Makerbot test prints done at Generator.x 3.0
March 04, 2012
During the recent Generator.x 3.0 workshop I did some Makerbot prints that ought to push the limits of what’s printable, i.e. with high surface detail, overhangs, “bridges” etc. Strangely enough the finer detail of a MK7 stepstruder didn’t necessarily help, although to be fair our MK7 machine was plagued by a non-level print platform.
Still, I had some interesting results pointing to new possibilities provided models take into account the limitations of the extrusion process. Lattice forms are definitely possible, just look at Frederik Vanhoutte’s models.
