Additive Manufacturing
Hard and Software
I am now the proud owner of a Prusa Core One printer. This is a core XY enclosed printer. So far I am delighted with the results. I can print PLA, PETG, CF-reinforced filament, ABS, and PTU. Prusa slicer is my software of choise for generating the gcode files.
Designing in 3D
I design my 3D models on Autodesk Fusion 360.
Printing
This part is very often under estimated by people interested in 3D printing. It is not only about getting a printer and desinging the model, printing itself, is rather complex. You need to consider temperatures, print speeds, filament feed rates, infill geometries, layer and wall thickness and of course if and where supports are needed.
