WEBVTT 00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:04.937 Hello and welcome to this Animation Master tutorial about how 00:00:04.961 --> 00:00:08.697 to create something in Animation Master which should be printed 00:00:08.761 --> 00:00:12.784 out later on on a 3D printer, in my case 00:00:12.884 --> 00:00:14.845 a MakerBot Replicator 2. 00:00:16.585 --> 00:00:19.441 And it’s a quite easy process, but I want to 00:00:19.473 --> 00:00:22.161 show you what you have to have a look at 00:00:22.193 --> 00:00:25.465 and what you have to care about to get everything 00:00:25.545 --> 00:00:28.045 right and to print it out right away. 00:00:28.805 --> 00:00:31.125 Okay, so the first thing I want to do is 00:00:31.165 --> 00:00:32.701 I want to create a new object. 00:00:32.813 --> 00:00:36.997 So I just double click on the object folder in 00:00:37.021 --> 00:00:43.981 the pvs and now I’m just going to create some 00:00:44.013 --> 00:00:44.629 sort of object. 00:00:44.677 --> 00:00:47.557 I will lace, for example, a race or something like 00:00:47.581 --> 00:00:48.145 that. 00:00:48.805 --> 00:00:50.305 Something very simple. 00:00:51.405 --> 00:00:54.991 Because it’s not about the object here, it’s about the 00:00:55.063 --> 00:00:58.875 process to get to printing it. 00:01:03.535 --> 00:01:06.023 Okay, and here’s the first thing. 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.487 I like to close my objects fully so that there 00:01:10.511 --> 00:01:12.367 is no hole in it. 00:01:12.551 --> 00:01:15.743 And for lacing an Animation Master, that is not possible 00:01:15.919 --> 00:01:18.871 from the beginning on, or at least not in the 00:01:18.903 --> 00:01:20.453 way that it’s looking good. 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:24.601 And because of that I will just leave this little 00:01:24.673 --> 00:01:25.645 space here. 00:01:28.305 --> 00:01:31.521 And after that I will, for example, lace it. 00:01:31.553 --> 00:01:35.881 Now I will go to the Lace Options sections here 00:01:35.993 --> 00:01:42.441 and I will increase that because the Makerbot will print 00:01:42.513 --> 00:01:49.153 with quite high resolution and you will see the different 00:01:49.209 --> 00:01:50.121 polygons. 00:01:50.273 --> 00:01:53.485 Otherwise if I’m not going here, very high up. 00:01:54.025 --> 00:01:56.977 And it’s very likely that you will see them anyway, 00:01:57.041 --> 00:02:00.865 but it will just not be very noticeable for someone 00:02:01.025 --> 00:02:03.681 who doesn’t know that they are here. 00:02:03.873 --> 00:02:08.849 Okay, so we go to the 16 subdivision level there. 00:02:08.937 --> 00:02:10.085 I will lay that. 00:02:10.865 --> 00:02:12.961 And what you can see now is that I have 00:02:12.993 --> 00:02:16.405 a some kind of object, quite dense object. 00:02:17.625 --> 00:02:20.617 And let’s get rid of some normals. 00:02:20.641 --> 00:02:22.285 And normals are very important. 00:02:22.705 --> 00:02:25.005 So have a good look at the normals. 00:02:25.505 --> 00:02:29.145 As you can see, they are pointing outwards here like 00:02:29.185 --> 00:02:30.245 it should be. 00:02:30.825 --> 00:02:34.273 If you are unsure in which direction your normals point, 00:02:34.369 --> 00:02:37.681 you should go to the Tools or Options menu, go 00:02:37.713 --> 00:02:43.365 to Rendering tab, go to Shaded and you should deactivate 00:02:43.445 --> 00:02:47.221 the show back facing polys here. 00:02:47.293 --> 00:02:49.765 So it normally is on. 00:02:49.925 --> 00:02:52.437 And if you go to it and you set it 00:02:52.461 --> 00:02:54.805 to off, you will see the following. 00:02:54.965 --> 00:02:59.469 I will just flip one of the normals here and 00:02:59.477 --> 00:03:04.277 as you can see it will be totally transparent and 00:03:04.301 --> 00:03:05.557 we can see through it. 00:03:05.581 --> 00:03:08.259 And like that I can see where something is not 00:03:08.307 --> 00:03:08.571 closed. 