Printing
First of all the case was divided in 3 separate parts. This was done to make the printing easier since each part now properly fits on the base plate.
Our printing contact is located in Eindhoven. He had his printer placed at his student-home. The first problem we faced was that the filament we bought didn’t stick properly on the base-plate of the printer. In this case, often something like hairspray is used. But even this wouldn’t make the print stick. The ultimate solution for this was to cover the base plate with sticky tape, which solved this problem.
Soon after we finished a few parts we noticed that the printer head started leaking causes filament drops to be spread around the print. This is very bad, since it makes the print quite messy. This problem didn’t have an easy solution since the print head probably had to be replaced or repaired. Therefore we accepted this short coming.
But with the final case-part print the leaking filament caused the baseplate to get loose messing up the complete print. Such a parts take around 12 hours to print and due to the coronavirus traveling to/from Brabant became more doubtful. Therefore we all traveled home because of which the part couldn’t be reprinted.
