Frequently asked questions Q: How does 3d printing work? A: 3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing, using liquid / laser, powder / binder, or fused deposition. The 12 cubed, like many printers for home use, is a fdm printer. It pushes thermoplastics through a heated nozzle while motors move it around. Q: What can I make on my 12 cubed printer? A: The short answer is anything that will fit in a 300mm cube. The long answer involves your plastic choice, and many other factors as to how well the part will do its job. Q: Why are there so many plastic filaments on the market? A: Every type of plastic has its own uses. Pla plastic is more ridged and prints at lower temps. Abs plastic has a little more flex but prints at a higher temp. So simply put, for every need, you most likely find a plastic. Q: Why does Plasticfab-3d use so much metal in it's printers? A:The industry standard for durability seemed to be ñgood enough will doî. That lends to printers that break easily, or need upgrades just to print good. A large number of 3d printers got their start in a garage. Plasticfab-3d got it's start in a cnc machine shop, build to meet the demanding standards of industrial machining. The 12 cubed printer was designed and built to last. Q: Do I need to know how to use cad to use a 3d printer? A: No. You can find a wide range of print ready files at sites like http://www.thingiverse.com/ and www.grabcad.com, along with others. Q: Do I need to buy any software? A: No. The slicer software (turns a model in to printer code), and printing hosts are open source. You can also find open source modeling software. Q: Is 3d printing hard? A: No, but it is not plug and play like a standard printer. It can take time with some plastics to get good prints. It is best to start with pla filament. Only $2,395.99 - Click here to buy now! |
