Project Dimensional Ventures

Image
Especially during recent times, 3D printing has been and continues to be an international phenomenon as it hails over an abounding number of benefits. 3D printers bring a new face to rapid prototyping and to the manufacturing industry as they ease the production of complicated, considerably large objects. One of the most prominent limitations regarding 3D printers are their limited size and their corresponding pricey components. Project Dimensional Ventures is a project initiated by (disclosed) and gives the rise to a type of 3D printing typically made for exceedingly large 3D prints. This 3D printer we attempt to refine and create is one with virtually no limitations according to size. The 3D printer replaces the costly frames and equipment a standard 3D printer utilizes and in its stead, uses an ingenious method to recoup those materials. This 3D printer we are trying to create is suspended in the air through 4 sets of strings; each representing an axis. Those particular string...

Project Salvstruct

Starting Date: 02/12/2018 Printer #1: Epson 7800 (Received on 02/13/2018 for $15) Salvaging Process Initiated: Initial Thoughts:  Salvaging parts from old electronics is time consuming and if not researched carefully enough, you may end up with parts you don't need or want.  Concluding Thoughts:  Salvaging materials and parts from outdated, broken or any electronic product does not often seem to necessarily outweigh its benefits. Definitely questions whether salvaging electronics has its benefits. One particular benefit is the fact that you may be able to salvage parts that are more expensive when bought individually. Concluding Results:  This printer was a bust; no threaded rods, and no stepper motors were found inside. The only functional parts obtained were several gears, two dc motors and a glass panel. Project Conclusion: Salvaging parts from electronics such as printers has turned out to be extremely extensive and timely while yielding minimal r...

Project Printkit (Anet A8)

My experience with the Anet A8 The Anet A8 is quite an exceptional 3D printer. To be completely honest, there have been numerous amounts of times where I have been extremely frustrated with the Anet A8 but ultimately, it has been nothing more than such an excitement. The Anet A8 comes with entirely separate parts in which the user has to construct entirely. Of course, as an overly eager person, I absolutely loved this challenge. I was able to learn about all of the different aspects of the 3D printer while being able to learn the various components and parts the Anet A8 comes with. Before I commenced the build of the Anet A8, I read and watched tutorials and reviews of the 3D printer online. Many before had stated all the problems they had encountered, and how they had avoided it or fixed the problem. Throughout the build process, I really believe that my knowledge of the Anet A8 through online resources aided on how easily I could build and acknowledge the 3D printer. ...
