Contact me @ http://twitter.barnnerd.com -&- http://facebook.barnnerd.com We only in the near past obtained our Christmas Tree and I made a decision it will be cool to 3D print Christmas Ornaments for our tree utilizing the Ultimaker 3D printer. I lately put in the Duel Extrusion head so I made a decision to strive printing some flakes in a single colour and different flakes in one other colour with out having to vary materials. You must hack the GCODE to inform it to make use of the 2nd head since CURA solely makes use of it whenever you mix fashions collectively but it surely’s straightforward to do utilizing notepad.
I selected the mannequin @ http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34850 by Roman Hegglen as a result of it is a easy however detailed design that’s utterly flat so I might run the Ultimaker at break-neck velocity. When printed utilizing clear filament it makes a really convincing snow colour with a shimmer to it that may be very good and appears incredible on the tree.
I hung the ornaments utilizing customary metallic hooks you’ll use for hanging some other Christmas ornaments and so they labored completely! When I scaled the fashions all the way down to %50 the opening was too small so I needed to loop the hook although the middle but it surely nonetheless regarded incredible when held on the tree.
I’m going to make this a brand new household custom to 3D print ornaments yearly for the tree however subsequent 12 months I’m going to do some lithographs of my household and put battery powered LED’s behind them so when held on the tree they gentle up with our faces (keep tuned for 2014 and remind me if I overlook).
The filament I used was from PrintedStable.com and is made by ColorFabb. It’s a PLA/PHA printed at 220 levels and the layer top was 0.2 if you wish to reproduce my precise outcomes. I sliced all of the fashions utilizing CURA and so they turned out superb.
The collision close to the tip of the video knocking one merchandise off the construct platform was as a result of me hand modifying the GCODE to make use of the 2nd print head with out accounting for the printing considering it was utilizing the ahead most print head and bumping the mannequin (oops). CURA wouldn’t do that so I hope they finally add a characteristic to decide on which print head you wish to use for a single print.
I actually hope you loved this video and I hope it motivates you to print your individual Ornaments to your Christmas tree. Just like snow flakes no two are precisely alike!
