I’m glad to see that the large amount of time and effort that has gone into the accuracy of the scanning and printing itself has paid off. Here are some measurements that show surprisingly good results, deviating from the ideal dimensions by only hundredths of a millimeter. The printer thus meets the normal print service …
The software and hardware tuning of the printer seems to be entering its final stages. So it’s a good time to try printing some functional parts. In addition to changes in the slicing math, I also tested a new mechanical solution to remove repetitive z-axis artifacts caused by the ball screw. I’m really happy to …
This is the first test print of the year! Changes and improvements of our slicer have finally resulted in an improvement in the surface quality of the parts. But despite this, I am still not satisfied with the surface quality in the z-axis.It seems that both mechanical and another software changes need to be made. …
The winter nights are long and so not only testing but also assembly instructions are moving forward. I’m trying to cover all aspects of build, which is quite time consuming. I hope it will be understandable and the build will be really fun and informative. To be honest – it’s quite an annoying activity, but …
I’d like to continue in the topics related to the optics used in my laser sintering printer. In my last post I have already touched the problematics of the suitable laser sources, described why I choose the laser diodes instead of e.g. CO2 lasers, how does the beam shape look like and how to change …
