Weekly assignment → Test Printer → design as object → Print object → Scan object → print scanned object (optional)
While on the 3D printer test model's page I downloaded the design and took note of all the parameters it intends to test such as:
Bellow is the 3D print test model:
The author also supplies an image for reference when checking the print
Parameter | Results | ||
---|---|---|---|
Mini | Delta | ||
1 | Nut, Size M4 Nut should fit perfectly | Yes | No |
2 | Wave, rounded print | Yes | Yes |
3 | Star, Sharp Edges | Yes | Yes |
4 | Name, Complex Shapes | Yes | Yes |
5 | Holes, Size 3, 4, 5 mm | 2.9, 3.9, 4.9 | 3, 4, 5 mm oval |
6 | minimal Distance: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 mm | 0.1mm not good | 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 not good scale wrong 6.5mm instead of 7mm |
7 | Z height: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1 mm | 0.1mm printed with 0.2 and 1.1 with 1 | Yes |
8 | Wall Thickness: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 mm | did't print 0.1, 0.2 next walls printed as 0.5 until last as 1mm | Yes |
9 | Bridge Print: 2, 4, 8, 16 mm | Printed as 2.85, 3.9, 7.9, 15.8 | Yes |
10 | Sphere, Rounded Print 4.8mm height | 5.1 | Yes |
11 | Sphere Mix, 7 mm height | 7.15 | Yes |
12 | Pyramide, 7 mm height | 6.95 | Yes |
13 | Overhang: 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70° | Yes | Yes |
14 | Warp, does it bend? | no | Yes |
15 | 3D Print Font, optimized for 3D printing | Yes | Yes |
16 | Surface, Flatness | a bit rough | Yes |
17 | Size, 100 x 100mm x 23.83 (10mm width) | 99.45 x 99.8 x 23.2 (10.2 with) | Yes |
18 | Spike, minimum Layer Time, 21 mm height from Bottom (include Baseplate) | 15mm | Yes |
19 | Hole in Wall, 4 mm diameter, check for proper print | Yes | Yes |
20 | Raft Test, raft should be just under the model | didn't test | Yes |
21 | Retract Travel, check retract settings for longer travel | almost no ozzing | Yes |
Conclusion | For a FDM printer I belive the result is very good. The sizes differences are probably due to a PLA shirincage |
The result!