00:03:08.603 --> 00:03:11.175 And because of that I will have this option in. 00:03:11.715 --> 00:03:16.835 Otherwise your Makerbot will, yeah, he will print something, but 00:03:16.875 --> 00:03:20.891 he doesn’t necessarily print what you are looking for there. 00:03:20.963 --> 00:03:21.795 Because of that. 00:03:21.915 --> 00:03:23.255 Please Have a look at that. 00:03:23.595 --> 00:03:26.935 I have been told that I don’t need to close 00:03:28.195 --> 00:03:30.135 the holes in my object. 00:03:32.725 --> 00:03:34.909 I have to admit that I never tried that, because 00:03:34.957 --> 00:03:37.181 I just don’t know what the Makerbot should do in 00:03:37.213 --> 00:03:43.261 this case, because how should we connect something now there 00:03:43.293 --> 00:03:45.277 is an object that has to be printed. 00:03:45.341 --> 00:03:48.357 The object has a volume, and because of that something 00:03:48.421 --> 00:03:49.341 has to be done here. 00:03:49.373 --> 00:03:52.581 And Makerbot can now assume that, for example, I want 00:03:52.613 --> 00:03:58.821 to close the object in this way maybe, but maybe 00:03:58.853 --> 00:03:59.685 I don’t want that. 00:03:59.725 --> 00:04:02.477 And because of that I just have to define it 00:04:02.501 --> 00:04:04.045 for him so that the state is clear. 00:04:04.085 --> 00:04:08.773 And Makerbot, the replicator too has not to guess anything 00:04:08.869 --> 00:04:10.989 because of that, I’m just closing everything down. 00:04:11.037 --> 00:04:14.573 And I have made good experience with that. 00:04:14.749 --> 00:04:16.877 So just go to the add mode. 00:04:17.021 --> 00:04:20.277 I tend to use the stitch mode for that because 00:04:20.341 --> 00:04:23.745 it’s just not deforming anything else here. 00:04:24.815 --> 00:04:29.435 So just press shift while you are connecting something. 00:04:30.695 --> 00:04:35.795 And like that I can quite fast close my object 00:04:38.055 --> 00:04:49.207 and mean that this part here is very flat, but 00:04:49.231 --> 00:04:52.623 that’s not a problem in general, because it’s a small 00:04:52.679 --> 00:04:55.019 part for my object later. 00:04:55.107 --> 00:05:00.019 And like that I just preserve the shape that I 00:05:00.067 --> 00:05:02.363 have formed around that. 00:05:02.499 --> 00:05:04.363 That is the more important shape for me. 00:05:04.419 --> 00:05:06.091 Because of that, I’m just doing that. 00:05:06.243 --> 00:05:10.611 And you just don’t have to worry much about how 00:05:10.643 --> 00:05:14.595 it would look if you are rendering, because that’s not 00:05:14.675 --> 00:05:17.295 very important for the printer. 00:05:21.125 --> 00:05:21.985 Okay. 00:05:23.765 --> 00:05:27.413 And as you can have a look at the normals 00:05:27.469 --> 00:05:27.829 again. 00:05:27.917 --> 00:05:30.413 I have to say it again, just have a look 00:05:30.429 --> 00:05:32.725 at the normals and do it in the right way. 00:05:32.765 --> 00:05:36.301 You will just get what you want and you won’t 00:05:36.373 --> 00:05:38.705 get anything you can’t handle. 00:05:39.205 --> 00:05:44.765 Okay? Another thing for printing objects in 3D is that 00:05:44.805 --> 00:05:47.971 you have to be aware of your overhangs. 00:05:48.163 --> 00:05:50.747 As you can see, we have now at this point, 00:05:50.891 --> 00:05:55.243 an overhang that means that the printer, which is going 00:05:55.339 --> 00:06:00.375 from the bottom up and printing one line after another. 00:06:00.795 --> 00:06:07.123 I will, for example, show you that with just a 00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:09.895 small object that I will create here. 00:06:11.085 --> 00:06:13.477 This is just to show you how the printer will 00:06:13.501 --> 00:06:13.685 work. 00:06:13.725 --> 00:06:16.065 You don’t have to do that in any case. 00:06:17.165 --> 00:06:21.157 And as you can see, this is my spline and 00:06:21.181 --> 00:06:25.105 it’s more or less a straight line. 00:06:25.725 --> 00:06:28.949 And now you can see the printer will go from 00:06:28.997 --> 00:06:29.517 here. 00:06:29.661 --> 00:06:30.781 Print this part. 00:06:30.893 --> 00:06:33.557 Print this part with a specified layer height. 