3D Group Project #1
Test Cube or Die
Objective: TSWBAT work cooperatively in a team utilizing 3D slicing software and the 3D printer to successfully print a 30 mm cube or die.
Task: Your team will print a 30 mm cube or die using FlashPrint software, and summarize the settings used during the print.
Project Options:
Process:
-Select the correct Material Left
-Decide if you need Supports or Rafts
-Set your resolution to low, standard, or high
-Adjust Infill Density and Pattern
-Adjust Extruder and Platform Temperature for your material
9. When ready to print, click OK.
