About Hardware:
Many different AM machines are available on the market.
This learning unit focusses on printing with the Ultimaker 2 Extended+.
This machine is easy to handle and offers great out-of-the-box printing results.
The Ultimaker series are widely spread. For that reason there is a huge community for support if a problem comes up.
There are different types of filament. The most common of those filaments are ABS and PLA.
About Cura and the project:
This learning unit concentrates on preparing to print a mobile phone car mount. As a prerequisite we need an existing 3D-model and the latest version of the freeware „Cura“.
An AM machine is not able to directly print from a 3D-model file. At first a software (in this case
„Cura“) has to calculate layers which the machine is able to handle.
All quality settings concerning the resulting print take place in Cura.
Finally we export the converted file to a hard drive or to a SD-card.