00:06:33.581 --> 00:06:35.189 You are specifying in Make Aware. 00:06:35.237 --> 00:06:39.883 Make Aware is a printing software and it will just 00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:42.175 print, print, print, print, print. 00:06:42.515 --> 00:06:46.723 And to print something at this point, Make Aware or 00:06:46.739 --> 00:06:51.035 the MakerBot Replicator 2 in this case needs to have 00:06:51.075 --> 00:06:54.403 something to print on, because you can’t print in thin 00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:56.615 air at this point, for example. 00:06:56.955 --> 00:07:00.483 And it will very likely work at this point and 00:07:00.579 --> 00:07:02.959 in any case at this point. 00:07:03.147 --> 00:07:06.591 But it can be depending on the size of your 00:07:06.623 --> 00:07:10.815 object you are printing later on that you will get 00:07:10.855 --> 00:07:13.287 into trouble with this part here. 00:07:13.351 --> 00:07:18.727 Because at this point, if Makerbot starts printing this part 00:07:18.791 --> 00:07:23.815 here, at this point there is nothing to print on. 00:07:23.975 --> 00:07:26.639 And because of that, you would have to use support 00:07:26.767 --> 00:07:29.515 materials in makerware later on. 00:07:29.905 --> 00:07:34.537 The problem with support materials in the Megabot Replicator 2, 00:07:34.669 --> 00:07:40.209 in comparison, the Megabot Replicator 2X can for example, print 00:07:40.257 --> 00:07:44.325 with a different material, like for example, pva. 00:07:45.265 --> 00:07:51.441 The good thing about that, plastics that is water, not 00:07:51.473 --> 00:07:52.449 water resistant. 00:07:52.537 --> 00:07:57.659 Because of that, you can just more or less dissolve 00:07:57.787 --> 00:07:59.587 this PVA in water. 00:07:59.651 --> 00:08:03.355 And like that you could very easily get rid of 00:08:03.395 --> 00:08:04.547 support material. 00:08:04.691 --> 00:08:10.099 But the Replicator 2 can’t print with two different colors 00:08:10.147 --> 00:08:10.979 at this point. 00:08:11.107 --> 00:08:14.099 And because of that, you will have to have a 00:08:14.107 --> 00:08:16.403 look at the support material and you will have to 00:08:16.459 --> 00:08:19.067 manually get rid of that. 00:08:19.251 --> 00:08:23.099 And since the support material is the same material, like 00:08:23.147 --> 00:08:27.507 the material you are printing with, this can get quite 00:08:27.571 --> 00:08:28.251 hard. 00:08:28.443 --> 00:08:31.491 It depends on your model and it depends on the 00:08:31.523 --> 00:08:32.627 support material. 00:08:32.771 --> 00:08:35.795 And sometimes I tend to do my own support material 00:08:35.835 --> 00:08:43.027 and not my own support structure and not let Makerbot 00:08:43.091 --> 00:08:44.979 do it automatically for me. 00:08:45.147 --> 00:08:50.259 But in this case, I would say that you may 00:08:50.307 --> 00:08:51.435 run into trouble. 00:08:51.595 --> 00:08:56.467 You just have to try it out sometimes, because as 00:08:56.491 --> 00:08:59.659 I said before, in some situations, if this, for example, 00:08:59.707 --> 00:09:02.775 would be a very, very small object, like for example, 00:09:04.155 --> 00:09:08.315 I don’t know, maybe just 1cm in size or something 00:09:08.355 --> 00:09:13.195 like that, it will print nonetheless because the sticking to 00:09:13.235 --> 00:09:16.747 the sides here would be enough to hold some material 00:09:16.811 --> 00:09:17.855 at this point. 00:09:18.395 --> 00:09:20.835 But you just have to have a look at that 00:09:20.875 --> 00:09:23.011 and have to see if it’s working or if it’s 00:09:23.043 --> 00:09:23.895 not working. 