Important things to know before ordering
Internal fill percentage
The weight and strength of the product, as well as its manufacturing time, depend on the stiffness grid that the printer prints inside, distributing the load. The infill can vary from 0% to 100%, allowing you to achieve the optimal balance between cost and strength depending on the operating conditions and your requirements.
Wall thickness
Wall thickness and internal filling together affect the strength and weight of the product. With partial filling, strength can be increased by increasing the wall thickness: for lightweight mock-ups and prototypes, a thickness of 0.8 mm is often used, while for products subject to physical stress, a thickness of 1.2 mm or more is used.
Overhanging element supports
Supports are needed to build overhanging elements in a model, as a 3D printer prints in layers, and each new layer must rest on the previous one. If there are parts in the model that do not have support underneath them, supports will be created during file preparation, which the printer will then print. After printing is complete, the supports are removed, but the surface where they contact will be rougher.
Material selection
The choice of material for 3D printing is made depending on the task at hand. The main criteria are: strength characteristics, thermal and wear resistance, durability, accuracy and surface quality, and, of course, price.
