Test Prints & Experimentation

Experimentation:

- Infill pattern

- Hollow internal

- Comparing printers

RHINO INITIALS EXERCISE

Rendered view
Reflection:

When it came to material rendering, rhino's extensive library and customization options enabled me to experiment with different textures, colors, and finishes.
Finished ;)

INFILL PATTERN EXPERIMENT

Cura grid infill pattern

Lightning and concentric infill has the faster printing time of 23minutes compared to Grid infill printing time of 24 minutes

HOLLOW INTERNAL EXPERIMENT

Half of a sphere with Spiralize Outer Contour (tick)

1. Under extensions -- part for calibration -- add a sphere
2.Split a sphere into half by moving it down z-axis by its radius size
3. Tick Spiralize Outer Contour
4. Press slice to see printing time (5 minutes)

USING PRUSA MK4

PrusaSlicer bridge - printing time 6 minutes

USING ULTIMAKER

Cura XYZ cube - printing time 13 minutes with 10% infill density and gyroid infill pattern

COMPARING PRINTERS EXPERIMENT

Prusa marvin - estimated print time 6 minutes

In conclusion, Pursa printer is better in terms of both print time and quality of print.
