Printing complexe biomaterials/ custom printer #47

Closed Timothee-Leblond closed 9 months ago

Timothee-Leblond commented 12 months ago

Hi everyone, I'm trying to print foamy material using FullControl. However and as I'm new to it, I encountered some difficulties. I'm using an Artillery SWX2 printer, on which I've installed a print head (motor-driven piston syringe). The syringe has a capacity of 300mL and the extruded material is foamy. This is cold printing. I'd also like to be able to create a single print layout.

Would you have any idea on how I could: -Correctly fill-in the parameters of this type of bespoke printer in the sheet -Handle the flow rate of foamy material during the print

Thank you very much in advance, All the best,

Tim

Great to hear you using it for this. I want FullControl to be as easy as possible to use/adapt for all sorts of new printers.

There's a notebook here that hopefully discusses the things you need. The manual_e_ratio parameter in initialization_data in fc.GcodeControls can make it easy to tweak flow rate settings manually/iteratively.

Is there anything else you need to get it going?