00:09:24.195 --> 00:09:30.499 So try it out and don’t be, yeah, don’t be 00:09:30.587 --> 00:09:38.659 too cheap about your plastic because it’s really, really, really, 00:09:38.747 --> 00:09:41.739 really much. 00:09:41.867 --> 00:09:47.775 I can print from, for example, spool of 1 kg. 00:09:48.875 --> 00:09:51.635 The plastic is very, very light. 00:09:51.715 --> 00:09:56.195 And yeah, you will just have to see what is 00:09:56.235 --> 00:09:57.115 going on there. 00:09:57.235 --> 00:09:59.651 But in the end it will just not cost you 00:09:59.683 --> 00:10:00.615 a fortune. 00:10:01.555 --> 00:10:02.415 Okay. 00:10:03.075 --> 00:10:04.603 And that’s more or less it. 00:10:04.659 --> 00:10:08.455 So just to make sure that we could print this, 00:10:09.755 --> 00:10:17.665 I will just grab my outer parts here, the ones 00:10:17.705 --> 00:10:22.521 that may have or may be of trouble, and I 00:10:22.553 --> 00:10:25.521 just go and make them a little bit smaller like 00:10:25.553 --> 00:10:26.009 that. 00:10:26.137 --> 00:10:31.445 And in most cases this should print very well. 00:10:36.275 --> 00:10:45.699 I tend to have my own rule here is that 00:10:45.827 --> 00:10:48.731 I don’t go over 60 degrees of overhang. 00:10:48.803 --> 00:10:52.819 That means that, for example, this part is okay. 00:10:52.947 --> 00:10:56.051 If you are going to print with an overhang of 00:10:56.083 --> 00:11:02.941 for example 90 degrees, which would be this one, that’s 00:11:03.013 --> 00:11:04.065 just too much. 00:11:04.525 --> 00:11:08.333 But as I said, it depends on the size of 00:11:08.349 --> 00:11:10.557 your model and some other factors. 00:11:10.741 --> 00:11:12.957 And because of that you just have to try it 00:11:12.981 --> 00:11:14.305 out once in a while. 00:11:14.805 --> 00:11:15.181 Okay. 00:11:15.213 --> 00:11:17.565 And as you can see, we have an object here 00:11:17.605 --> 00:11:18.185 now. 00:11:19.365 --> 00:11:21.549 And all I have to do now is I just 00:11:21.597 --> 00:11:25.105 right click in my modeling window, go to Plugins Wizards 00:11:25.445 --> 00:11:26.905 and export. 00:11:27.415 --> 00:11:32.551 You can’t see it, but there’s a sterilithography model in 00:11:32.583 --> 00:11:37.039 brackets STL file that I can export from Animation Master. 00:11:37.207 --> 00:11:42.355 I think it started with 17 if I’m not wrong. 00:11:42.935 --> 00:11:46.231 And here is my export dialog. 00:11:46.343 --> 00:11:51.075 You can choose how often the polygons which are created 00:11:52.175 --> 00:11:55.641 or how often the patches will be will be parted 00:11:55.673 --> 00:11:58.241 or split into polygons here. 00:11:58.313 --> 00:12:02.257 And because of that you can just use for example 00:12:02.321 --> 00:12:03.713 one of these settings. 00:12:03.809 --> 00:12:06.689 And we are printing with a 3D printer. 00:12:06.737 --> 00:12:10.521 So you should go in a very high value here. 00:12:10.593 --> 00:12:14.641 I tend to go to 64 because it just doesn’t 00:12:14.673 --> 00:12:15.565 matter much. 00:12:16.065 --> 00:12:20.529 And there is nothing that, for example, on the rendering 00:12:20.577 --> 00:12:21.777 time or something like that. 00:12:21.881 --> 00:12:23.789 It’s just not concerning you here. 00:12:23.897 --> 00:12:27.285 Because of that, go to one of the higher values 00:12:27.325 --> 00:12:31.277 here, 32 or 64 and don’t bother with one, for 00:12:31.301 --> 00:12:37.053 example, okay? Just tell him where to go to. 00:12:37.109 --> 00:12:45.525 For example, I will go to this little part of 00:12:45.605 --> 00:12:46.797 my hard drive here. 00:12:46.901 --> 00:12:49.611 I will give it a name that I can reconnect 00:12:49.693 --> 00:12:59.919 or recognize later on, for example Tutorial part STL and 00:13:00.007 --> 00:13:00.847 just hit ok. 00:13:00.911 --> 00:13:03.435 At this point binary format is ok. 00:13:05.015 --> 00:13:07.423 And what I want to show you here is that 00:13:07.479 --> 00:13:12.647 Animation Master has a different sizing than MakeAware has. 00:13:12.791 --> 00:13:17.235 And the sizing factor you have to consider is 10. 