Speed Racer Testbots

pinshape

It's incredibly tough to find a superior test print than the Ultimaker robot; it boasts an impressive array of features including insets, embossings, overhangs, bridges, posts, and fine details all packed into a model that's less than an inch and a half tall. The Customizer enables users to create a base for the robot which can be utilized to document all slicer and printer settings. We finely tuned Cura settings for speed printing by adjusting layer height, wall and roof counts, infill density, print speed, and minimum layer time, then recorded those settings on bases and glued on the corresponding 3D printed robots. These printed Speed Racer Testbots will enable us to share best practices and slicer information with students and faculty who use the 3D printers at JMU 3SPACE.
