3D PRINTING

Image
I choose the hinge as my 3D printing project because it could not be easily made substratively due to the exist of joint and complex design if using laser cutting. At first,I sketch the rectangle and a few circle . Then I extrude the sketch  and then extrude the circle so can make it as a joint. I construct the blue surface in the figure and make it as the mirror plane later.I use the mirror function so it will become the situation in the figure below. After that,I create new component from bodies and  set the midplane,I use again the mirror function so the both side will be same design. Then I copy the model so the two model will exist and I use the joint function to make them joint together.  I fillet the corner of the model as 4.5 mm After work is done, I save the file and export it as STL format. I open the Cura software and import the file which in STL format. I change the setting which is the speed to 60mm/s and build plate adhesion in brim type the click the slice ...