00:13:19.025 --> 00:13:22.577 So if I import this to make aware this is 00:13:22.601 --> 00:13:23.124 MakeAware. 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:28.817 So the current interface of the newest MakeAware edition. 00:13:29.001 --> 00:13:34.825 You go to file add, you get your mount and 00:13:34.865 --> 00:13:38.529 your part you want to print, you go to this, 00:13:38.577 --> 00:13:42.457 you just say that the object is of the platform 00:13:42.561 --> 00:13:44.639 and I just click here. 00:13:44.687 --> 00:13:47.247 Yes, it doesn’t matter because you have to go to 00:13:47.271 --> 00:13:50.367 the platform, but I will, for example, as you can 00:13:50.391 --> 00:13:53.955 see, have to rotate my object. 00:13:54.735 --> 00:14:00.303 Animation Master has a different coordinate system, but it’s really 00:14:00.359 --> 00:14:04.111 just a matter of selecting the object, going to the 00:14:04.223 --> 00:14:09.311 tool, going to this, and now just getting the right 00:14:09.383 --> 00:14:12.757 axis to set it in the right space. 00:14:12.941 --> 00:14:17.709 And now I just go to on platform, move on 00:14:17.757 --> 00:14:20.653 platform and I tend to print in the middle. 00:14:20.709 --> 00:14:24.637 But you can for example print several objects at once 00:14:24.701 --> 00:14:25.785 if you want to. 00:14:27.245 --> 00:14:28.661 So it really doesn’t matter. 00:14:28.693 --> 00:14:30.989 And as you can see, we have a quite high 00:14:31.037 --> 00:14:38.951 density here because we used the 64 subdivision level, which 00:14:38.983 --> 00:14:46.599 means that every patch in Animation Master is parted four 00:14:46.647 --> 00:14:50.435 times or eight times on each axis. 00:14:51.575 --> 00:14:55.215 And like that you have a quite nice model here 00:14:55.375 --> 00:14:58.287 it is on the build platform and as I said 00:14:58.351 --> 00:15:02.675 before, this has a different scale than in Animation Master. 00:15:03.345 --> 00:15:08.649 This scale is 20 millimeters, 22 millimeters on the x 00:15:08.697 --> 00:15:09.153 axis. 00:15:09.249 --> 00:15:12.185 If you go back here you will see that we 00:15:12.225 --> 00:15:15.785 have 22 cm on the x axis. 00:15:15.945 --> 00:15:22.125 So if you just use centimeters in Animation Master and 00:15:24.665 --> 00:15:29.247 you just use centimeters as if they would be millimeters, 00:15:29.361 --> 00:15:30.615 you are good to go. 00:15:30.915 --> 00:15:32.851 That’s the easiest way to go. 00:15:33.043 --> 00:15:36.035 Another way would be for example to just increase the 00:15:36.075 --> 00:15:36.899 scale here. 00:15:37.027 --> 00:15:38.243 That’s fine too. 00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:43.790 For example, with 1000 to get this to be in 00:15:43.898 --> 00:15:47.899 the right dimensions of 22 cm on this axis. 00:15:47.947 --> 00:15:53.667 But as you can see, it’s just a little bit 00:15:53.691 --> 00:15:58.307 too large for my Makerbot here to print because here 00:15:58.331 --> 00:16:01.735 is some overlapping over my box I can print in. 00:16:02.875 --> 00:16:07.139 The object is not suitable to be printed like this. 00:16:07.187 --> 00:16:09.947 You may have to part it for example, if you 00:16:09.971 --> 00:16:13.243 need to print something in that dimensions. 00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:15.587 But that doesn’t matter very much. 00:16:15.731 --> 00:16:19.923 Okay, so let’s go back to the original scale I 00:16:19.939 --> 00:16:21.215 have imported here. 00:16:21.955 --> 00:16:26.533 And again use centimeters in Animation Master as if they 00:16:26.589 --> 00:16:30.309 would be millimeters in real world. 00:16:30.437 --> 00:16:33.865 And like that you can create the right sized images 00:16:34.245 --> 00:16:37.545 or objects that you want to create. 