3D Printer
Specs: 7” x 7” x 7” build volume, Prusa MINI+
Materials: PLA, PETG, ABS
Capabilities
- Rapid prototyping - Quick turnaround on functional test parts
- Functional parts - Clips, brackets, housings, and custom fixtures
- Small batch production - Short runs of final or near-final parts
- Complex geometry - Shapes that would be difficult or impossible to machine
Materials I work with
- PLA - General prototyping, dimensional models, low-stress parts. Matte appearance.
- PETG - Stronger parts, better heat resistance, food-safe applications. Glossy appearance.
- ABS - Durable, impact-resistant parts with good heat tolerance. Appropriate for PVC cement bonding.
Process
- Design in Fusion 360
- Slice and optimize print settings in PrusaSlicer
- Print with tuned parameters for the material
- Finishing - support removal, sanding, assembly
