| + | ===== Print on fabric ===== | ||
| + | * Get a stretchy kind of fabric. Lycra seems to work well. <wrap hi>More details are coming</ | ||
| + | * Create a vector drawing with max dimensions of 25x25cm. | ||
| + | * A combination of lines and gaps seem to work well. | ||
| + | * Fully closed shapes won't change the curvature of the fabric after printing. | ||
| + | * Export as SVG file | ||
| + | * Make a 3D model from the vector file | ||
| + | * Use Fusion 360 or Blender for ex. | ||
| + | * extrude the shapes vertically 0.3mm | ||
| + | * Slice in Cura | ||
| + | * If the drawing is only lines, try minimizing infill and up the amount of walls for cleaner lines. | ||
| + | * slow down the initial layer speed to 8mm/sec | ||

| + | * Clamp the fabric with small clamps around the bed. <wrap hi> Be careful to not move the print bed. The motors are de-energised and the bed can accidentally be moved by hand. We should look for a fix.</ | ||
| + | * Check that the fabric or clamps won't bump into things or trigger the limit switches. | ||
| + | * When ready, click '' | ||
| + | * While the printer head moves down, manually push some filament into the print head to prime the nozzle. Put a scrap piece of paper under the nozzle to catch any molten plastic that squirts out. | ||
