8.0 Supplementary Information
AutoMaker
The included soware package which is used for controlling all
elements of your Robox®, including printing, layout, calibration
and maintenance.
Axis (Axes)
Describes a single direction of movement in a 3-dimensional
coordinate system. X axis runs le to right, Y axis is front to back
and the Z axis represents what would typically be considered
"vertical".
Backlash
Sometimes called lash or play, it describes the ‘slack’ in a
mechanical system. In the case of the pulleys and belts, it could
be caused by the tooth profile of the belt not matching the
pulley, or by the pulley being loose on the sha which drives it.
Bed
The surface at the base of the 3D printer on which parts are
actually made. Robox® has a removable PEI bed surface to
allow for easy part removal. Also known as a build plate.
Belt
The toothed gear belts which are used in conjunction with
a drive pulley to transfer movement from the motors to
other parts of a machine. Usually fibre-reinforced to prevent
stretching.
Bowden Tube
This is the tube which delivers the filament to the print head.
It is manufactured from PTFE to reduce the friction on the
internal surfaces while maintaining flexibility.
Bridge
This refers to a feature in the printed object where an
unsupported flat surface is produced by essentially printing
‘in thin air’. It is achieved by moving the printhead more slowly
than perimeters, and bonding the extrudate to either side of the
gap so that it is stretched and can cool before it begins to ‘sag’.
Brim
‘Brim’ is a term applied to 3D printing which describes a large
flat area which is printed around the part to help with bed
adhesion and warping - like the brim of a hat. See section 5.5.3.
Build Chamber
This is the enclosed area of Robox® where parts are produced,
and is designed to maintain the ambient temperature and
prevent draughts from aecting the quality of your print.
Build Envelope
This refers to the maximum dimensions of an object which can
be produced with Robox® - 210x150x100mm (LxWxH)
Build Plate
See bed.
CAD
Computer Aided Design - used for designing objects.
