Difference between revisions of "Thing-o-Matic 3D Printer Manual - Post-Processing of Printed Items (Q54117)"

I am required to write documentation for equipment and devices I build and design so that others can use them proficiently. Hence, here is another section of my Work-in-Progress Thing-o-Matic 3D Printer Manual, dealing with Post-Processing of Printed Items such as the following: Removing Parts – Taking the object from the printer and separating individual parts or structures Cleaning-up Parts – Removing rafts, support structures and “strings†Refining Features – Resizing holes, rounding edges and sharpening details Assembly – Combining printed and non-printed parts Finishing – Mechanically filing, sanding and polishing as well as chemically or heat treating objects to improve the surface finish To Do: Add pictures Add section on heat treating of parts Add safety gear recommendations Add details for PLA (at the moment it in only based on my personal experience with ABS)
