The 1st Print - Moai Statue
Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2016 12:40 pm
The first print after the dimensional calibration of my 2nd home made delta printer (OPTIMUS-4G) which is completely different design then my 1st delta printer (DELTA-1). I am getting harmonic patters (serrations/ridges) on the print surface. Though i am printing each layer with 0.2mm resolution which must be a fine surface. The ridges degraded the quality of the print and it seems that i am printing with 1mm resolution which is not the case. This is due to the vibrations due to high acceleration/deceleration and moment of inertia of the effector plate.I shall soon overcome this by stiffening the printer. I have discussed the problem in the video being uploaded.
