Five common mistakes of 3d big printer size printing design
1. The 3D model file does not match the selected printing consumables
The performance of each printing consumable is different. Some are fragile, some are strong, some are soft, some are hard, some are smooth and some are rough, some are dense, some are low, and so on. So after deciding to use the 3D printing process to produce the product, the ideal situation is that you have already figured out what consumables you will use to print the object before drawing the 3D model artwork. For example, if you want to use ceramic 3D printing, you can conceive in advance the supporting suspension structure that must be used in the printing according to the characteristics of ceramic 3D printing, and design suitable reinforcement elements for the prominent part of the appearance, as well as suitable corners. Design etc.
Please be aware that the printing materials you use have determined that you must follow the characteristics of the 3D model suitable for this material. If these characteristics are not met, it is easy to have defects and problems during actual printing, or even impossible to print at all. Happening.
Every 3D printing material is different. Please read the corresponding material guide before choosing your print material.
Solution: Please make your 3d printer kit model strictly according to the design features of the consumables you selected. It is best to read the design guide of the corresponding material before you start building the model. If you are not sure which printing consumables you want to use, you can always consult our material guide page.
2. The 3D model file does not match the selected printing process
In 3D printing, not only the characteristics of consumables are different, but there are also many printing processes. Different printing processes also represent different requirements for printing objects. For example: when printing ABS, PLA, aluminum alloy or rubber-like materials, you can print a 3D model with an interlocking structure, but when printing gold, silver, copper, resin, high-precision and high-toughness ABS, you cannot print with Model of interlocking structure. The reason has nothing to do with the characteristics of the consumables, but because of the different printing processes used.
For ABS and PLA filaments, we use a technology called FDM for 3D printing. It supports dual nozzles and can use other types of consumables as supporting materials for printing, so you can print some interlocking structures. For aluminum alloy and rubber-like materials, we use a technology called SLS for 3d machine printer printing. Because it is a powder-based printing method, interlocking structures can be printed without supporting materials. For precious metals, we must use the lost wax method, so we can’t make interlocking structures. For the printing of resin and high-precision, high-toughness ABS, we use a liquid-based 3D printing technology called SLA, which cannot generate interlock Supportive.
