Small Assignment: First 3D Print

Due Dates

Assignment due date: 9pm, Friday September 6

Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is for you to set up your 3D printer properly and make sure you are able to print high quality artifacts for the rest of the semester. If you have a Creality Ender 3 Pro, download and print the dodecahedron.gcode file. If you have a different printer, download, slice, and print the dodecahedron.stl file. The part should be 20mm tall.

The print should be of excellent quality. You made need to tune your printer and/or level your bed several times before you get it right. Take the time to really dial this in. You do not want to be struggling to produce good prints for the entire semester.

Create a post on this website that includes a good picture of your print and a short description of any challenges you faced setting up your printer and getting your first high quality print.

There is no discussion component to this assignment.
