Following the Quick Start enables you to start your first project without any issues. If you have any questions during the set-up, please fill in this form.

Step 2. Install Simplify3D and import the FFF profile

Simplify3D is the slicing software used to convert your 3D model (.STL) into a gcode. The software is used to determine print speed, infill percentage of the print and more. You have received the Simplify3D license for 2 devices by email, so you can now create your personal log-in.

Note: The Builder Extreme is not listed in Simplify3D as a standard printer, so choose Other printers and click OK.

We have created standard FFF profiles for a 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 mm nozzle. With these optimized settings, you are able to use the Builder Extreme directly after installation. Please download the FFF profile for your model of the Builder Extreme here. Open Simplify3D and go to File, Import FFF profiles and import the FFF profile. Now you are ready to start slicing.

Something new 3D ideas fell like buckets. I continue the theme of puppet modeling - I wanted to print all sorts of small things.

I came across a model Zhong Li on the Internet with funny horns on her head. It can be seen that the model is from the game, but she herself could not be found. Maybe some mod or fanart:

I think you don't have to search - it's a simple matter to model and print. Only I will print in a special way. In order for the horns to have a texture, we need to turn the FDM printing bug into a feature and set a larger layer height. And so that everything glows beautifully, use transparent plastic in one wall, then paint it with a transparent composition. The task is quite extreme - the process here can be even more interesting than the result.

Modeling right on the head, using that photo as the only reference. In the same way, relaxing for fun, like head off:

If you put it flat on the table, there will be a lot of supports, and the texture is not very beautiful:

It should be placed vertically, then there will be less supports and the texture of the layers is similar to natural horn:

Material - PETG transparent yellow with alica. The settings are: nozzle 230, table 70, nozzle diameter 0.6 mm, layer height 0.4 mm, 1 wall, 0 bottom and lid layers, 0% infill. The speed is less - 25 mm / s on the perimeters and 60 on the supports. I wonder if ender will take it out?

He took it out, of course. Only the thin top warped from lack of airflow, and when the supports were removed, it broke:

Reprinted with 100% airflow and less supports, it's already better. It was easy to take off the support:

A new idea came right away - it is necessary to use a sacrificial tower so that the tip that has not yet cooled off does not warp with a hot nozzle:

I decided to print both horns at once, together with a turret that is a couple of millimeters higher. Everything OK:

The tips led, but the turret took the brunt of the hot nozzle - it was her fate.

The texture is there, it's time to remove the supports and paint. Remember that the layer is too greasy for its nozzle diameter, which does not add any pluses to adhesion. The little twig survived the removal of the support, but not the wire. I had to glue it with super glue:

I paint with an experimental composition (actually a UV resin with an epoxy dye). The last layer is a matte top coat for gel polish. The effect seems to be the same as I wanted, but I don’t like the shade of plastic, it gives off green:

The texture of the layers is preserved and sealed with gel, the flaws on the tips are smoothed out with it. Just in a nail lamp, such 3D things are inconvenient to dry. It seems that I will have a backlight camera before a photopolymer printer...

I still don't know how to attach them to my head. While I cling to the wire for a row of hair. I don't want magnets:

Wow what a beautiful amber texture. For a long time I have not had a feeling of satisfaction with my own work, and maybe never before. Maybe it was necessary to print from completely transparent PETG, but for the first time it will do. The main thing is that the painting method works as it should, and the printer coped with suboptimal settings.

3D printing stylus for extreme conditions

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Vkontakte

Today we will tell you about one very extreme order from our SLS printing portfolio. Extreme in the truest sense of the word - the item printed by us is now actively used beyond the Arctic Circle. Meet the unique tactile stylus for scientific and surveying tablets.

Our customer needed the stylus, which is extremely strong, light and frost resistant, to work with tablets in polar tundra conditions where temperatures easily reach -50C°. Challenge: The stylus must be durable and resistant to any adversity (this is especially important where the nearest place where it can be replaced is several days away). But the most specific requirement is that it must have a strictly defined texture: matte moire. Such a surface cannot be obtained by casting, but the native shagreen texture of polyamide PA 2200 is very similar to it.

Gathering all the requirements together, we developed a model and printed a single copy - so that the customer can test it and make sure that the resulting stylus has all the desired properties. This is very important: you should never waste a client's money by launching a print run with unpredictable properties in 3D printing. It is much better to lay the intermediate phase , print a test sample and offer it to the customer for testing. And having received the necessary feedback, you can safely make improvements to the model and begin production of the series.

But our stylus didn't know what to expect! The customer approached the issue of testing extremely responsibly and sent his new accessory to the climatic test chamber. There he spent 8 hours at a temperature of -52C °.

Results:

  • flexibility - no change;
  • color - no change;
  • smell - no change.

The customer tried to break such a completely “frozen” stylus, failed, was extremely happy ... and immediately sent it back to the camera. Only this time in its "hellish" version - a furnace with a temperature of + 72 ° C. Eight hours in this hell - and a new test.

Results:

  • flexibility - no change;
  • color - no change;
  • smell - no change.

The client was satisfied with the quality of the prototype and its specific moiré texture (very important!) and immediately ordered us another 20 units.

We were able to achieve such excellent results because we combined several strengths of SLS 9 technology with 0127 :
