From an Object to a Megapolis

Assignment #6 : Design object to 3D print 

I decided to create a 5CM ruler, since its my first 3D printed object. Something to keep with me in my wallet as a reminder where design has reached now and how advanced its getting.

1- I sketched the object on Fusion 360 

2- Then i extruded the sketch

3- In order to construct the lines for the size indication, i had to use the command construct plane at an angle.

4- sketched the 5CM and extrude it using the cut option to achieve the needed engravings  

5- save the object as STL file 

6- open the file in Cura

7- adjusted the setting according to the object 

8- rotated the object 90 degrees so its more practical to print

9- time required to print 18 min 

10- saving the file as Gcode 

11- Done , my favorite ruler ever :) 

Assignment #5 : Joint 

Box for paper clips

2 Weird 3D Printing Systems

Afinia H480

Utilizing some of the best linear actuators available on the market, this small, yet powerful 3D printer.  It’s an older machine–in fact, it was unveiled back in 2012–but still tops the charts when it comes to reliability and precision. A small, reasonably priced 3D printer that offers an out-of-the-box printing solution. It can print ABS and its heated build platform adjusts automatically. The build platform has a volume of 14 x 14 x 13.5 cm and it can print at a layer height of 150 microns. It is known as the UP Plus 2 outside of the US.
