Document Summary
Gcm 750 | week 3 - getting to good 3d prints. I. e. use 100% for a thin wall cookie cutter. Use greater fill if the product might be crushed i. e. legs of a table. There is a vase mode for use if the 3d model is a vase, cup, etc. Since infill takes up the space inside a print, it makes sense that infill designed for structure works better than infill designed for aesthetics. In this case, patterns incorporating grids, honeycombs as well as rectilinear or diamond patterns work best. Brass is the standard (inexpensive) easily worn out. Ruby tipped, better wear, significantly more expensive. Nozzle diameters generally range from 0. 1 mm all the way up to 1. 0 mm. This gives great flexibility in choosing a nozzle. When selecting a 3d printing nozzle, it"s all about balancing how much filament is extruded and how fast.
