VW Beetle Front Bumper Gasket

thingiverse

Printed on flexible material, known for its durability and versatility. Material size: 1.75mm PLA. Nozzle size set to 0.4mm for optimal extrusion. Print quality set to high resolution. Temperature control is crucial; the print head is set at 190 degrees Celsius for a smooth finish. The build plate remains at ambient temperature, allowing for consistent results. Maximum print speed is capped at 40 millimeters per second, ensuring a stable and even layer formation. Infill percentage is set at 5%, providing a balance between strength and material efficiency. Rectilinear infill pattern is used to minimize layer adhesion issues. Top layers consist of two layers, while the bottom layers require three for added stability. Three perimeters are printed around each layer to prevent cracking and ensure structural integrity. Temperature adjustments are made throughout the print process: initial three layers at 195 degrees Celsius, followed by 185 degrees Celsius for the remaining layers. Printed on a Printrbot Simple Metal, this model is designed for precision and reliability. The design is split into two parts, then glued together using the same flexible filament melted to 210 degrees Celsius for a seamless bond.
