- learning goal:
- after this activity, student is expected to learn how to adjust the parameters (density, pattern) of infill and how to adjust the shell parameters (shell layers)
- tasks
- follow the procedure to learn the basic knowledge of infill. shell and infill pattern
- screenshot of slicing the cubes
- print the cubes
- take photo of the two sets of YOTH
- upload the screenshot and photos on confluence
- reference

- download the cube file and import in Superslicer
- scale the cube to 151515mm
- copy 5 cubes
-
Turn off top layers Print settings > Perimeters and Shell > Horizontal shells > Top: 0
-
change the numbers of perimeters. the larger the value, the thicker the vertical shell will be.
-
change the numbers of infill percentage. the larger the value, the denser the object and the stronger it is
-
add infill pattern parameter for each cube
-
click the edit button for each cube
-
choose the infill opinion
-
Set a pattern for this cube
-
same as the rest cubes, make sure setting each cube with different infill patterns
-
slice the cubes
-
export the g-code and print the cubes
