3D Printing
Jan. 2023
Context:
I bought a 3D printer to assist in my Clockwork project, broken sunglasses project, and future personal projects.
Implementation:
I watched a lot of YouTube videos and read a lot of articles for reviews of different 3D printers before purchasing one. I then watched a lot of YouTube videos for tips on printing, how to maintain printer health, how to store filament, how to recycle PLA, and more.
The first few prints I made failed. Through trial and error as well as YouTube videos, I managed to print solid items. Some issues I ran into and fixed included the filament not adhering to the bed well enough as well as the nozzle not being close enough to the bed. Here are some of my failed and eventual successful prints:
Once able to print well consistently, I modeled and printed a temple for my broken sunglasses.
