The Ultimaker forums are a great place to find cool prints and sometimes we come across a fantastic print made with one of our materials. This week we found Frederiek Pascal’s print of “The Visitor” printed with copperFill on an Ultimaker Extended 2+ and post processed. Post-processing happened manually with steelwool and copper cleaner, which resulted in a perfect result!
The settings used were:
|
Nozzle diameter: 0.40 mm Layer resolution: 201-250 micron Print time: 8-12 hours Temperature: 205˚ C Speed: 40 mm/s Shell thickness: 1.6 mm Height: 250 mm B/T thickness: 1.2 mm Fill density: 20 % |
