Bridge and Overhang Mashup

prusaprinters

<p>This is a print test and demo for the constraints that come from unsupported overhangs and bridges. You can print this as a demo for students to remind them of the constraints of FDM printing and design.</p> <p>This is a remix of <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2593077">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2593077</a> and <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40382">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40382</a></p> <p>Print one without supports to show what happens when overhangs are greater than 45 degrees. Print a second with supports from the build plate to show the difference supports can make.</p> <p>Make sure to emphasizes that supports will leave a rough surface, and cost more time and materials. If you have a dual extruder, you can show how water-soluble supports work. Orient the overhang side to face the cooling fans on your specific printer for best results.</p> <p>I hacked them together in TinkerCAD.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>LulzBot</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>TAZ 5</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.3 - 0.3</p> <h3> <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>Leave rough, do not sand or process.</p></div> Post-Printing</h3> <p>Leave rough to show unsupported overhangs and bridgesrn</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>This is a TinkerCAD hack</p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printing Tests
