3D printing with the MakerBot Replicator Z18 1”:600’

[analogue-system]

my friend has a MakerBot Replicator that she's using to make something for a VFD (I gave her one of my many many VFDs I have acquired from Jaycar)

[elk-and-thearchivist]

Ny'all remember how I Blender'd and 3D printed Elk ages ago? Well, I finally got around to sanding and painting them! I got... very lazy, but all considered, I'm still very happy with how they turned out!

Storia delle stampanti 3D

Tutti sappiamo in linea generale come funziona una stampante 3D, e a cosa serve ma,vi siete mai domandati qual è stato il percorso di evoluzione che ha subito questa macchina per arrivare ad avere l’aspetto e le funzionalità che ha adesso?

Ebbene, in questo post vi spiegherò quali sono stati i passaggi storici che hanno portato all’evoluzione della stampa 3D fino ad arrivare ai giorni nostri.

La nascita della stampa 3D risale al 1984 quando l’ingegnere Chuck Hull brevetta un nuovo metodo di stampa non più basato sul bidimensionale ma centrato interamente sulla creazione di oggetti. Questa idea innovativa riscosse fin da subito un gran successo e gli permise di poter,due anni dopo nel 1986,fondare la 3D Systems , la prima azienda di stampa 3D nel mondo.

In quegli anni vennero brevettate una serie di tecnologie che riguardano la stampa 3D, tra queste la tecnologia FDM o FFF ovvero una tecnologia che si basa sulla formazione di oggetti per fusione di un filamento.

Nel 2004 il professore di meccanica dell’università di Bath, Adrian Bowyer, inizia ad interessarsi alla possibilità di poter creare oggetti anche da casa propria con l’utilizzo di una macchina specializzata. Nel 2005 il brevetto FDM scade. Passato 1 anno e non avendo trovato qualcuno che avesse intenzione di aiutarlo con il suo progetto,Adrian Bowyer, decide di creare lui stesso una macchina , la RepRap la quale deve costare poco e ha la possibilità di auto replicarsi.

Le informazioni per costruire la macchina vengono descritte dettagliatamente nel sito della RepRap . A partire della RepRap nascono tutta una serie di esperimenti condotti da privati per la replica di queste macchine. Alcune aziende si interessano al progetto e iniziano a produrre e vendere le stampanti per un costo pari ad paio di centinaia di euro.

Nel 2007,qualche hanno dopo a New York si ritrovano tre ragazzi, Bre Pettis , Adam Mayer, Zach Smith, i quali decidono di aprire un HackerSpace dal nome “NewYorkCity Resistor” un luogo in cui gli hacker possono incontrarsi e collaborare. Uno di questi ragazzi era stato in Inghilterra ed aveva collaborato con Adrian Bowyer per la costruzione della RepRap e convince i suoi colleghi ad aiutarlo a poter migliorare questa macchina e renderla più semplice da montare. 

I tre ragazzi ci riescono e costruiscono la Cupcake CNC rendendo opensource tutte le informazioni riguardanti la sua costruzione. Nel 2009 presentano il loro progetto il loro ad una fiera che si tiene ad Austin e riscuoto un grossissimo successo ricevendo più di 3500 ordini dai loro clienti che contribuiscono al miglioramento del loro progetto e alla fondazione di una loro società chiamata MakerBot.

Nel 2013 la Stratasys acquista la MakerBot per 607 milioni di dollari rimanendo ancora oggi la miglior società nel campo della stampa 3D nel mondo.

I 3D printed Elk!!! Using the model I made in Blender a while ago.

It took me three tries and many hours but they're alive and I'm so happy

I might try to sand, smooth, and paint them later... but probably not for a while.

My babies

(VMMM Summer 2015) by Janae Lisa Odenat

[fluffy-critter]

So, I’ve had a Makerbot Replicator Duo since late 2012; I bought it used at a significant discount (“only” $1200!) and it’s served me pretty okay. But over time, better, cheaper printers have come along, and my Replicator has gotten pretty unreliable. Actually it’s been pretty much hobbling along for the last several years:

The heated print bed stopped heating, due to it shorting out due to a well-known design flaw in the print bed connector1

One of the last firmware updates made it only compatible with Makerbot’s own proprietary software, which was very soon discontinued to upsell newer Makerbot versions

The left extruder stopped working at some point; the right extruder barely works

The hot end really needs new nozzles but the design is such that replacing the nozzle is very easy to crossthread/ruin the hot end2

And really it’s never been all that great, it was just pretty much the only game in town when I bought it

So anyway, yeah, this upgrade is long-overdue.

MakerBot Releases Method X With 'Genuine ABS' 3D Printing

A year ago, MakerBot appeared to have rejected its recorded work area 3D-printing innovation and began without any preparation to make something all the more dominant and dependable with the Method 3D printer. Presently, the Stratasys auxiliary is adopting the normal strategy and adding an overhauled framework to the Method line with the Method X.

The MakerBot Method X 3D printer can print with ABS and dissolvable backings. (Picture obligingness of MakerBot.)

Engineering.com addressed Dave Veisz, VP of Engineering, and Johan-Till Broer, VP of Product Development, about the new item and how it varies from the Method.

Genuine ABS

Website Design Services The greatest improvement of the Method over MakerBot's past Replicator arrangement was its warmed form chamber equipped for coming to up to 60°C. This element is related with a Stratasys patent that most work area 3D-printer producers are too hesitant to even consider touching regardless of whether it means improved printability and materials determination.

The Method X kicks the chamber temperature up to 100°C with the goal that it can't just print the PLA, PETG, Tough PLA and PVA (solvent help) of the Method, yet it can likewise print ABS and SR-30 (dissolvable help) found in mechanical expulsion innovation. ABS is one of the most predominant thermoplastics found in buyer merchandise because of its high warm obstruction.

Veisz clarified that this warm obstruction makes it hard to 3D print with, which is the reason most work area 3D printers really print with a type of ABS that has been "improved for 3D printing." An effect modifier or plasticizer, which brings down the warmth diversion temperature of the material, may be added to the ABS so it very well may be printed all the more effectively. This, in any case, adversy affects the firmness, quality and warm properties of the plastic, degrading its expected reason.

Veisz depicted how most printers handle ABS: "When you're printing ABS on a warmed form plate, it will cling to the warmed form plate since you normally set the temperature of the warmed form plate to directly around the glass change temperature of the material.But at that point, as your assemble goes higher, your expelling it into a cooler environment.The material cools quickly, and that makes the ABS contract."

As the ABS shrivels, delamination happens, with layers of ABS stripping off of past layers and causing huge even splits in a section. Strategy X, be that as it may, highlights a powerful recycling broiler.

"A pad of air is recycled at the fabricate plane, instead of simply the assemble plate," Veisz said."That implies each layer we put down is liable to a similar situation, up to 100°C, which takes into consideration great, extremely favorable layer adhesion.It additionally gives the ABS a chance to cool gradually, which allows it to unwind and not twist."

End-Use Parts

While the Method 3D printer was focused on principally for prototyping and instructive purposes, the Method X is depicted as being reasonable for creating assembling devices, for example, dances and installations, just as end parts.

Since the Method X is fundamentally a move up to the Method, it includes the equivalent dimensional exactness: "± 0.2mmor ± 0.002mm per mm of movement (whichever is more prominent)." The capacity to utilize ABS, PLA, PETG and Tough PLA enables the framework to print more grounded parts.
