Featuring our CBA section people and an awesome TA Alfonzo
We were able to compare the difference between 3D printing with Prusa versus Bambu. The print on the left is by Prusa, where the print is not completely clean as the one printed on the right by bambu. However, Prusa is able to print letters, while Bambu can only engrave in the letters.
The cup on the left is printed with bambu, while the cup on the right is printed with Prusa. We can see that bambu print is more smooth and the supports are easy to separate, while the prusa print is more crude.
Individual Assignment
3D Printing
For my individual work, I created a pumpkin case as it's almost October!
I printed using Prusa MK4 Input Shaper with nozzle 0.4.
Due to size, I printed each bottom and top piece on two devices. Each took about 5 hours.
One interesting part was that changing the orientation greatly changes the time needed for printing.
I was able to cut from 7 hours to 5 hours just by flipping the same design. However, there was also downside to this.
As you can see from the bottom image, the filament was pushed down on the buttom, making the support hard to take out.
3D Scanning
Though was an individual assignment, we wanted to scan a person's face, so end up working together.
For scanning, we used Creality 3D scanner. The device and interface was easy to use; you would first download CrealityScan app and connect the Creality device with your computer.
Once the device is connected, you will be able to start scanning the object (in this case, human, my lab mate Dunya). You have to make sure to keep the distance between the device and the object/human you are detecting, checking if you are in the green range (as can be seen from the photo below).
Once you found the optimal distance, you can press the start button on the right to start scanning. While doing so, you can also adjust the exposure level on the left side to make sure that you are clearly detecting the object/person.