00:16:38.365 --> 00:16:41.581 Okay, so. 00:16:41.773 --> 00:16:44.221 And yeah, we are ready to print now. 00:16:44.253 --> 00:16:50.029 You can see my makerbot is currently idle and can 00:16:50.117 --> 00:16:53.825 print with my USB connection here. 00:16:54.245 --> 00:16:56.245 And you just go to make it. 00:16:56.285 --> 00:17:02.533 Now you would use your or choose your settings, the 00:17:02.549 --> 00:17:04.109 quality settings for example. 00:17:04.277 --> 00:17:07.189 And you can use the pre built ones which is 00:17:07.237 --> 00:17:11.693 low, medium and high with different settings. 00:17:11.749 --> 00:17:14.397 You can see at this point or you can this 00:17:14.461 --> 00:17:18.005 indicates a little star I’m I have here. 00:17:18.165 --> 00:17:20.509 You can use a different setting. 00:17:20.557 --> 00:17:23.845 For example, in this case the medium for me is 00:17:23.885 --> 00:17:30.941 layer height of null point 22 or 22 and the 00:17:30.973 --> 00:17:32.705 original one would be this. 00:17:33.445 --> 00:17:37.341 It just depends on how high the resolution should be. 00:17:37.533 --> 00:17:41.989 Take in mind or have in mind that printing with 00:17:42.037 --> 00:17:46.431 a smaller layer height will take longer, but it will 00:17:46.463 --> 00:17:48.215 create the smoother surfaces. 00:17:48.375 --> 00:17:51.835 So it depends on what you want to achieve here. 00:17:52.415 --> 00:17:55.315 Here are the temperature settings and the speed settings. 00:17:55.655 --> 00:17:58.875 In general I tend to leave them as they are. 00:17:59.815 --> 00:18:04.679 With this, for example, if a print is not coming 00:18:04.727 --> 00:18:10.879 along well and for example it’s just too fast and 00:18:11.007 --> 00:18:13.637 something is going wrong with your print, you can for 00:18:13.661 --> 00:18:18.901 example go here and I don’t know, do it for 00:18:18.933 --> 00:18:23.105 example with 70 millimeters per second. 00:18:25.045 --> 00:18:28.925 But in general I just don’t use that and I 00:18:28.965 --> 00:18:30.173 keep it as it is. 00:18:30.349 --> 00:18:34.189 What I do sometimes is the temperature. 00:18:34.237 --> 00:18:38.501 For example, I sometimes get the temperature a little bit 00:18:38.533 --> 00:18:46.219 lower, for example to 28, 228 Celsius, because the degree 00:18:46.267 --> 00:18:49.851 level here will make it more likely to print very 00:18:49.883 --> 00:18:53.275 well, but do it really very, very slightly. 00:18:53.395 --> 00:19:00.275 So for example, if you go to 22,5 degree Celsius, 00:19:00.395 --> 00:19:03.555 you will have a problem because it may be that 00:19:03.595 --> 00:19:07.135 your PLA will no longer melt very well. 00:19:07.555 --> 00:19:10.515 So going to high is not good, going to low 00:19:10.555 --> 00:19:11.171 is not good. 00:19:11.243 --> 00:19:16.281 So in general keep it at 230 degrees. 00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:21.691 Maybe go to 228 degrees or something like that, but 00:19:21.803 --> 00:19:23.379 don’t play too much with that. 00:19:23.507 --> 00:19:25.775 It’s just not worth it in general. 00:19:26.155 --> 00:19:29.547 And the quality setting is something I often have a 00:19:29.571 --> 00:19:30.123 look at. 00:19:30.219 --> 00:19:35.983 For example, the infill level will, will determine how much 00:19:36.159 --> 00:19:38.355 material you will be printing with. 00:19:38.735 --> 00:19:41.871 This means that there will be a structure inside of 00:19:41.903 --> 00:19:46.967 the object you are printing and the structure will fill 00:19:47.031 --> 00:19:48.675 10% of your object. 00:19:49.135 --> 00:19:52.087 So if you need for example a very steady object, 00:19:52.231 --> 00:19:53.871 you would increase this. 00:19:54.023 --> 00:19:56.647 And if you for example, just want an object which 00:19:56.711 --> 00:20:02.663 looks good and which has no purpose to, or to 00:20:02.679 --> 00:20:06.127 be very steady as purpose to be very steady, you 00:20:06.151 --> 00:20:07.903 just don’t have to have a look at that and 00:20:07.919 --> 00:20:11.287 you just can leave it for example at 10% or 00:20:11.311 --> 00:20:12.275 something like that. 00:20:12.615 --> 00:20:19.279 So I did never print over 50% until now, 15% 00:20:19.367 --> 00:20:20.423 until now. 