The gcode will instructs the 3D printer on where to move the print head to, how fast to move it, and what path to follow. A slicing software convert your STL (or OBJ) file into gcode. Slicing software : "Cura" is Ultimaker’s slicing software, that will prepare your 3D model file for printing with Ultimaker 2+ 3D printer. Printing line-by-line and layer-by-layer forming the shape of the 3D model that you want to print. The semi-liquid plastic is then forced out of the print nozzel which is around 0.4mm in diameter and onto the printbed. The filament which is in-turn melted to a temperature of between 170 degree celcius to 220 degree celcius, depend on the filament material used. 2.85mm diameter) which is then fed to the thermal hot end. The filament driver pull in the filament (eg. Design rules refers to a series of parameter that allow the designer to test the correctness/accuracy of his/her 3D printed object.Įxtruder : Same as other typical 3D printer, Ultimaker 2+ has an extruder which consist of a filament driver and a thermal hot end. Example what are the "design rules" of what the 3D printer can or cannot achieve.
This is the first time I am using the Ultimaker series of 3D printer.Įach time when we use a different brand/model of a 3D printer, it is a good practice to test and understand the capabilties of that 3D printer. I am using the Ultimaker 2+ 3D printer in the Fab Lab at T1442 in Singapore Polytechnic campus.
