Ultimaker Robot

thingiverse

This is a sweet discovery I made the moment I fired up Cura 15.4.02 for the very first time. It can give aspiring engineers a hand in fine-tuning their 3D printer designs down the road. UPDATE: Curiously, something similar happened when I booted up Ultimaker Cura software for the first time - this cool robot showed up, so I saved the model and posted it. Custom Section Project: 3D Printing Robot Objectives This project is meant to equip you with the skills needed to properly calibrate your 3D printer for simple prints and get familiar with a slicing software. You should also learn how to choose a suitable resolution for 3D printing. Audiences Students aged 13 years old or higher Preparation Materials required for this project include: A 3D printer Printing filament Steps Download one of the two files from this site. Open your selected file in a slicing software program. Add necessary supports to ensure print success. Export your prepared file to an SD card. Calibrate your printer for accuracy and precision. Print out your CAD model. (If you experience an unsuccessful print, simply repeat the last two steps.) Results Upon completing this project, you should end up with a highly accurate representation of your 3D design.