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:25.785 And it is really, really hard to break anything here. 00:20:26.125 --> 00:20:30.757 That is the case because for example, Makerbot has a 00:20:30.781 --> 00:20:35.517 very nice structure in the object which will take much 00:20:35.541 --> 00:20:40.189 of the plastic away, but it will really just leave 00:20:40.237 --> 00:20:45.445 the steadiness at approximately the same level. 00:20:45.525 --> 00:20:50.493 Because the infills are not giving you any more stable 00:20:50.669 --> 00:20:54.475 object, but they are just increasing the height, the weight 00:20:54.515 --> 00:20:55.255 of it. 00:20:56.995 --> 00:21:01.667 Yeah, numbers of shells is something you don’t have to 00:21:01.691 --> 00:21:02.947 bow so much with. 00:21:03.131 --> 00:21:06.819 Again, if you increase this, the object will be more 00:21:06.867 --> 00:21:10.747 steady and more stable and the layer height is more 00:21:10.771 --> 00:21:13.011 or less the most important part here. 00:21:13.123 --> 00:21:16.315 Because I am often, for example printing at a layer 00:21:16.355 --> 00:21:20.936 height of 0 dot, for example. 00:21:21.066 --> 00:21:27.155 This is half the resolution the MakerBot Replicator 2 can 00:21:27.195 --> 00:21:27.775 do. 00:21:28.595 --> 00:21:29.003 Actually. 00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:36.811 You can even go with a much, much better resolution. 00:21:36.883 --> 00:21:42.191 Than for example 0.1, so 100 micrometers. 00:21:42.347 --> 00:21:49.198 There are people which have used MakerBot with your. 00:21:49.354 --> 00:21:57.735 With for example, a setting of 0.0.5, so they doubled 00:21:57.855 --> 00:21:59.263 the resolution again. 00:21:59.399 --> 00:22:02.151 But that’s just a little bit harder to print with 00:22:02.223 --> 00:22:04.415 and you will have more trouble to do that. 00:22:04.455 --> 00:22:07.439 And because of that, just go with a setting like 00:22:07.487 --> 00:22:11.663 for example, this one, because this is really a good 00:22:11.719 --> 00:22:12.023 setting. 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:18.195 It will produce very nice objects and it’s twice as 00:22:18.235 --> 00:22:21.811 fast as the one that would be if you are 00:22:21.843 --> 00:22:25.467 going to print with layer height of 100 micrometers. 00:22:25.611 --> 00:22:26.043 Okay. 00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:29.187 And if you are ready, press on make it. 00:22:29.291 --> 00:22:32.539 And if you press on, make it, he will slice 00:22:32.587 --> 00:22:37.187 it at this point, verify it and start printing. 00:22:37.291 --> 00:22:40.339 I will stop it before it’s printing at my point, 00:22:40.467 --> 00:22:43.293 because I just don’t want to print that now. 00:22:43.419 --> 00:22:47.833 But in general it’s a fast process and you may 00:22:47.929 --> 00:22:53.809 have to wait, for example, I don’t know, maybe 10 00:22:53.857 --> 00:22:58.321 minutes if it’s a more complex object, but that’s the 00:22:58.353 --> 00:23:00.365 most time I had to wait for that. 00:23:01.585 --> 00:23:03.605 And that’s more or less that. 00:23:03.945 --> 00:23:07.145 So hope you have Fun with your MakerBot and with 00:23:07.185 --> 00:23:08.685 animation Master, of course. 00:23:09.235 --> 00:23:11.971 And if you have any questions, please feel free to 00:23:12.003 --> 00:23:14.611 ask me, for example, in my blog or do a 00:23:14.643 --> 00:23:19.331 comment below, or for example, if you want to use 00:23:19.363 --> 00:23:23.255 a contact form on my website. 00:23:23.635 --> 00:23:26.095 And let’s see what you can create with it. 00:23:26.635 --> 00:23:27.315 Have a nice day.
