additive manufacturing

Adative manufactering is the process in which a 3D printer is fed a 3D model from a modeling software and the printer will then print the 3D moddle.

Made the top of the bolt with my name

Cut out the sides for a more asthetic look

Extruded a cylinder off the bolt head

Threaded the cylinder off the bolt head

Created the nut

cut out the sides

threaded the nut

This is the nut and bolt in the slicer

Power Chain

Challenge Objective - 3D model a roller chain link of your own design and print a series of five links without print supports. When completed, the link should move as a roller-type chain.

Criteria

Must be designed in SolidWorks
Prepared in a slicer for additive manufacturing
3D printed in PLA filament
An individual link cannot take up more space than 20mm²
Test prints (no more than two links) are required before full prints (no more than 5 links)
No slicer-generated supports allowed

I needed to add tolerances and the end was to short

Added an extender to the end but

I needed to add tolerance

Addded tolerances

Chain in the slicer

Movement in assembly

There was no tolerance on this piece so it fuzed and broke

The Connecter hole was not thick enough so it broke

The axel was too big so it fuzed

I shrunk the axel and moved the hole away to make more room and it worked

I printed the final to small o I need to print it bigger

The object cannot take up more space than as 80mm sphere.

Unlike the previous year, you must create a ring to fit over the vertical monitor support. Make sure to use a caliper to measure. Don’t rely on a peer’s measurements. The object will then somehow be attached to the side of the ring so that the other student from the other class can also display their project on the other side of the support.
