Study Notes
Types of 3D Printers
- Cartesian 3D printers are based on a system of three mutually perpendicular axes (X, Y, and Z axes) and exhibit linear motion along these axes.
- Polar 3D printers work on polar (R-θ) coordinates, with the extruder assembly moving along the vertical axis and the print bed rotating and reciprocating horizontally.
- Delta 3D printers have the extruder assembly suspended along three connecting rods, forming a triangular shape.
Anatomy of a 3D Printer
- The anatomy of a 3D printer consists of both mechanical and electrical structures.
3D Printer Components
- A Cartesian printer typically uses 3 motors.
- The extruder moves in both X and Z directions.
- A 3D printer typically uses 3 end stops.
Filaments Used in 3D Printing
- PLA, ABS, and Nylon are common filaments used in 3D printing.
Simulation Objectives
- Students will be able to simulate the operation of a 3D printer for different parameters and analyze the effect of these parameters on the printer's performance.
- Students will be able to build a 3D printer using different parts and learn about assembly without damaging the parts.
- Students will be able to answer questions related to part functioning and assembly of the 3D printer.
Delta 3D Printer Simulation
- The simulation aims to construct a delta 3D printer and provide in-depth knowledge of its mechatronics.
Assembly of Delta 3D Printer
- The assembly process involves selecting parts in a sequence and assembling them correctly.
- Incorrect sequence selection will result in a pop-up error message.
Playing with Axes
- The simulation allows users to move the z1-axis and z2-axis sliders or enter values within a given range to observe the movement of the respective axis assemblies.
