slowly) or a model that can be achieved at
higher speed. Another important parameter
is the flow rate that percentage increases or
decreases the amount of material extruded,
compensating for any changes in the
diameter of the wire than that stated by the
manufacturer. The flow rate can also thicken
or thin the walls of the model.
The “Fan Speed” voice makes it possible to
adjust the airflow on the piece in print.
DETACHING THE 3D
PRINTED OBJECT
Finished your print, Arduino Materia
101 put the printing plate down and
park your extruder. In this location
there is easy access to print plan to
detach from it the finished object.
This operation is delicate and inevitable:
because the object is printed, it is
necessary that its first layer adheres well
and remains clinging to the plane for the
duration of the print itself. If there was
a good seal, mechanical stress and just a
little bit of shock on the extruder would
jump away, ruining irreparably printing.
Detach the model thus requires
a certain expertise, a thin spatula
or large blade cutter. (Fig. 2).
Remember to place the maximum attention
during the proceedings: we recommend
wearing protective gloves to avoid cut
with the blade or the glass plate.
In both cases you have to try to insert
the blade of a few millimetres under
one side of the printed piece, then with
horizontal movement, without trying to
lift the piece, you need to sink the blade
toward the opposite side. Usually the piece
blows away without too much force and
without that we must arrive on the other
side. If the model has thin legs or parts you
are looking for before you remove these
without lift and then pull out the part with
the broadest support. In this way you will
avoid to break the thin parts. In the case of
vessels or parts with a single wide base, start
on one side, trying to insert the blade more in
depth, but did not push directly, but with an
oscillatory movement to advance the blade.
As advice, avoid using the same piece
as an element to force (pulling) or lever
(it) because it could break. If the printed
object has a high surface you can remove
the Print plate and place it under warm
water, allowing the dissolution of Hairspray
and a detachment of the piece easier.
Remember that just finished printing might
have the printing plate and definitely
the extruder temperatures. The extruder
solid brass remains for several minutes at
temperatures sufficient to cause a burn.
look at the temperature on the display
and absolutely avoid any contact with
it if the value indicated is higher than
50 degrees. If in doubt, do not detach
the piece until the temperature has
dropped to safe levels before you put
your hands inside the printing area.
