3D Printing

This is my new dedicated 3D Printing Page where you will find videos and demos of the 3D Printer I have and any objects I have printed. You will also find the Object .STL files for download in the 3D Printing Download section, which you may download and to get your 3D Prints of to a start. I have started many 3D Printing Projects already some of these are posted in the download section for you to enjoy. Accompanying these 3D Projects will be some video demos which I will put on later, describing any difficulties and issues I have managed to overcome with 3D Printing.

I am using Alfawise U30 for all my 3D Printing Projects and I have used various slicing software and 3D Design software to get me started. 3D Software I found most useful and easy to pick up in terms of learning curve from scratch are Microsoft 3D Builder, TinkerCAD online and MatterControl, my recommendation would be to use TinkerCAD for your creations, for more complex 3D Models you may have to try another 3D Software. The 3D Slicing software I have used are Ultimaker Cura, Slic3r and MatterControl. My recommendation for slicing software would be MatterHackers MatterControl as this has given the best prints with Alfawise U30 Printer and was easy to pick up.

You will need to define your Printer and default printer settings in MatterControl Software to export gcode file for printing.

All of these videos are supported by downloadable content which is accessible from Downloads menu.
