makers world website I searched for the Test Pronts of Bambo A1 3 D printer
02| The outcome was satisfiying
03| the A1 is able to print angle up to 60 degrees. the design looking mashed above 75 degrees
04| and hanged brindges but to 24 mm can be built nicly without suppot
- Feedback: I usually used Photoshop to fix or change raster images or adding channels to the picture.
- Challenge: Resizing raster images in not a fun thing to experince
Individual assignment:
For this assignment, I will be designing and printing and object that I need to WRO, particularly a prototype of a trophy that I will be giving ou parners and sponsors as a gift and appreciation.
01: Previous 3D designs
01 | 3D design of a sponsor black
02| 3D print of a sponsor black
01 | 3D design of a building unit
02| 3D print of a building unit
01 | 3D design of a gears for conveing prototype
02| 3D print of a gears for conveing prototype
01: Design 3D object and print
As I'm progressing in the projcts, the design is getting simpler .. after my expeince creating sholder pad from cardboard, I though of making it event simpler .. a clip on decive that can be connected to anything we wear .. it can be with clip or magnit. This is hhow I designed it.
01| I designed a box, a cover with an attembt of a clip which when I lock at now I see how illogocal it was :p, with a small pockets for the magnet.
02| The Bambo Studion recomended a print at a 45 degree to use less support
03| By mistake, while I was taking this picture, I hit the pasue button on the screen.
04| I resumed the design immediatly but the box was not printed correctly.
05| The shape of the box had been distrocted.
06| The shape of the box had been distrocted.
07| The shape of the box had been distrocted.
08| The shape of the box had been distrocted.
09| The shape of the box had been distrocted.
10| The size is generally good but I might change the depth of the box and alige peices inside in a better way.
- Feedback: it feels good to see my idea come to life and eventhough i need to work more on the design, I feel i'm on the write track.
- Challenge: The magnic should be strong to cary the wight of the boc with all part in it
03: 3D scan an object
01| i used Revo Point camera for this assignmnet
02| I first connected the cables to the camera, turn table and the PC
03| Then I open Revo Studio App to start the process
04| I selected Benchy Boat as an item to be scanned
05| I fized the distance beterrn the turn table and camera as well as the angle of the camer
06| my target is to reach an indicator of google to excellent distance and object clearity
07| I turned the color scanning to make sure the color of the object be taken in consideration and the camrera started to flash
08| then I strated the scanning process and the camera strted to build on rendering frames as the turn table kept rotating the object.
09| while I was doing this assignment, my suaghter came in the room and she accedently hit the table, moving the object and camera and the resndered 3D shape was compremised after nearly 6000 rendered frams
10| as a second trial, I chose once of her toys to be the object as it also had fewer cavities and would be easier to render.
11| first I fixed the distandce between the object on the turn table and the camera angle
12| turned on the color scanning
13| and after 1900 rendered frams, when I saw the object complmeted, I stopped the scan
14| As I truned the shape, I saw some holes
15| before filling them, I meshed the shape to create clearer surfaces
16| here I started to fill in the holes by first selecting them as I kep turning the object in all directions
17| I then exported the file as STL file to import it to Bambo Studio and prepare it from printing
17| I then exported the file as OBG file to import it to Bambo Studio and prepare it from printing and keep the colors. a STL file would not keep the colors of the object
18| We fixed the layout of the object
19| after slising and preparing the object to be pprinted, the duration of 12 days was unreasonable and only justified with the need to change filiment and multi color print
- Feedback: it was and interesting process and can be very usudul for reprenting spareparts
- Challenge: the angle of the object, color, and sorrounding will effect the results. and when mishing, we do not have the same control on the object as when designing it
