3-D Printing Guides and Notes
The below information is from Steve Lopez, the Undergraduate Lab Supervisor for the Electrical Engineering department and also the EE/CSE Makerspace (NH 241) Manager.
Preface: “This is what I send any student group that’s working on projects in one of the design classes that is planning to use the 3d printers. By no means is it an exhaustive list, but they are some really decent resources to use when trying to get your head in the mindset of designing with the intent to 3d print. Hope you find it useful!!”
(more…)Introduction and Synopsis for 3-D Printing
Originally given as a Tech Enrichment Lecture, the information presented below is a general overview of 3-D printing.
(more…)Printing to the Lab 335 3-D Printers
Former TA Saed made a video on how to use the 3-D printers in Lab 335.
Each printer has a Raspberry Pi attached to it via USB. These Pis are running an OctoPrint web server which is only accessible via the Skynet WiFi.
(more…)Designing PCBs in Eagle
The UTA Electrical Engineering Department has made a set of videos which document the process and details for designing and making PCBs.
These videos are written specifically for Autodesk Eagle.
Optimizing Print Settings for Large Parts
3D printing large parts can be tricky. Any imperfection can cause a failure of the whole assembly, which wastes time and filament.
(more…)Optimizing Print Settings for Medium Parts
Like small parts, medium-sized parts can have their difficulties. Whether it be adhesion, corners, or rounded edges, parts usually need their own specific settings for a successful outcome.
(more…)Optimizing Print Settings for Small Parts
Printing small parts often brings forth many woes. Whether it be adhesion, corners, or rounded edges, small parts usually need their own specific settings for a successful outcome.
