3D printed force/pressure sensors

cults3d

Use of conductive material for the resistor parts and PLA material is recommended for the rest. The uploaded files contain STLs for a printer with a dual or single extruder, allowing users to print with ease. For those using a single extruder, each printed layer should be carefully glued together. Supports have been added to the dual extruder files and should be printed with PLA material, which is available at affordable prices. To achieve optimal results, the bridge speed should be set between 8 mm/s and 15 mm/s, while the height of each layer should be precisely controlled at 0.1mm. A calibrator has been included for added precision and accuracy. For detailed assembly instructions, users are directed to check the relative included STLs. Additional resources such as a components list, Arduino code, and more can be found on the official website: http://horizonlab.co/2017/04/19/3d-printed-force-pressure-sensors/. For those interested in printed with conductive filament, it is available for purchase at https://ebay.to/2AAWUMf. Alternatively, low-cost PLA material with unique colors can be obtained from https://ebay.to/2F1bP61.
